Shiroh is a rock musical. It looks like filmed theater with some additional shots to justify the movie version. Now i didn’t really get what Shiroh was all about but looking at the trailer, it seems to be a christian, visual-rock opera.
Wait a second, i’d like to write that once more, a christian visual-rock opera. That’s the thing with fads in Japan they never really go away and the visual rock fad is still there lurking in the dark alleys of Tokyo waiting to jump on you again.
The movie is being released in (thank god) only one theater in Tokyo (and probably japan), namely cine quinto.
It’s a limited release since the dvd is going out in October. So it’s not really a straight to dvd release, but don’t be fooled, it’s a straight to dvd movie indeed.
And here’s the official site and the trailer.
