About Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2025: Let’s Go Karaoke!
Junior high school choir leader Satomi (Jun Saito) has a lot on his plate, preparing for the choir’s final performance before his graduation and struggling to live up to expectations with the spectre of his changing teenage voice looming over his head. But as if that’s not enough, he is thrust into even more chaos when yakuza lieutenant Kyoji (Go Ayano) inserts himself into his life.
Kyoji is in a bind: his boss’s annual karaoke competition is coming up, and Kyoji’s hopeless voice puts him in danger of receiving the humiliating punishment endured by the loser. He desperately needs to learn how to sing, so after overhearing a performance by Satomi’s school choir, he corners Satomi and asks him for lessons. Satomi is reluctant at first, but could it really be possible to give a karaoke lesson to a yakuza?
Adapted from the manga by Yama Wayama, Let’s Go Karaoke! is a heartfelt and hilarious comedy that explores the odd chemistry between its contrasting protagonists and breaks refreshing new ground for the ‘yakuza film’.
