Detroit Metal City Page #7

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.

"Victory Three" will save the day.

Shall we watch the monster show?

Monster show?

Just sit.

Hey, Yuri-chan...

Will you be my girlfriend?

I'm sorry, Asato-san...

Don't tell me you prefer

that Negishi jerk?

With my producer skills,

I'd soon make you forget that hick.

Victor Three are so strong!

Who's that guy?

Where are they?

Wow, he looks really tough.

Why is Sir Krauser here?

Help, Red Hero!

I work part-time here

so I can go to all DMC's concerts.

Did my fervor,

summon him from the depths of hell?

I'll take him down.

Red hero's gonna help him.

Don't you touch him.

Or I'll tear you apart!

Help!

You bastard...

What's up with this? Let's go.

Wait right there.

Hey, that's taking frivolous too far.

Frivolous?

There it is!

The Headbanger's Headbutt!

For Chrissakes!

Behind your make-up and costume

you're just a weakling.

With your horrid songs about

rape and killing.

Just a coward whining about

his frustrations with the world.

Music is about giving people

the power to dream.

The love of my life once told me that.

Without music, there's no dream.

How come you only sing

those kind of songs?

I never wanted this...

I had dreams of my own...

Stop...

Stop!

Negishi-kun?

Goodbye to my dreams...

Goodbye to DMC.

Jack II Dark,

has finally decided to retire.

And he's now on the road.

The world-wide tour is titled:

World's Collapse

Are you really wanting to

retire after this tour?

Knocking down

all metal bands is your focus,

what is your rival?

Jack, is it Hell Davi in Norway?

Or Porwason in France?

The Detroit Metal City.

How come??

His rumored return to

the underworld is true.

Sir Krauser...

Personal matters dictate

that I must resign.

Please don't look for me. Negishi.

F***

Excuse me?

You're the landlady, right?

Well...

Please tell me where he went.

I haven't heard from him.

Where on earth is he?

As if I know.

He abandoned his dream and fled.

Abandoned his dream?

He was a genius.

He could've been a hero

if he'd accepted his talent.

A hero has a mission...

to give people the power to dream.

Despite that...

...the f***ing fool fled.

I'm home, Shigemi.

Be... be...

You've grown so much.

Shigemi... I'm back for good.

That whole dream of music

was never going to work.

My dear boy...

Mother.

It's a surprise to have you back

out of the blue.

Why are you wearing that?

What's wrong?

I bet you've been worried...

Let's talk later. Hurry indoors.

That shirt's only for sale

at our gigs or online...

Why?

What on earth's going on?

What's that sound I know so well?

You old goat!

How dare you wear my DMC shirt

out in the damn yard?

Take it off before you stretch it.
