Iden & Tity (Japan Version - English Subtitles)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Iden & Tity is a delightful musical fantasy based on a bestselling comic book by Jun Miura with a screenplay from Kudo Kankuro (Ping Pong). Actor/director Taguchi Tomorowo teamed up with former Going Steady member Mineta Kazunobu and Nakamura Shido (Be With You) to let viewers experience this nostalgic journey to the 80s rock scene. The tale revolves around the group Speed Way and its disillusioned front man Nakajima who tries to avoid writing lyrics according to pop clichés for the sake of providing instant hits. As a result, he is constantly quarreling with his record label which is interested in sales first, music second. It's during these lost times that he runs into a Bob Dylan lookalike God of Rock.

This version comes with a bonus disc containing making-of, extended live concert footage of Speed Way not shown in the original , interviews, and trailers plus more.

Discs are picture-labeled and provide English subtitles.

Anthem to non-conformism Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Directional debut by the legendary Tomorowo "Tetsuo" Taguchi, once member of punk/rock band " Bachikaburi", is a great tale about, as the title suggests, keeping your identity in a world where money and fame rules undisputed. Taguchi chose wisely to put a real rock player as Mineta Kazunobu (former member of "Going Steady") in leading role. The starring cast is overall pretty good though and their performance on stage (of which there is many additional footage on the extras of Japanese DVD) is great and engaging. This is a movie intended to be a real hymn to the essence of rock, metal or whatever, nonconformist music/thinking/speaking.

Metalheads, rebels: this movie is for you.
