Start karaoke and ban unnecessary kissing in Japanese theatre (6)
I believe the answer is:
kabuki
'japanese theatre' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'start karaoke and ban unnecessary kissing in' is the wordplay.
'start' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'karaoke and ban unnecessary kissing in' is 'KABUKI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kabuki that I've seen before include "Traditional Japanese drama" , "Japanese drama form" , "Trad. Japanese drama" , "Form of classical Japanese theatre" .)
