It's sad, but no matter what type of music it is, if it's attached to some intriguing visuals, I immediately like the music. So despite the fact this film appears to be loaded with the sort of old saccharine pop that the Japanese seem to specialize in for karaoke, I'm actually digging the tunes. Even the one that sounds suspiciously like an old Barry Manilow piece right at the end.
Anyways, the film is coming to DVD through
Synapse films (off of their website is another trailer for Katsuhito Ishii's PARTY 7, his follow-up to the cult hit SHARK SKIN MAN AND PEACH HIP GIRL that's also rather um, eye-catching.)
