Directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, with creative input from the iconic electronic duo Daft Punk and created in collaboration with legendary anime artist and creator Leiji Matsumoto, INTERSTELLA 5555 is a fusion of anime and electronic music, providing a visual realization of Daft Punk’s iconic album “Discovery”. There is no spoken dialogue in the film; instead, the entire story of an alien music band’s abduction by an evil human character with dark plans is told through the music of the album and the animated visuals — with every track from “Discovery” serving as the soundtrack. “Discovery,” Daft Punk’s second studio album, was released in 2001 and is one of their most acclaimed and iconic albums, featuring hits such as “One More Time” and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” It was pivotal in shaping Daft Punk's legacy as pioneers in the electronic music scene.
