Detroit Metal City Page #3

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.

This is dedicated to a crap band

diss-ing women and obsessed with rape,

those loser, virgin, mama's boys, DMC!

We're just bunch of virgin, cherry boys

Getting make-up from our moms

Begging dad to buy us clothes

Crush 'em, crush 'em all

Crush 'em by the balls

Castrate 'em, castrate 'em all

Castrate 'em, castrate 'em all

Castrate 'em, castrate 'em all

Loser, virgin, mama's boys, DMC?

That's pretty good.

Don't laugh. It's about time to jump.

Jump? I wasn't told about that.

Jerk. The Boss arranged

to have us arrive in style.

I'm soooo grateful.

I won't go.

Shut up. Hurry.

Sir Krauser is dead!

No, he's not.

It's a castration-fantasy

extreme masochist routine!

...help me...

What an awesome guy...

Jack II Dark,

the legendary of American metal music,

has decided to retire.

The rumor has it...

Jack's retiring?

...the injury of 32 people

last year in Grand Canal,

is probably the reason of

Jack's decision to retire.

We would never know

the exact reason yet.

But, before his retirement,

He will go on a world tour,

to beat the all metal bands

in the world.

A world tour?

Since she saw me like that

I didn't dare call Aikawa-san.

She hasn't called me either.

Makes sense, after what she witnessed.

Right, Merci?

Don't you run, too.

What's wrong?

What a lovely song.

That's the first time

I saw you in my dream.

Since then, we became to be lovers.

Sally, we all know...

That's young Saji,

my lower-classman at university.

Aikawa-san.

Negishi-kun?

Don't get me wrong.

That... that was my landlady.

Your landlady?

Right. My really scary landlady.

If rent's late she always

bullies me like that.

Is that right?

Then I'm sorry I didn't help.

What a relief.

Right now, I'm doing magazine research

about this popular band,

Tetrapod Melon Tea.

Tetrapod Melon Tea?

Amazing that Saji-kun

came this far, huh?

He's so cute!!

This song, "Sally, My Love" is out

on our own CD label.

We're doing a gig soon.

Your own label... how cool.

- Please shake my hand.

- No problem.

They've got so many fans...

In my interview,

Saji-kun said his inspiration is

No Music, No Dream.

That's...

Unable to forget your words in college

he formed a band.

- 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,

"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.
