What this is
Karaoke meets the underworld — this nationwide collaboration brings the dark-comedy anime "Hozuki's Coolheadedness" into Karaoke no Tetsujin locations across Japan, with themed drinks, collaboration set menus, and original merchandise available even if you skip the singing. Three branches (Ikebukuro East Exit, Fukuoka Tenjin, and Sapporo Susukino) go further with fully decorated concept rooms that require advance reservations. Merchandise is also available online via Animate Online Shop from August 21 to September 6 for those who can't visit in person.
Who should go
Fans of the Hozuki's Coolheadedness anime who want a themed experience beyond standard merch drops. Karaoke groups looking for a novelty room booking in Fukuoka, Tokyo, or Sapporo will get the most out of it.
Good to know
Concept room reservations are made directly through Karaoke no Tetsujin's booking system — check their official site for availability, as these themed rooms are limited and popular collaborations sell out fast. Karaoke no Tetsujin branches are generally card-friendly at the main counter, but it's wise to carry cash for any extras. Merchandise can be purchased without booking a karaoke session, making a quick merch-only visit viable. For those outside Japan or unable to visit during the event period, Animate Online Shop accepts orders from August 21 to September 6 and ships internationally via services like Tenso.
