Cast: Ken'ichi Matsuyama, Yoshihiko Hosoda and Ryûji Akiyama 

Duration: 110 minutes

Detroit Metal City (DMC) is one of the movies that adapted from a Japanese comic. DMC is a movie which talks about music. The main character, Soichi Negishi came from a small village and moved to the capital of Japan (Tokyo) to fulfill his dream of studies and playing music in expertise way. When he arrived at Tokyo, many of them do not like his sense of music, therefore he always got ignore. He then applied a job as a band guitarist in the pub. In this moment, a person name Johannes Krauser II has born and the story begins.

The two identities, Soichi Negishi and also Johannes Krauser II were actually acted by one actor named (Ken'ichi Matsuyama). I was amazed by the way he acting. Because the two characters has extremely different characteristic in the movie and yet he brings out the character itself. The one who looks nerdy and sissy is Soichi Negishi, whereas the otherwho is fierce and rude is Johannes Krauser II. I love the way the way he plays this two identities, how the actor play with the emotion, attitude and action. He definitely brings out the character itself.

I like the story line of this movie because it is funny. The main character from a nerdy image change to the rude image and the main character play the two identities and express his emotions. Although people use a lot of foul language in the movie, but for me these are the things that the cast needs to bring out the characters.
