Detroit Metal City Page #2

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.

and myself at the caf...

Devil Carved Signatures

Krauser at the event...

At the caf, I'm Krauser...

Damn, I'm totally confused!

Hey you pigs... Bare your lower halves

for the Demon King.

Sir Krauser!

Rape all women

Sell off all the female swine

I do it whenever I want to

I'm a raping machine; the Demon King

I gave birth to all evil

All evil bows down before me

the Demon King.

What a noise...

Wonder where Negishi-kun works?

Let's go.

Keep going, keep going.

Huh? That's Aikawa-san?

Why is she here?

I mustn't go that way.

My wig's slipping.

If she spots me, it's game-over.

I'm doomed... she'll hate me.

It'll be the end of everything.

Behold, a real pig's arse!

See that chick!

You're horrid!

Aikawa-san...

What the hell have I done?

Wasting our fateful reunion...

Life sucks...

It sucks...

I'm scared...

Avert your eyes.

It sucks, it sucks...

Hello?

Negishi-kun?

I'm glad your old number still works,

Something upset me so I left early.

Thanks for seeing me

despite your work.

It made me happy.

You haven't changed a bit.

If you'd like...

there's a store in Daikanyama

you'd love.

Shall we go?

In Daikanyama?

I'll go. Definitely.

I'd love to.

I didn't blow it.

Hooray!

Death Records

I saw it, Negishi.

First time a newspaper article

got me wet down there.

Violence to women

during autograph session.

Stuff of legend is just

what the band needs.

Well done for that.

I'm soooo grateful.

Another superb Negishi performance.

I was just trying to distract her...

Now the band's one step closer to Jack.

Who's Jack?

You play death metal

but you don't know Jack II Dark?

It's hot!

Jack II Dark,

the emperor of black metal,

a legend in American magazine.

He survives in the darkest time,

and the rest of time again,

through drugs, sexual brutality

and assault brutality.

His performances were

violent and death-related.

There are following fans like

so many moths to the flame.

Fuckingham Palace.

The King's anphant.

A smash of rest of youths,

who were tired of existing sound,

He changed

the world's metal music, forever.

When I was young,

his records turned me on to metal.

DMC's roots go back to him.

Who'd want their root

in a scary guy like that?

I want to eat bloomers.

Anyhow, it was great publicity.

Keep up the good work, making legends

churning out songs.

Certainly. Right, buddy?

Not me.

I want trendy music

that makes people dream...

Jesus Christ.

Don't be so full of yourself,

you bastard!

Krauser, get more crazy.

Give your body and soul

over to violence.

Don't hurt me.

Before long,

you'll out-do Jack

as a Monster of Metal.

Wait, Negishi...

Let him go.

This is the only life he has.

He just isn't aware of his genius yet.

Leave him to me.

It's so wonderful.

Before my very eyes,

the first time since joining DMC,

that trendy lifestyle

I'd almost given up on.

What's up?

Wait a minute...

I keep coming up with great phrases...

So you kept up the music after all.

Love does provide the energy

to create music, after all.

Sell off all the female swine

Let's just keep it secret, huh?

Yuri-chan, right?

I'm glad you came by again.

He's one of the greats

of the Tokyo trendy scene...

designer, Hidetaka Asato.

Honored to meet you...

This is a shirt you designed

exclusively for a magazine.

Is that right? It really suits you.

Praise... from the top.

This store you designed, it's lovely.

Really? I'm doing a jazz-bar next.

And a limited edition pastry

for convenience stores.

Try my drinkable rice-bowl.

Wow, you even create that?

Negishi-kun wants to be a musician.

I'm just starting out...

That's not true. He's really good.

Let's have a taste.

Sing in my performance space.

Great.

I haven't heard you for ages.

If Asato-san likes my music here...

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

into history, ya'

History

Kiva-san's special freestyle rap...

Rhyming fatso!

You say you're an "MC"?

I say you're more like an M&M.

I'll blow your fat-ass away.

Back from New York,

I'm the real deal.

You're a fake-up

behind make-up, ya' fker.

You're a larger Maharaja

no bull would ever charge 'ya.

Not a Bat phone, you got a Fat phone.

So far below me,

you might have to blow me.

Your gags make me gag.

Nice gag!

Sir Krauser's

Death Rap Rhymes win the day!
