When Satomi is cornered by a yakuza after a choir recital, the last thing he expects is to be invited to karaoke and asked to provide singing lessons. As it turns out, the gangster is threatened with a humiliating punishment if he loses a karaoke competition. But Satomi struggles with his voice breaking. Nobuhiro YAMASHITA’s film is a musical comedy that breaks away from clichés.
