Detroit Metal City Page #6

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.

- Saji-kun remembered what I said?

- I do, too.

You're the reason I started work

at this magazine, too.

Really?

Are you free on Saturday?

I'm playing solo here again.

Asato-san invited me out...

Asato-san?

To go to an amusement park.

It's kind of work-related...

Should I go?

I guess so...

Really?

You don't mind...

I get it. See ya.

Losing ground in music

to a junior from college.

Losing in love to a fashion icon.

Maybe I'll re-design this place.

Redo the ghost train in Chrome Hearts?

Wow... If you did,

they'd get more customers for sure.

Suppose so.

How come I'm such a loser?

Stalking her on a date.

Design a roller-coaster, even...

Damn, he's flirting with her.

Wonderful.

Upper-classman Aikawa?

Saji-kun, what's up?

Someone you know?

It's the indie band

I did the article about.

Nice to meet you.

We're Tetrapod Melon Tea.

Hun?

Damn.

Wait.

Please, wait.

Stop...

Upper-classman Negishi, wait.

I can't wait.

If she saw me stalking her

on a date,

there'd be trouble.

I'm sure he came in here...

God, this thing's hot.

Sorry, you're waiting?

It's okay.

Why so spooky, all of a sudden?

It's... Sir Krauser, right?

How do you know me?

Of course I do... I'm a musician, too.

I've always respected

DMC's unique sound.

Where did my friend go?

It's nearly time... I'm so nervous.

Why nervous?

I'm about to start a gig.

That kind of nervous...

Sing for me, then.

Sing and it'll calm your nerves.

Thank you for the advice.

I first met you in my dreams

We've been lovers ever since

It's not too bad at all.

I knew all along, Sally

That one day we'd meet

Nice tambourine work.

Let's slip away, Sally

It's only 7pm in Tokyo

Forget the time, come over, Sally

I'll be waiting here, Sally

Forget the time, come over, Sally

I'll be waiting here, Sally

Thank you very much.

Saji-kun,

Hurry, it's time.

Sorry.

Sir Krauser, you remind me

of a much-respected upper-classman.

I felt so relaxed with you.

I am the devil. Don't get too close.

As if anyone would have respect for me.

Saji-kun's succeeding in the world

of music like I wanted.

On the other hand...

There's me... dressed up like this...

Saji-kun's there!

I'm so envious of you, Saji-kun.

Isn't that Hidetaka Asato?

What a trendy couple.

Sorry to interrupt earlier.

Maybe I'll become your producer.

Isn't that great, Saji-kun?

I'm delighted.

- I'll get in touch.

- Please do.

- Let's go.

- See you, guys.

Mom, it's that weirdo again.

Quiet, dear.

Bastard.

How dare he?

It's Sir Krauser.

Like a couple of rutting pigs!

Sir Krauser, thanks for...

Nice tambourine work.

Cry as you like,

no-one can save you now.

Wait!

Fighters for justice,
