Notes
Arata Iura plays the part of a tired cannabis dealer Sota. With a naive red Mohawk and full-body tattoos, Ryo Narita plays the role of a young musician with a mysterious past. It's a story of violence, love, and fantasy depicting the love and friendship between these two damaged men as they try to take over new territory. Director Kanata Okami is a unique creator who drafted the script for “NAGURIMONO,” starring Hiroshi Tamaki, along with “Bloody Snake Under the Sun,” while also working as a creative director, in music, and as the leader of the transnational hip hop group TOM YUM SAMURAI. He also presently owns an apartment building (formerly restaurants), the massive Michikusa Apartments art building near the Kuromon Market area in Osaka, which served as a location for the film. This is his debut work as a director, for which he also wrote a novel of the same title.
