The Let’s Go Karaoke! anime adaptation has received its first trailer, which shows the relationship between middle schooler Satomi Oka and the yakuza Kyouji Narita.
The trailer also reveals a July 2025 start date for the anime.
Let’s Go Karaoke! is based on the manga by Yama Wayama, which Yen Press describes as:
Nothing worries Satomi Oka more than the upcoming final choir competition of his middle school career — right up until he is accosted by a stranger from the shadows who demands, “Let’s go karaoke!” As a yakuza, Kyouji Narita doesn’t scare easily, but a terrifying prospect has driven him to seek Satomi’s help. The boss is holding a karaoke contest, with the loser forced to get a tattoo to be selected and torturously applied by the boss himself! Oka has been to many vocal rehearsals over the years, but never one-on-one karaoke sessions with a gangster!!
The Let’s Go Karaoke! anime was announced together with an anime adaptation of Captivated, by You, another Wayama manga. Both manga are one-volume titles published under KADOKAWA’s Beam Comics imprint and were originally doujinshi.
The anime adaptations of both manga are Doga Kobo productions with Asami Nakatani (Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirage) as director, Yukiko Tsukahara (Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian Episode 9 co-director) as assistant director, Mai Matsuura (The Stories of Girls Who Couldn’t Be Magicians, King of Prism by Pretty Rhythm) as character designer, and Takuro Iga (OSHI NO KO) as music composer.
