NEWS: SION SONO'S TOKYO TRIBE RAPPED UP ON DVD


Sion Sono's crazy, colourful 'hip-hopera', pitting rival street tribes against each other in a futuristic urban war, is finally upon us. Shôta Sometani (Himizu, Lesson of Evil)) rap-narrates the movie, due out in selected cinemas in May and on DVD in the UK on June 15. 2015. We're running out of words to describe Sion Sono pictures so it's probably best if you check out the trailer yourself and make up your own minds. 

Sion Sono directs this Japanese sci-fi drama set in a futuristic Japan where Tokyo is controlled by 23 rival territorial gangs known as tribes. Wu-Ronz gang leader Mera (Ryôhei Suzuki) wants to take control of the city with the support of Lord Buppa (Riki Takeuchi) by initiating a turf war between the Wu-Ronz and the Musashino Saru. But when they mistakenly kill popular Musashino member Tera (Ryûta Satô), a bloody gang war threatens to erupt amongst all of the city's tribes.
