The researcher adopted qualitative in-depth interview and used guided interview as the research tool to make the interviewees tell their stories in an easy way. The researcher participated in the long-term field study and analyzed the collected data based on the colonial memories. In addition, the researcher found and inferred from the interviews that the memories of colonial education, memories of colonial work, memories of colonial life and affection, and memories of colonial war were the reasons why the elders chose Japanese-style karaoke as their leisure activities.

There were physiological benefits, social benefits, benefits of relaxation, benefits of education, psychological benefits and aesthetic benefits included in the study.
