Curiosità

The Legend of the Stardust Brothers, is a 1985 Japanese musical comedy film written, edited, and directed by Makoto Tezuka. It is based upon original music written by Haruo Chicada.

Production

The film is based on the 1980 concept album The Legend of The Stardust Brothers by musician Haruo Chicada. Chicada was inspired by the films Phantom of the Paradise and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and conceived of the album as the soundtrack for a non-existent musical film. Tezuka, with Chicada as producer, adapted the album into a film based upon the already written songs, as well as three new tracks based upon characters that Tezuka wrote.

The film was shot on Super 16mm, and blown up to 35mm for editing. The animated sequence was created by horror manga artist, Yōsuke Takahashi.

Jun Togawa, avant-garde pop singer and sister of Kyôko Togawa, makes a brief cameo as "Beautiful woman of Stardust car".
