"There's nothing like Jinsei being produced in Japanese cinema right now, whether by major studios or smaller indies." —Alicia Haddick, scrmbl.com
The hero (voiced by rapper ACE-COOL) of this epic animated film is called by a different name in each chapter of his life, becoming a J-pop idol, an outcast, a leader, and an oracle. Through a chance encounter with a transfer student, he trains to become pop star, beginning his search for self-identity and a journey toward greatness beyond superstardom in this century-long chronicle that spans past, present, and future.
