Behold: the world's first karaoke ferris wheel

Just when you thought the Japanese couldn't get any more over-the-top with their wacky attractions, some genius has combined two of the fun-loving nation's favourite pastimes into one, giving us the world's first karaoke ferris wheel.
The Big O ferris wheel - with a diameter of 60m and reaching 80m into the air - in Tokyo Dome City amusement park has been delighting visitors for some years.
It's also in close proximity to the city's biggest concert venue, where many famous artists put on their shows. Maybe it's thanks to this that the park has decided to give ordinary visitors a taste of the high life too...
