‘Fish Story’ rocks the spacetime continuum

Here’s a plot that sort of defies normal explanation. In Yoshihiro Nakamura’s Fish Story, an unsuccessful punk band on the verge of breaking up records a song in 1975, one year before the debut of the Sex Pistols. The song isn’t initially a hit, but somehow it manages to transcend normal spacetime, affecting people across several time periods. In the original timeline Earth should have been destroyed in 2012, but because of the effects of the song that fate can be delayed or even completely avoided.

The song used in the film was produced by musician Kazuyoshi Saito in a collaboration with Kotaro Isaka, the author of the original novel on which the film is based. Check it out in the first teaser after the break.

Is it me or does that guitar riff sound a bit too much like New Rose by The Damned?

“Fish Story” will open in Japan in 2009.
