Detroit Metal City (live action)
Negishi Souichi leaves his family's farm in Oita Prefecture for the bright lights of Tokyo. There he swaps his taste in music from Swedish pop for the totally out-of-character death metal, taking on the role of vocalist in a metal band called 'Death Metal City' and adopting the stage name: Johannes Krauser II.

Detroit Metal City (TV)
Having moved from a rural part of Japan to attend a college in Tokyo, a shy and reserved Sōichi Negishi somehow gets caught up in the indie music scene. He ends up joining a (Kiss-like) metal band named "Detroit Metal City," under the stage name of "Johannes Krauser II.". He quickly proves his worth as the lead singer and a songwriter, but whenever he dons the Krauser costume, he becomes a completely different person – a loud vulgar monster yelling insulting profanities beyond anyone's imagination. As the popularity of DMC begins to rise, Negishi begins to worry about the mean-spirited Krauser personality and how it might affect his off-stage chances at romance.
