Fuckkkk, i missed getting tickets to see Daft Punk (and the rapture, kavinsky, etc) at the Sports Arena. Dayum. But in attempt to find out who was opening for them on tour we discovered their official website, which is fucking confusing. I got as far as seeing that they sell awesome, but equally confusing action figures and that they have a movie coming out called Electroma about themselves as Robots on a quest to become human.
Turns out the action figures come from a full-length japanime film called Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5system, set entirely to the music from the album Discovery.
The story follows the kidnapping of a blue-skinned alien band, who are then brain-washed and reborn as The Crescendolls. Stella is the bassist, Arpegius the guitarist, Baryl the drummer, and Octave the keyboardist/vox.
For rest of the plot read the wikisummary. To watch...look below:

"We did not choose to become robots. There was an accident in our studio. We were working on our sampler, and at exactly 9:09 a.m. on September 9, 1999, it exploded. When we regained consciousness, we discovered that we had become robots."
