Karaoke
From Aegisub Wiki
Karaoke (カラオケ) is a Japanese term describing singing along to a song where the original vocal has been removed.
Usually the lyrics for the song are displayed on a TV screen (often with a music video in the background), such that the words are highlighted as they are to be sung.
[edit] Karaoke in subtitling
When the word "karaoke" is used talking about subtitles, it usually means the timing and styling of the text appearing on screen, to match the song, rather than the singing itself.
