Since childhood, Mai and her friends have been inseparable. But lately, a strain is put on their friendship when Mai's romantic interests start getting in the way. However, before she can fix the problem, the girl is killed in a traffic accident. Distraught with her death, Mai's father - a scientist named Toshihiko Hitomi - uses his microchip research to bring her back to life through a computer. But trouble erupts when a large corporation sends thugs to retrieve Mai and the technology by any means necessary. Before they can snatch Mai, Dr Hitomi transfers her 'existence' to boyfriend Tooru's laptop, starting a desperate chase to keep her safe.

This SciFi pop actioner from prolific director Takashi Miike is based on a cult novel by Kozy Watanabe. It stars members of the Japanese girl singing group, Speed and the male hip-hop group, Da Pump. It is one of four films he directed in 1998, along with BLUES HARP, BIRD PEOPLE OF CHINA, and another quirky SciFi actioner FULL METAL YAKUZA. Despite Takashi Miike's solid reputation for violent Yakuza fare, he has occasionally dabbled in pop music most notably with N-GIRLS VS THE VAMPIRE and the hit television series IDOL X WARRIOR: MIRACLE TUNES.

 

A Japanese film; widescreen uncut (110 min.) version in DVD encoded for ALL REGION, playable on any American DVD machine; in Japanese language with removable English subtitles.

Violence: Viewer discretion is advised.
