Detroit metal city tokyo tower12/28/2023 Voiced by Yuto Nakano in the OVA, and portrayed by Yoshihiko Hosoda in the live-action movie. He would like to leave DMC to perform in a visual kei/ J-rock type band like X Japan, but just like the other members of the band, he fears their manager. Masayuki Wada ( 和田 真幸 Wada Masayuki ?): Plays the part of Alexander Jagi ( アレキサンダー・ジャギ Arekisandā Jagi ?), DMC's bassist and a ladies' man from Saitama.Voiced by Makoto Yasumura in the OVA, and portrayed by Ryuji Akiyama in the live-action movie. Perhaps the most dedicated in the group not even fire or venomous snakes will stop his drumming. Nishida plays the part of Camus ( カミュ Kamyu ?), DMC's drummer. An otaku he is a fan of the ecchi anime " Cameltoe Squadron Bloomer" (くいこみ戦隊ブルマちゃん Kuikomi Sentai Buruma-chan). Terumichi Nishida ( 西田 照道 Nishida Terumichi ?): Curry-loving, overweight pervert of few words.Voiced by Masami Nagasawa in the OVA, and portrayed by Rosa Kato in the live-action movie. She loves Negishi's calm nature and songs, but dislikes DMC's music and its vocalist Krauser, unaware that they're the same person. Yuri Aikawa ( 相川 由利 Aikawa Yuri ?): Negishi's friend from his college times and his main love interest.In the film, Kenichi Matsuyama portrays both roles. In the OVA, Daisuke Kishio voices Negishi, while Yuji Ueda voices Krauser. While performing as Krauser, Negishi proves to be a skilled guitarist, able to play just with his teeth. Even though Negishi despises Krauser so much, he can never resist the temptation of invoking his demonic ego every time he feels irritated. Ashamed of his true job, Negishi must cope with DMC's rising fame while keeping it a secret from friends and family. A calm and peaceful musician from Inukai, Ōita, he is a fan of Swedish pop and Shibuya-kei who is the exact opposite of his alter-ego Johannes Krauser II ( ヨハネ・クラウザーII世 Yohane Kurauzā Nisei ?), leader of the Death Metal band DMC (short for Detroit Metal City). Soichi Negishi ( 根岸 崇一 Negishi Sōichi ?): The main protagonist. As DMC's star rises, Negishi tries to satisfy both worlds, but he can't run from his physcho manager and his natural ability which conflicts with his dream. Negishi despises DMC and all that it stands for, but just as luck has it, he has an amaing natural talent for death metal. That is to say, the infamous Johannes Krauser II, who is rumored to be a terrorist demon from hell and to have killed and raped his parents. Dreams don't pay the bills, so he's ended up as the lead singer and lead guitarist of a death metal band called “Detroit Metal City.” On stage, he transforms to a completely different person. Highly recommended.Soichi Negishi is a gentle and soft-spoken young aspiring guitar player and singer who dreams of a career as a pop musician. Good enough to satisfy even the harshest doubters (i.e. Other than its excessively cheesy "showdown" scene at the end, this movie was perfect in every way. This film has the magic, there is no other way of explaining it. There were many stupid moments, but I found myself constantly laughing, even at dirty jokes. Matsuyuki Yasuko seemed totally out of place in a bad role, but she was absolutely hot. It is apparent a lot of effort was put into the SFX and production of this movie. However, the movie had the energy and its fast pace in addition to the interesting setting quickly drew me into the story. The theme for this movie is "Dream", and it is cheesy as it sounds, as expected of a anime-based movie. Personally, nothing was going right for this film, but it turned out to be one hell of a movie. I don't like death metal, I thought Matsuyama Kenichi is a weak actor who can only handle supporting roles, the main character reminded me of "Densha Otoko" who annoyed me very much, and they went overboard with the comedy.
