Karaoke is originally the same thing everywhere, but in Japanese it seems to have been gotten from the word orchestra (ookesutora -> Abbreviation : oke) and 空 (kara) meaning 'empty, blank, vacant'. It's written 空オケ and read [ka ra o ke].

kara means "empty" and oke is a Japanese contraction of "orchestra," so karaoke means "empty orchestra," or music made without musicians
