The past year has been an extraordinary one knowing that a company like LDH, Inc. exists. The HiGH&Low: The Story Of S.W.O.R.D. series has been, and continues to be something that fascinates me with the overall look, imagery and style of action that encompasses the story that follows the events surrounding a myriad of gangs at war with one another, and the music courtesy of the film’s stars a la members of Japanese supergroup, Exile Tribe.
It’s a saga that will no less continue to fascinate me until the availability of this show extends itself stateside, including director Kubo Shigeaki’s feature film follow-up in July, and this week’s forthcoming spin-off, Yamaguchi Yudai’s HiGH&LOW: The Red Rain, which focuses on the brothers who were intergral in the main story of the show in the first place. Front and center are actors Tosaka Hiroomi and Takahiro starring in the story of outlaws, the Amamiya Brothers, who set out to find out what happened to their older brother, portrayed by actor Saito Takumi.
The film opens this Friday while LDH continues onward with its merchandising efforts thereafter. Hopefully the rest of us won’t be left out before long. HiGH&LOW: The Red Rain has a second trailer now running and you can view it below.
