Karaoke? hahaha
Well... even the name Japan sounds closer to the Chinese pronunciation than the Japanese one.
EDIT: OK. It was a humorous guess. Karaoke developed in Japan, but the patent for the first Karaoke-style machine belongs to a Filipino named Roberto del Rosario. With the way things are going, just give it a little more time and the Philippines will be considered "part of China", too. And then... I'll be right! hahaha

Every English speaker refers to mochi regardless it's found in Chinese restaurants and markets. I believe it originated from China, I've been eating it all my life.

NONE !
btw, Karaoki was not from Japan, but from Germany, both the name and the invention. Japan is merely the copycat.
