Underwater Love

In the film's lore, Kappo are underwater reincarnated spirits who love cucumbers.  One particular Kappo wants to save a girl he loved in life from her own early death.  A German-funded Japanese pinku musical ensues.  It was actually much tamer in those ways than I expected, and was otherwise pretty fantastic.  It's another excellent film from the director of Uncle's Paradise.  The song lyrics are worth it alone.
