Soichi Negishi moved to Tokyo to chase his dream of becoming a musician playing stylish, Swedish-style pop. Although he hates the role and the things he has to do as a member of the band, he has a definite talent for it.

Adapted from the hit Japanese comic book by Kiminori Wakasugi, the movie follows Negishi's antics as he tries to reconcile the two very different sides of his life and find out what it really means to achieve his dream. Did you know Edit. Crazy credits After the closing credits, a brief scene shows what happens to Toshi after his brother's visit home.

Connections References Kung Fu Hustle User reviews 11 Review. Top review. And I felt the filmmakers nailed it squarely on the head with the casting of Ken'ichi Matsuyama, more famously known these days as the teen detective L from the Death Note series.

In that film he had disappeared behind a stoic and serious demeanour behind a lithe frame, being quite fleet-footed while snacking on sweet food. Here, Ken'ichi again disappears and in more challenging terms, being on opposite sides of the spectrum from the meek to the flamboyant, and if you're not impressed by his L, his turns here would impress as being a consummate character actor capable of fleshing out characters very convincingly.

If it's a chameleon actor you're looking for, look no further than Matsuyama. As Negishi, his mushroom cut hairstyle sported fits the character to a tee. A mild mannered sissy nerd, he shuffles his feet from his hometown village to the bright city of Tokyo in the hope of fulfilling his dream of being a trendy pop singer. You know, the one who belts out bubblegum pop tunes about first love and sweet kisses. He lives by the mantra of "No Music No Dream", and inspires his fellow peers to do the same and seize the day.

Just so to tell you he's still a straight character despite his effeminate ways, he's attracted to Aikawa Rosa Kato, who resembles a little like Aoi Miyazaki, who's starring in yet another similar music- based movie in Shonen Merikensack which I am looking forward to. Who wouldn't? But an unexpected opportunity to join a band, he soon finds himself manipulated by his female boss Yasuko Matsuyuki into becoming the frontman for the heavy metal band Detroit Metal City DMC as Johannes Krauser, the long haired, pale skinned singer from the depths of hell who sings raged filled songs and preaches satanism, hate, anger, murder and rape.

He garners a country-wide following filled with rabid groupies, and is more wildly successful as part of the engineered metal band, than trying to strike out on his own as a frivolous pop singer that's a dime a dozen. It's an excellent contrast of characters, but more so, an examination of self and the personas we adopt in different situations. It might even be a classic case of Schizophrenia for Negishi, because as Krauser, he's really good at what he does, and almost comes second nature as that sissy man who had found an avenue to unleash his pent up frustration and hit back at the whole world, and get adored for that as well.
