For the first time at a Japanese airport, karaoke arrives at Kyushu Saga International Airport!
The small-group karaoke system 'COCOKARA' will debut as the airport-special version 'Saganosora'.
Service begins on January 22, 2025.
Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'our company') proposes enhancing facility value by installing karaoke systems in various locations such as commercial and public facilities.
Kyushu Saga International Airport Building Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Kyushu Saga International Airport') will introduce the small-group karaoke system 'COCOKARA' for the first time in a Japanese airport on January 22, 2025. As a special specification for Kyushu Saga International Airport, it will be named 'Saganosora,' and the airport's mascot character, Muppy, will be featured on the door.
■ Background of the installation
To offer a new style of karaoke that expands various ways of enjoyment, our company launched the small-group karaoke system 'COCOKARA' in 2019. It has mainly been introduced in amusement facilities, shopping centers, and hot spring facilities.
Facility operators can provide new services by effectively utilizing idle spaces within their facilities, and facility users can easily enjoy karaoke during their free time.
Overseas, particularly in China, karaoke booths resembling phone booths are often installed in airports and shopping centers, and many people enjoy karaoke during short waiting times.
In this context, Kyushu Saga International Airport has decided to adopt 'COCOKARA' as an effective means for users to spend their waiting time meaningfully, based on our proposal. This will be the first case in a Japanese airport.
■ Benefits of Installing 'COCOKARA' at Kyushu Saga International Airport
・Provides airport users with a new entertainment space to make waiting times, such as before flights or while waiting for arrivals, more enjoyable.
・Not only enhances user satisfaction but also generates new revenue from idle spaces.
・Can also be utilized as a welfare benefit for airport employees.
