Director Sion Sono has had some good fortune since becoming a hit late last year with his most recent live-action hip-hopera manga hit, Tokyo Tribe. He’s since gone on to direct his latest mature adult gangster adaptation, Shinjuku Swan『新宿スワン』which is currently gearing up for a theatrical release in Japan this May courtesy of Sony, and we now have a teaser that lends an eye to what we can expect, which no doubt includes some heartfelt drama and plenty of beatings and screaming to go around.
