What's the link between swedish style pop and death metal music? Soichi Negishi!
Detroit Metal City is a 'showdown' between the innocent and nerdy Soichi and the costumed and grotesquely made-up "demon emperor" Johannes Krauser II. Wow, talk about split personality! Such different personalities on one person.
Kudos to Kenichi Matsuyama, who also appeared as L in the famous movie series - Death Note. Unbelievable performance! Watch DMC and you'll know what I mean. =)
