Shinichi Kawahara

A young man awakens in the hospital after an accident wipes his memory. Fascinated by a textbook full of drawings of dissections, Hiroshi is drawn to medical school. There he catches the eye of a fellow student, but it's another who becomes his obsession: the dead woman on the cadaver table.

When the son of an American man and a Japanese woman is killed in a car crash, the man transforms into a rageful metallic being thirsty of blood and vengeance.

A man awakes to find himself trapped in a dirty, confined crawlspace. He barely has enough room to move. He also has no memory of why he's there, or why he's bleeding from a stomach wound. Apparently drugged, he occasionally 'zones out' of his surroundings as he tries to edge towards his way to freedom. But the more he explores, the more pain he has to endure, and the more frightening his predicament becomes.

"The Law of Causality" documents a live perfomance at Shibuya O-NEST, which took place on May 26, 2004. Director of "Tetsuo The Iron Man" Shinya Tsukamoto's crew filmed the gig, which features all new material based around metal percussion and custom intsruments built by Chu Ishikawa.
