Let's Go Karaoke! – Season 1 Episode 4 Recap & Review
Episode 4 Let's Go Karaoke! episode 4 starts going way back in time. When Kyouji Narita was born, his mother gave him the name Kyoji and asked his grandfather to submit his birth certificate. However, the man stained the paper with cigarette ashes and had to write the name again. As he was desperate to fix it, he ended up writing it the wrong way. Years later, in the 2000s, Kyouji worked at a karaoke bar. During the night shift, he knocked and entered a room with two yakuza, and one of them got angry at him. So, he threw his drink at Narita's face. Still, the boy only apologized and went to another room to deliver more food, completely unfazed. Soon, he got a call to come back to the same room and saw that they were all yakuza as well, and one of them had rashes. The gangster was allergic to alcohol, which got mixed into their chicken after Narita was bathed in it. After he explained that, the two yakuza groups clashed. While they fought, Narita was so dazed that he ended up suggesting they resolve their issues with a karaoke battle as a joke. Even though Kyouji didn't participate in the fight, his boss let him go after the incident. So, the yakuza boss, who was nice to Narita, hires him. Kyouji always knew the gears of his life would go berserk at some point, and that's how it started. Now, the anime takes us back to Satomi, seeing the aftermath of a car crash. The boy walks away, almost crying, and remembers Kyouji's competition. Then, he runs to the place they hold it every year in the hopes of finding him. However, when he gets there, he can't find him anywhere. He shouts at all the gangsters, and their boss answers Narita's already in hell. The boy can't believe what he's hearing and curses at them, saying they should be in hell too. Before he leaves, the boss demands that he go back and sing something, after barging into the place and being rude. Thus, Satomi chooses one and realizes that he doesn't hate Kyouji. He sings with the hand on his throat, but still does it with all his might. As the song goes, he remembers his moments with Kyouji, and all the yakuza members see his incredible skills. Meanwhile, his classmate Wada prepares for the school festival and thinks about how despicable Satomi is for running away. However, he doesn't know the boy is in an important battle right now. Even though Satomi advised Kyouji not to sing Crimson, the man would always put it on during their karaoke sessions. So, he's sure Narita would choose the same song for the competition. To honor him, he did the same. When the music ends, everyone claps and celebrates with the boy, praising him. The yakuza boss even cries after listening to his heartfelt presentation. However, a surprising person also applauds his efforts. It's Kyouji himself. The boy can't believe his eyes, and the man explained it was a joke and that the boss was in on it. Narita expected the man he had attacked the day before would go after him, so he was prepared for the car crash. He couldn't miss the karaoke competition, so he didn't stay on the scene and ran to the bar. After that, the boy cries, and everyone laughs. That's the last time Satomi sees Kyouji. Years later, Satomi goes to the same karaoke place where he taught Narita with his classmates to celebrate their graduation. They use the same room as well, and he finds Narita's card that he left there. Touched by the situation, the boy takes it home with him. As he's about to go on a flight to Tokyo to start college, he sees the card again and decides to keep it as a memento. Then, again, Narita sits by his side and surprises him. The boy thought he was dead, but the gangster was only avoiding him for a while and letting him enjoy his high school years. Now, he offers him a new card and says he's also going to Tokyo on a business trip. He reveals that he ended up being the worst singer and used the boy's strategy of telling the boss something they liked as if they hated it. So, now, he has the name 'Satomi' tattooed on his arm. To wrap up the episode, he invites the boy to karaoke one more time once they arrive in Tokyo. The Episode Review Let's Go Karaoke! concludes its main story in a nice note. It's an emotional episode as we learn more about Narita and finally see Satomi singing. Having him overcome his fears by participating in the yakuza competition is a great curveball that makes even more sense than being part of the choir festival. It also serves to show how he grew to care about Kyouji. Narita's not being dead was quite predictable, but it doesn't affect the scene. What's important is Satomi's feelings for him, not whether the man died or not. It shows a sweet and innocent side of the boy, despite his harsh and nonchalant façade. Seeing Satomi singing Crimson is the highlight of the show. Not only are his thoughts beautiful, but the colours representing him and the song are, too. The scene also makes it clear that his voice is changing, but he can still sing. You can hear the cracks in his voice as he tries to hide and fight them with his skill. It's a great presentation. Let's Go Karaoke! shines when it tries something new with its visual representation, but its dialogue and plot hardly have the same impact. So it's a great achievement that this episode combined the anime's strengths and developed Satomi into a better character. Let's hope the last episode does the same and gives viewers a fitting conclusion. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!

Robbers target early morning commuters at Cape Town taxi rank
Night shift workers in Cape Town's CBD say they are targeted by robbers at the taxi rank stairs. Street vendors report business losses as fearful customers avoid the area. Authorities have increased patrols but urged public vigilance and group travel. Catching a taxi from Cape Town's CBD before sunrise has become increasingly dangerous for night-shift workers. Robberies have been reported around the station deck stairs leading to the taxi rank, with women travelling at around 04:00 being the most affected. Many have resorted to waiting for other night-shift workers, particularly men, to accompany them to the taxis for safety. 'We need more security; police and law enforcement must be visible early around the area so that we can be safe,' said commuter Amzolele Sampu. Sampu said the robbers blend in among the homeless, making fires near the stairs. 'They appear homeless, but they are not. They target us,' she said. READ | Western Cape taxi industry leaders admit links to extortionists and gangs Another taxi commuter, Andile Kumeke, said he is scared to walk alone with the women after his shift as a petrol attendant ends. 'These boys have big knives,' he said. 'I have kids at home, and I do not want something to happen to me. We need a vehicle to flash blue lights here to scare them off.' Street vendors near the rank say crime has also hurt their businesses as commuters who once stopped for coffee or snacks now hurry past. 'I used to sell out within three hours,' said vendor Eric, who starts work at 03:30. 'Now, it's difficult.' Velani Ludidi/News24 Both police and the City's Law Enforcement Department confirmed they are aware of the robberies. Law enforcement spokesperson Wayne Dyason said that, in partnership with the Cape Town Metro Police Department, traffic service, and SA Police Service, they maintain a visible policing presence in the area. 'This includes targeted patrols informed by Crime Intelligence and regular enforcement operations based on crime statistics and trend analysis. While we remain committed to improving safety, being in every location at every moment is impossible.' Police spokesperson, Sergeant Wesley Twigg, said police have engaged with other stakeholders to address the concerns. 'We appeal to the public to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings at all times, and walk in groups if possible.'

Woman Is Called ‘Selfish' for Not Wanting to Share Her ‘Private Space' with Family She ‘Barely' Knows When They Visit
A woman wrote on Reddit that she co-owns a home with her mother and sister and recently found out that a cousin and her two young kids — whom she 'barely' knows — are coming to stay for the summer When she protested having to share her 'private space' in the basement with the kids, her mom called her 'selfish' 'I value my personal space and quiet. I also work night shifts, so when I come home in the morning to sleep, I don't want to be disturbed with any noise,' the Redditor wroteA woman is less than thrilled about the prospect of having to share her private space with two young relatives for the summer. The 29-year-old detailed her dilemma in a post on Reddit's popular "Am I the A------" forum, beginning by explaining that she co-owns her house with her mother and sister and that the basement is her "private" domain. The OP (original poster) said her mom recently informed her that a cousin from overseas — whom she "barely" knows — and her two young kids are coming to stay for the entire summer. The two kids will be sleeping in the spare room in the basement — much to the OP's chagrin. For context, she explained on Reddit that her basement space contains her bedroom, the spare room, a living room area and a bathroom. "I don't even know the names of my cousin's kids at all, and I value my personal space and quiet. I also work night shifts, so when I come home in the morning to sleep, I don't want to be disturbed with any noise," she wrote, sharing some of her concerns about the arrangement. However, when she protested the plan, her mother called her "selfish." Adding to the OP's frustrations, she had been looking forward to having the house completely to herself "for once" when her sometimes "overbearing" mom and sister leave for a 10-day cruise next month. When she raised this point with her mom, her response was, "Well, now you won't be home alone." "I told her she made this decision without considering me at all and that I don't plan to host or entertain anyone while they're gone," the OP wrote, describing a previous instance when a cousin visited and her mom "pressured" her into giving that family member money to shop. "I'm afraid that history will repeat itself, but 3x as much since she's bringing her kids too." The OP said that instead of enjoying an empty house by herself, she is now "seriously considering" decamping to a hotel for the 10 days her mom and sister will be away on their cruise "just to have peace."

"It feels like my space and comfort were completely disregarded, and I don't want to give up my personal space," she concluded her post, asking fellow Redditors, "AITA [am I the a------] in this situation?" In the comments, many readers shared the opinion that the OP's mother has no right to tell her she must give up her private space in a home she co-owns. "You're being treated as if you're an adult living in a home that only belongs to the parent(s). That's not the case here: you co-own the home. Your expected personal space is literally your space; you own it," one person wrote. "So you have every right to expect your usual private space to remain private, and especially to decide who will and won't be in the house with you when the other owner isn't there." Someone else chimed in, "Your mom ignoring that you co-own the place is wild. She can't just override your boundaries because it's convenient for her, especially when you work nights and need quiet." Many people advised the OP against the idea of retreating to a hotel, arguing that she shouldn't have to leave her own home and waste her money. "Why should you be the one who's on the hook for 10 days of hotel expenses AND be the one whose space gets invaded?" a Redditor asked. Several others told the OP this sticky situation might be a strong sign that she should consider getting a place of her own to avoid such conflicts in the future. "It might be better for your mother and sister to buy you out since they are treating you like you neither own nor pay rent. Take your share and get your own place," one commenter suggested.
