Rock n Tokyo

Tokyo has several different levels of reality. You can find anything you can imagine there and at the same time get a new surprise at every corner. This film portrays that amazing city through rock ?n roll music. The Japanese love and understand rock, a kind of music and a way of life they discovered during the American occupation, after World War II. Even if japanese society still preaches uniformity and order, there is an important underground world, where people live more freely. And where you can meet amazing people. Like these 4 rock bands : Guitar Wolf, 3 good looking guys wearing black leather and sunglasses, a singer/guitar player with a devilish presence, a garage rock that is among the most intense and loudest ever heard and  surprisingly-  a contract with a big record company ; The 5678s, rock-a-billy queens with a wild 50s elegance who conquered the world with a memorable scene in Quentin Tarantino?s Kill Bill ; the Jet Boys, led by an extreme, crazy, borderless and exhibitionnist singer/guitar player ; Nine, young guys who believe in success by music - when I first met them, they played in front of Shinjuku station as if it was the last concert of their lives. The movie shows their music, but also their way of living, their style-totally faithfull to rock ?n roll- and their wanderings all around the incredible city that is Tokyo.
