The movie that is based on a popular manga by Kiminori Wakasugi has so far crossed over ¥2 billion at the Japanese box office in just three weeks.
"Detroit Metal City" stars Kenichi Matsuyama (Death Note) as a mild-mannered street musician with a taste for Swedish pop, but whose alter ego is the intense death metal vocalist Johannes Klauser II.
It should also be noted that "Metal City" also stars bass player and vocalist, Gene Simmons, from the legendary rock band KISS, whos song "Detroit Rock City", was the inspiration for the title of the original manga. This, of course, is not too surprising due to the bands huge cult following in Japan since the band first formed in the early 1970s'.
Just see the original before the despicable US cinema machine massacres this gem! Dan the Man in San Fran
