Description via JFF
ヤクザと学生が手を組んだ、前代未聞のコメディ映画！
合唱部の部長を務める14歳の聡実（齋藤潤）の頭の中は、中学卒業を控えた最後のコンクール一色だった。しかし、ある日、彼はヤクザの狂児（綾野剛）と出会う： 「カラオケ行こ！」。警戒する聡実を横目に、狂児は組のカラオケ大会で負けられないと歌のレッスンを迫る。やむなく聡実はカラオケの練習を手伝うことになり、2人は思いがけない友情を育んでいく。コメディ、友情、そして豪華なサウンドトラックで、和山やまの愛すべき漫画に命が吹き込まれる！
The yakuza and youth join forces in this pitch perfect comedy!
As his school’s choir club leader, 14-year-old Satomi (SAITO Jun) has only one thing on his mind – the upcoming final competition before he graduates middle school. However, his routine is disrupted when he’s approached by Kyoji (AYANO Go), a menacing yakuza with an unusual request: “Let’s go karaoke!” Baffled and cautious, Satomi soon discovers the off-key gangster needs singing lessons to avoid losing his gang’s karaoke contest and a harrowing punishment… a bad tattoo selected by the boss himself! Reluctantly, Satomi agrees to help Kyoji through a series of karaoke sessions, and the duo forge an unexpected friendship. Featuring comedic twists, heartwarming moments and of course, a stellar soundtrack, this adaptation brings WAYAMA Yama’s beloved manga series to life!
