The Euro-electro-pop of Daft Punk is married to an epic sci-fi
story line in this ambitious anime project conceived by the band, Manga
legend Leiji Matsumoto, and director Kazuhisa Takenouchi. Interstella
5555: The 5tory of The 5ecret 5tar System involves the plight of
talented musicians from a neighboring galaxy who are brought to earth by
an evil corporation. Stripped of their immense talents, they are turned
into a band of emotionless, hit-churning automatons named The
Crescendolls. As they play arena after arena in increasingly glitzy
fashion, the plucky popsters fight to regain their identities to bring
the world the sort of tunes they know they can deliver. Told entirely
without dialogue, Interstella 5555 features Daft Punk's album Discovery
in its entirety.
