They say that when a person sings, his body produces the happiness hormone. The now famous form of entertainment invented by the Japanese in the 1970s—karaoke—provokes an utter hormonal explosion. But it’s not violent, and is in fact altogether positive.

At karaoke bar Oktyabr, in the movie theater of the same name on Novy Arbat, you can experience precisely such an explosion of emotions.

The interior, which features a Moroccan theme, is luxuriously decorated in exclusive Eastern fabrics and accessories, as well as with custom-made stained-glass-covered lights. Fitting harmoniously, somehow, into this enchanted space are also plasma TV screens and other shiny pieces of high technology. There are six private VIP rooms where you can sing however you’d like—while sitting on the comfortable armchairs, lying on the low-set sofas, anywhere you want. These are perfect spots to practice your stylings before hitting the big stage for a concert. Here there are always two singers to provide back-up vocals, so what may start as a casual sing-along can in fact turn into a full-blown performance by professionals.
