What this is
Karaoke meets anime in this month-long collaboration between the movie "Cosmic Princess Kaguya!" and Karaoke no Tetsujin's Sapporo Susukino branch — one of Japan's most popular karaoke chain tie-in formats. Fans can order themed drinks, food, and set menus tied to the film, buy exclusive merchandise, and take part in a "Challenge Song Challenge" where participants sing designated tracks using a scoring function. Notably, you don't need to book a karaoke room to enjoy the food, drinks, or merch — walk-ins can order takeout or shop without stepping into a booth.
Who should go
Anime fans following the Cosmic Princess Kaguya film, especially those who enjoy the karaoke collaboration culture that's uniquely popular in Japan. Works well for solo visitors, pairs, or small groups looking for a themed activity in Susukino.
Good to know
Karaoke no Tetsujin is a well-known chain and reservations can typically be made via their official website or app — a Japanese phone number may be required, so booking in person or via a hotel concierge is an option for foreign visitors. Payment at karaoke venues in Japan is usually handled at the end of your session; most Tetsujin locations accept major credit cards, but carrying some cash is advisable. The venue is on the 4th floor of the Silver Building in Susukino, Sapporo's main entertainment district, so it's easy to combine with dinner or nightlife nearby. Merchandise is available for purchase without entering a karaoke room, making it accessible even if you're not planning to sing. The collaboration runs until August 16, 2026, so visit earlier in the period for the best stock of limited merchandise.
