What this is
Karaoke chain Karaoke no Tetsujin is running a nationwide tie-in with the manga series "Kirishima-kun Wants to Tease Me" (Natsuki Wants To Tease), offering collaboration drinks, set menus, and original merchandise at 10 locations across Japan from late July through mid-September 2026. Random bonus items come with purchases, and supplies are limited — so early visits are rewarded. The Ikebukuro East Exit branch goes a step further with a dedicated concept room decked out in series artwork and posters, available only through August 25.
Who should go
Fans of the manga or romance-comedy anime genre who want a themed experience beyond just watching the show. Works equally well for solo visitors or small friend groups — you can order the collab drinks as takeout without booking a karaoke room if you just want the merch.
Good to know
Karaoke no Tetsujin locations typically accept both cash and major credit cards, though policies can vary by branch — carrying some cash is advisable. Collaboration merchandise and bonus items are while-stocks-last only, with no guarantee of restocking, so a weekday visit early in the campaign gives you the best chance. If you want the concept room experience, book the Ikebukuro East Exit branch before August 25 via the chain's official website or app; room reservations can usually be made online in advance. Takeout orders for collab drinks and set menus are available without a room booking, making this accessible even if you don't plan to sing.
