Description:
The plot of this odd mixture of sci-fi adventure and heavy metal rock isn't exactly thickening, but it's taking some curious twists. Former rock & roll star Oji Tanaka has somehow sunk into the life of an ordinary, embittered salaryman, with a wife, a son, and a tiny apartment. But he's also the secret weapon in an interstellar war: human-looking aliens use his music to trigger their Ultimate Weapon, the only defense in their arsenal that can destroy the ships of the invading aliens. Tanaka undergoes the rock equivalent of a crisis of faith when he discovers the beautiful agent Layla, who recruited him, is interested in his music only as a weapon and not as an aesthetic experience. He angrily smashes his guitar and walks out, leaving Layla's fleet virtually defenseless. Because of--or despite--the transparent plots of the lovely scientist Hamill, Tanaka is soon back, and playing even more furiously. Meanwhile, his increasingly shrewish wife worries that Tanaka's odd behavior will have social repercussions in the company dorm where they live. It all adds up to a very strange adventure series. Contains these episodes: 5. "These Are the Days," 6. "Walk Away," 7. "In Need." Rated 13 and up for nudity and occasional profanity. --Charles Solomon
