A film by Sion Sono and one of the [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder half dozen of movies]] that he released in 2015. It's a [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent family-friendly]] movie that plays with elements of [[GenreBusting a whole lot of genres]].
! This movie provides examples of the following tropes:
* AuthorAppeal: Even in this film, the oppression of the individual in Japanese society is a centrale theme.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: One of the main themes of the movie.
* BlackComedy: Some of it in the first half. Most of the humor in the movie tends to be more light-hearted though.

* CharacterDevelopment: Ryoishi goes through a strong one, being an outsider in the first half of the movie and [[spoiler: a successful RockStar]] in the second half.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Ryoishi is an extreme example, constantly dreaming of becoming a RockStar.
* GenreShift: Several of them. It evolves from a tragicomedy to a rock star story while managing fantasy components along the way, making the whole movie a [[spoiler: full-on Christmas movie]] before adding [[spoiler: Kaiju elements]] to the mix. That's crazy ''even by Sono's standards''.

* Kaiju: Ryoishi names Pikadon after the Japanese word for atomic bomb, thinking of the turtle as a Kaiju. [[spoiler: It acutally evolves into one over the course of the movie.]]
* LighterAndSofter: Who would have thought Sono would make a family friendly movie?
* MoodWhiplash: There are several scenes that switch between funny, sad, lovely, and all at the same time.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The bummer is Santa Clause.]]
* RockOpera: The movie is kind of an example of this due to the involvement of some songs by Revolution Q and [[SoloSideProject Ryuishi’s solo project]], including the song after which the movie is named.
* SpiritualAntithesis: The movie to a lot of Sono’s other works which tend to be [[Film/GuiltyOfRomance disturbing]] [[Film/StrangeCircus and]] [[Film/ColdFish gory]].
