CGiii Comment

2 hours of frenetic nonsense...

2 singing stars (in Japan) turn their talents to acting...

Perhaps, they should have invested a little of their own money to raise the production values.

Or, more appropriately, they should have stuck to singing.

This mixed-up, mixed-genre, minor-piece is a frugal attempt at displaying talent.

The(ir) Blurb...

In the year 2014, Japan has collapsed economically and thus its people emigrated in large numbers and settled in other parts of the world. In a corner in Asia, there is a little street called Mallepa, a big melting pot where Asians such as Hongkongers, Taiwanese and Japanese live together. It was a place where people fought for order, food and freedom. It was there where Shou (Gackt), raised as an orphan and Kei (Hyde), who could live forever, met and became the best of friends.
