MKU-1

The Hitachi Karaoke MKU-1 is a karaoke peripheral for the Sega Saturn, only sold in Japan. Though to the western world it seems like an odd attachement for a games console, karaoke is hugely popular in Japan, with many of the major consoles supporting karaoke adapters.

The karaoke unit sits below the Saturn system and links up via a expansion cable. The device supports up to two microphones, each with its own volume control.
