STORY DESCRIPTION
"Galaxy Express 999", known in Japanese as "Ginga Tetsudou 999", is an award-winning classic series created by Matsumoto Reiji, who is also famous for space opera classics like "Space Pirate Captain Harlock" (which is set in the same universe as "Galaxy Express 999") and "Space Battleship Yamato".
The story of "Galaxy Express 999" is set in a universe where humans have learnt to transfer their minds, but not their emotions, into mechanical bodies and achieve immortality. This has created a divide between those who are mechanised, elites with machine bodies, and those who aren’t.
Hoshino Tetsuro (Nakagawa Akinori) is a poor unmechanised human who desperately wants a machine body that would allow him to achieve immortality and the freedom offered only to the mechanised. Machine bodies are incredibly expensive, but they are supposedly given away for free in the Andromeda Galaxy, which is located at the end of the line for the Galaxy Express 999, a space train that only comes to Earth once a year.

DESCRIPTION OF COUNT MECHA / PRIDER (SATO RYUJI’S CHARACTER)
Count Mecha, also known in Japanese as "Kikai-hakushaku", is a mechanised wealthy nobleman who hunts unmechanised humans for sport. He murders Tetsuro's mother in one such hunt at the start of Tetsuro's journey, and is one of the antagonists in the series.
The musical also expands on Count Mecha's story, telling of his time as a normal human before he gained his mechanised body: when he was Prider, someone who was beloved by the people around him.
