Detroit Metal City Page #4

Synopsis: Soichi Negishi moved to Tokyo to chase his dream of becoming a musician playing stylish, Swedish-style pop. Instead, he finds himself leading the death metal band Detroit Metal City, or DMC, as the costumed and grotesquely made-up "demon emperor" Johannes Krauser II. 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.

maybe he'll become my producer

and I'll be on the road to success

with my beloved pop music!

I wrote this song thinking of

this lovely girl I know.

Please take a listen to

My Sweet Love.

I wake up one morning

You're baking a cheese tart...

This is kinda crap.

My sweet baby

My true love

- Negishi... is it?

- Yes.

If you're just being frivolous,

take it out on the street.

Frivolous?

Negishi-kun?

Goddamn it!

What does he mean "frivolous"?

Being trendy doesn't mean

he can criticize my music.

Maybe that's her.

Coming.

Hey, Negishi...

Boss?

I've come to change your life.

Shoes off, please. Shoes...

Hey! Sh*t!

Such a cramped place.

You shouldn't be short of cash.

Why the dogs?

Mick and Mack.

And I ask my friends

Not to smoke in here.

Hot!

To stifle that voice of dissent,

I'm going to school you

in death metal from the roots up.

Please don't.

I'll make tea, then please leave.

I'm grateful to you and all...

but death metal is just...

Is apple tea okay?

OH YES!

This is it.

Life is metal!

Boss, please stop!

F***!

Choosing this decor took me ages.

It's a text from Mom.

Son, are you well?

No news from you recently.

You must be busy at the flower shop.

Not my new designer shirt!

My alphabetized CD's...

Your boss at the flower shop

sounds like a kind person.

I bet you're still pursuing

your beloved dream of music.

Knowing you, looking trendy, too.

Please, don't hurt me.

Awful clothes, too.

Things must be tough in Tokyo.

Do try to find a nice girl.

Don't kill me. I'm still a virgin.

Aikawa-san?

Disgusting.

Just be the gentle boy I raised.

Take care of yourself.

From Mommy.

Sh*t...

How dare he...

Love doesn't provide the energy

to create music...

Animosity does...

and hatred...

Do I turn the other cheek?

This bitterness...

am I to put it aside?

Am I to disregard

my own wrath?

I shall punish you for your crimes

I'm a messenger from hell

I shall tear you limb-from-limb

Am I to put aside my wrath?

Am I to put aside my wrath?

I shall tear you limb-from-limb

Am I to put aside my wrath?

He did it.

Put Aside My Wrath?

Why no DMC straw dolls?

Sold out. We're waiting on more.

Why don't you have 'em?

You'll wish you were never born.

Their 3rd single "Put Aside My Wrath?"

on sale today.

An evil influence

not for the ears of children

And so, totally contrary to my wishes

DMC was thrust

increasingly into the spotlight.

No.3:
"Put Aside My Wrath?" - DMC

Gross.

Japan's music scene

was abuzz with DMC.

Before we knew it, we were part of

the "Warring Indie Bands" event.

Yo, check it, Shibuya.

They call me Kiva

I'm like the divine Shiva

An MC back from NYC

I'm gonna make this DMC hysteria
