sharksoul24flumpool's new song from the movie MW, has been stuck in my head for the last couple of days and also got me curious about the movie, which I found out is based on graphic novel by Osamu Tezuka. Now I don't really read graphic novels, but this one caught my attention and I ended up reading it, and also I'm not good at giving up summaries so this the info from Amazon.com:
"A secret U.S. chemical weapon called "MW" accidentally leaks and wipes out the population of a southern Japanese island. Though Michio Yuki survives, he emerges from the ordeal without a trace of conscience. MW is manga-god Osamu Tezuka's controversial testament to the Machiavellian character and features his most direct engagement of themes such as transvestism and homoeroticism.
MW is a chilling picaresque of evil. Steering clear of the supernatural as well as the cuddly designs and slapstick humor that enliven many of Tezuka's better-known works, MW explores a stark modern reality where neither drive nor secular justice seems to prevail. This willfully "anti-Tezuka" achievement from the master's own pen nevertheless pulsates with his unique genius."
I wasn't sure what to make of this when I started reading it, I had never read something by this author before or a graphic novel for that matter. For starters there was murder and kidnapping within the first to pages,and the violence didn't slow down troughout the book, It's a battle of good vs evil all the way to the end. Now I really want to see the movie, but I know the are going to leave some things out because because this book it's 600 pages long. And I'm also looking forward to watch the tv special with Takeruh Sato, which is supposed to be several months before the story in the novel.
Going back to flumpool now, it was a little hard to find the lyrics for this song, but I have subbed the video with kanji and romaji lyrics, so if anyone is interested I have not only the video, but also the lyrics to share.
