Big Echo Unveils Unique Collaboration with Monaki
In an exciting move for karaoke enthusiasts, Big Echo, operated by Daibutsu Koshou Co, is set to launch its innovative collaboration with the popular four-member singing group Monaki starting on July 8, 2026. This collaboration marks the first time karaoke venues will feature dedicated rooms themed after a music group, offering fans a unique experience.
The collaboration will take place in two Big Echo locations: Ikebukuro Nishiguchi and Chayamachi, where specially designed Monaki-themed karaoke rooms will be set up. These rooms will be adorned with photos of the group and their logos, creating an immersive atmosphere for fans to enjoy.
Not only will participants have the chance to sing their favorite songs in this specially themed environment, but all 30 Big Echo venues will also sell exclusive Monaki-inspired drinks. These drinks will feature designs representing each group member, and for those who purchase these beverages, a limited-edition pop-up coaster will be provided. This initiative is aimed at fostering interaction among fans, or “Monakama,” as they come together to celebrate their favorite group.
Monaki, known for their dynamic and varied backgrounds—from former Super Sentai actors to ex-business professionals—made a significant impact after their debut in April. They quickly gained immense popularity, with their debut single exploding in views across social networks, boasting over 1.5 billion plays by June 29.
Big Echo's new collaboration seeks to enhance the satisfaction of existing fans and attract new ones, bolstering customer engagement through fun and themed activities. These rooms are designed to highlight Monaki's charm and vibrancy, with wall decorations, tabletops, doors, and corridors all featuring captivating imagery of the group.
Collaborative Drinks and Special Promotions
As a part of the collaboration, customers can enjoy four unique drinks inspired by the members of Monaki, each priced at 750 yen (including tax). The beverages include:
1. Jin Drink
2. Oyone Drink
3. Kenken Drink
4. Sakai Jr. Drink
Fans will also have access to an original pop-up coaster (with 10 different designs) that will be randomly distributed with the purchase of any collaborative beverage, making each visit for a drink a special occasion. Note that these coasters are available while supplies last, and in the event of a shortage, the sale of collaborative drinks may temporarily halt.
