Is this a fantasy movie?

Do you know how expensive everything is in Japan?
You don't start over there when you're broke.
The only reason they made the movie, seems to me is they wanted to visit Japan one other people's dough.

Pretty sure the movie makers just listened to this song and said "damn what a good idea, let's do it"

How expensive things are in Japan usually depends on the exchange rate. The trailer depicts the band sleeping in capsule hotels, those are pretty cheap.

One of the guys also mentions going into debt. Anyway, you can live in Japan on the cheap just like anywhere in the world if you want to.
