Normally I'm not a major fan of musicals but when I hear the name Takashi Miike I can't resist. I'll have to check this one out later when I have some free time. Thanks for bringing this little nugget to the spotlight.

Hi Dale,

I wondered as I put this post together if this film was old news to you (knowing your fondness for the Anime genre.)

I found this movie to be quite the production that toyed quite often with going "over the top" but thanks only to surface tension, I suppose, this glass managed, in the end, to remain half full.

As I watched I could not help but draw many parallels with "Fawlty Towers" (in terms of hospitality absurdity.) The tag line for this movie says "Sound of Music Meets Dawn of the Dead" and I'm not so sure about that... I would think "Fawlty Towers Meets Little Shop of Horrors" might get you a bit closer to the experience.

It was not an easy one to find but I'm glad I did - I think any fan of Comedy Horror Musicals will treasure this nugget from The Land of the Rising Sun.
