Guitar Wolf
In 1997, all three original members of Guitar Wolf appeared in the John Michael McCarthy's "The Sore Losers" in the role of the mysterious strangers alongside Memphis indie rock musician Jack Oblivian. McCarthy also directed the music video for their song "All Night De Buttobase!! (Roaring All Night!!)". In 2000, Guitar Wolf starred in the Japanese rock ‘n’ roll "zombie horror" movie, "Wild Zero", directed by Tetsuro Takeuchi. The band play themselves in as they take on crazed fans, zombies, and an alien invasion. Guitar Wolf are featured heavily in the movie's soundtrack. A sequel, tentatively titled: "Wild Zero 2: The Strongest Blood of Humanity", was announced in July 2019 when the film screened at the New York Museum of Art and Design as part of its Global Punk Film series, though no release date has been confirmed. The band has also appeared in the documentaries "Get Action!!" (2014, dir. Jun'ya Kondō), and "Garage Rockin' Craze" (2017, dir. Mario Cuzic), the former exploring another well-known Japanese garage rock band Guitar Wolf considered something of a rival, Teengenerate, and the latter exploring the formation and evolution of the Tokyo garage punk scene and its de facto founder, DJ Daddy-O-Nov. Both films feature interviews with Seiji and the latter features live footage as well. Seiji also has a cameo in the 2017 Australian mockumentary Top Knot Detective (2017, dir. Aaron McCann &amp; Dominic Pearce).
