Nanase (Suzu Hirose) wants nothing to do with the pharmaceutical company run by her father (Shinichi Tsutsumi),especially when they are working hard to invent a drug that restores youth. But the chemists there have also invented a drug that causes the user to die - for two days only. When her father "dies," and a rival company tries to take over in order to profit from the youth-restoring drug, Nanase must enlist the help of near-invisible employee Ghost (Ryo Yoshizawa) to save the day....
I didn't mention that Nanase's biggest interest, besides insulting her father, is singing in a death metal band, and this film is replete with concert scenes of her band, complete with totally inane/hilarious lyrics and devoted cult following; these elements play as important a part in the film as, well, the chemical elements that Nanase knows as well as her father does. Part comedy, part family drama, part musical, and wholly quirky, this is definitely a film to wake up the dead!

How To Wake the Dead
Lame
So lame.
NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is explained.
Not the pretext, not the 'science' and not the reason these things can happen.
The music says it is metal, but it is just a lame didley with a shorthaired girl belching (not growling) on top. The almond eyed girl is not even pretty so we can forget the 'story' and enjoy her body!!!
Great!
It's very entertaining. The funeral-concert scene is especially hilarious.
