No Music, No Dream

Asy called (or messaged? i forgot) asking me if i want to tag along with him and shafiq to watch this japanese movie called "Detroit Metal City". Why this movie? Well these guys are japanese fanatics. They even understand and speak simple japanese at least. By simple i don't mean like "ari-ga-to" kind of thing. They speak, understand and even know how to read a bit of japanese. Since I'm also a fan of Japanese Rock and indie pop music, i said why not?

The movie was not bad. I think it was from a comic or something. It's about this soft, gentle boy (i would call him a gay-boy..lol) who moved to trendy tokyo in pursuit of becoming a trendy pop musician. Not knowing the ropes in the music industry, he sent his demo to an underground company which preaches on the same philosophy as he does which is, "No music, No dream" and ended up being the lead singer of a death metal band called "Detroit Metal City". He hated being in that band as it was totally the opposite of what he wanted to be in the music industry. He ended up singing about rape, murder and violence. The ironic thing is that he takes up a totally different identity when he is Krauser, the satanic death metal singer. He totally changes from this gay-boy to this death metal screaming singer. That to me is funny. The thought of being in the streets and having no one believe u are actually a death metal singer. Ok, actually the movie has no solid storyline but its enjoyable to watch. I'm not gonna tell u the whole story. U just have to watch it for yourself. I give it 3.5/5.
