Far-out Japanese comedy drama. In the 1970s, a failing punk band record a song called 'Fish Story', stealing the title from a poorly translated novel, little knowing that their forgotten slice of genius will one day, 37 years in the future, be instrumental in saving the world from total destruction by a giant comet.
