Plot of „Let’s Go Karaoke!“:
Satomi Oka is most concerned about the final choir competition in his middle school career until he is approached by a stranger with the words „Let’s go Karaoke!“. This person is the yakuza Kyouji Narita, who, not easily scared, seeks Satomi’s help due to poor future prospects. His boss will hold a karaoke contest, and the loser will be forced to get a tattoo selected and tattooed by the boss. Oka has participated in many voice competitions, but never had a one-on-one karaoke session with a gangster.
Plot of „Captivated, by You“:
Hayashi’s open and innocent demeanor silently attracts the attention of classmates and strangers as he counts the steps in the school building, takes pictures of street signs, and dries sweet potatoes on the classroom balcony. In an adjusted world, Hayashi’s nature is refreshing and honest. Nikaidou is the exact opposite. He has worked hard to build a dark facade to keep his classmates at bay. While many in the school view Nikaidou as a bad omen, one student can catch a glimpse behind the mask, and undeterred by rumors of misfortune and superpowers, he recognizes the true self of Nikaidou.
