The Gesuidouz
ザ・ゲスイドウズ
Nippon Visions ½
The punk band The Gesuidouz is stranded in rural Japan for a year due to a bad deal with their manager. But they slowly come to like it there, and between gigs in barns and field work, they compose their horror-inspired songs. Kenichi UGANA’s THE GESUIDOUZ is a loud and eccentric punk comedy about the search for the perfect sound and the value of friendship.
