One never forgets that intro once you have heard it, so it would be a shame not to include it.

My anisong DJ friend spun the original Turkish version of the song after teasing the Kongming version at an event at a con in Jersey on Saturday. Baited us good, but it was still fun to furicopy to.

Anyone else think he looks a bit like the villain from Big Trouble in Little China?

I don't often go for live-action manga adaptations, but I could see this being fun. It's the kind of story I think is well-suited for it. Like it's a totally bonkers premise, but not the sort of bonkers that'll necessitate egregious quantities of CGI. And since all the characters in the story are adults, they can actually use experienced adult actors (as opposed to, for example, having to rely on young novice actors to star in a story about high schoolers.)

They dont but it makes a cameo appearance in episode 7 performed by the actual band.

Was a pretty good adaptation, visually it follows the anime adaptation quite closely (just the festival/crowd scenes being a lot smaller obviously) and adapts more of the manga than the anime (1-6 covers the anime run, 7-10 fresh manga material and a 3x7 minute spinoff series covering the rivalry between Jet Jacket and Azalea).
