Detroit Metal City

Super hilarious movie!! Kenichi Matsuyama is really great in this movie.
Who can imagine he acted as "L" in Deathnote.
The acting was quite exaggerating, but I think it's all for good laugh.
Highly recommended..
Go see it and you will know why.

Synopsis from Golden Village:
Souichi Negishi (Kenichi Matsuyama) is a conservative and pure-minded boy. He leaves his countryside home to go to Tokyo with a dream of becoming a fancy pop singer. In a twist of fate, he is forced to debut as a member of the satanic Death Metal band "Detroit Metal City" (DMC), whose trademark is an eccentric make-up and destructive performance. Despite the intention of becoming a pop celebrity, he makes a triumphant debut as the Death Metal vocalist and the story hilariously describes the array of his woes until he finally faces off against the legendary and world-renowned Death Metal vocalist "Jack IL Dark" on the stage!

Additions to my handphone accessory collection

Sunday, March 22, 2009

Since my sis came back from Japan 2 yrs ago, my handphone accessory collection has been stagnant and has not been growing significantly.
I couldn't resist these 2 new additions to my collection.
I think I must have been stressed at work lately, that explains my impulsive buying.
