Do you know “Sparks”?

　Do you know the rock band Sparks ? Born in Los Angeles, USA, his career has already spanned half a century, and he has consistently released 25 albums and toured Japan 9 times, including festivals. But how many rock fans would be able to answer the question, "What kind of band is Sparks?"

They are now suddenly attracting attention in Japan through the field of movies. First, the release of the new work `` Annette '' (21) by the genius Leos Carax, known for ``The Lovers on the Bridge' ' (1991). Sparks not only provided Carax with the original idea for the musical, but also provided all of the songs in the film and acted in the film. It is still fresh in my memory that he won the music award at this year's Cesar Awards.

Another movie, ``The Sparks Brothers'', the main character of this article, will be released in Japan. This is a documentary that traces Sparks' own career, but the director has also released masterpieces such as ` `Shaun of the Dead '' (2004), ` `Baby Driver '' (17), and `` Last Night in Soho '' (21).
