David Lee Roth is sharing behind the scenes footage from the filming of his 2013 Japanese film short, “Tokyo Story.”
Written by Roth, the 4-minute film features the singer taking on a group of Japanese thugs in a card game who try to take advantage of "the American" who they think can't speak English.
The Tarrantino-style short stars Roth as an assassin and famous Sumo wrestler Konishiki as the card sharking villain.
Roth became a resident of Tokyo in 2012; he continues to maintain homes in New York City and Pasadena, California.
Reports indicate Van Halen are actively working on a new album, the follow-up to 2012’s “A Different Kind Of Truth.”
In a recent episode of The Roth Show, the singer revealed that he has been working on a secret Van Halen project.
“Doing some catching up here, a little bit of a scrapbook,” said the singer. “We’ve been doing a lot of travelling. [I’ve been] working on a great Van Halen project - can’t announce anything … or I’d have to come find you and swear you to secrecy.”
