A small town punk band hires a mysterious bassist known only as Mr. Rooster, whom bandmate Mikio finds very unsettling - he frequently spaces out, but won't tell anyone why; elderly townspeople shower him in gratitude for "showing the way", but won't explain what that means; and just thinking about Mr. Rooster is physically exhausting. While recording, Mikio can't stay awake; he suspects paranormal activity involving Mr. Rooster. During a set, Mr. Rooster spaces out, and Mikio becomes drowsy; before he passes out, he sees Mr. Rooster inhaling a shadow. That evening, he confronts Mr. Rooster, accusing him of being an angel of death. Mr. Rooster tells him that those who witness what Mikio has must join the dead, then beckons a crowd of souls to take him to the other side; this scares Mikio into agreeing to keep Mr. Rooster's true identity a secret. Mr. Rooster then wakes him - they're back in the studio with the band. Mikio never ascertains whether his vision was real, nor does he try to learn anything more about Mr. Rooster. (Source: Wikipedia)
