Masao Adachi (足立正生 Adachi Masao, born May 13, 1939) is a Japanese screenwriter and director who was most active in the 1960s and 1970s.
He was born in Fukuoka Prefecture.
Best known for his writing collaborations with directors Kōji Wakamatsu and Nagisa Oshima, often under the pseudonyms "Izuru Deguchi" or "De Deguchi" (出口出), he also directed a number of his own films, usually dealing with left-wing political themes. He stopped making films in the early 1970s and joined the Japanese Red Army, an armed militant organization, to organise terror attacks. After residing in Lebanon for 28 years, he was arrested for passport violations. He was found guilty of passport violations in September 2001 and received a four-year sentence, suspended to 18 months. After his release he was deported to Japan via Jordan, where he was re-arrested on other passport violations. After being held for a year and a half he was convicted and released based on the time he had already served. Since his release, he has resumed making films after a 30-year absence.
I could die for staying alive
The sky is the limit for me
High life is on my mind
I want to stay in ecstasy
I had a wonderful time
I'm saved, I've seen the light
And I feel like I am healed
Baptized in steel
I am going to preach
Speed Metal
It's here to stay forever
The metal I inhale
Music, it makes me strong
And I will never ever fail
Going to be what I got to be
And I feel like I am healed
Baptized in steel
I am going to preach
