Satomi Oka is the head of a school choir who feels that someone was closely watching him during the latest performance. Afterwards he is approached by a finely dressed man, Kyouji Narita, who reeks of yakuza, and who pressures him to go to a karaoke place with him. It turns out that Narita's boss has an obsession with karaoke and every three months a gang competition is held. The consequences for the member who gets the worst score are dire, and Narita wants a coach to help him improve his singing ability.

(One episode watched):

At the end of episode one I felt a distinct lack of any idea where this story could be going. Indeed, when I created this page I had a hard time thinking of any keywords that would be applicable. Drama? I didn't detect any emotions building. Oka is kind of demoralized after the choir came in second at the competition and seems to feel that he isn't really nearly as good at singing as other people claim. Comedy? I guess there were a few jokes but they didn't make me laugh much. But ANN described this as a comedy, so I did as well. Problem is, the situation Oka finds himself in did not seem funny at all to me; neither did the description of what would happen to the worst performer in the mob karaoke contest. Perhaps the greatest cause of the 'emptiness' I felt at the end of episode one was that neither of our main characters has been developed enough to seem like intriguing people that I ought to take interest in. Where can the plot possibly go from here? Where, that is, that I would possibly want to see it go?
