在《死亡筆記》系列憑L一角走紅國際的新一代男優松山研一,今回再與「死亡」結緣,卻不再做正義之師,而是突破型仔形象,首度以「牛蒡男」及「惡魔Band友」姿態亮相。根岸宗一(松山研一飾演)本來是一個夢想成為型格音樂人的大好青年,卻硬被唱片公司捧為惡魔系Death Metal Band的主音「Johannes Klauser 二世」。但命運弄人,如此悲劇式的安排,卻變成令人爆笑的喜劇。「Johannes Klauser 二世」的白臉邪魔形象大受歡迎,唱片更大賣特賣,DMC樂隊搖身一變成為備受注目的人氣樂隊,而根岸宗一從此踏上死亡金屬不歸路,以台上台下兩個身分過日子。負責演繹這角色兩個不同形象的松山,今次會再次展示其超凡演技。
