The S.W.O.R.D. Wields Its Might In A New Highlight Video For HiGH&LOW: THE MOVIE
At an off-and-on pace since late last year, I’ve been following the promotional campaign for director Shigeaki Kubo’s latest high-profile action J-drama, HiGH&LOW: The Story Of S.W.O.R.D.. The first season has already aired as of last October with the second season already underway with a cast largely comprised of ensemble J-pop supergroup, Exile Tribe for the story of a city split five ways between five gangs to make up the eponymous acronym you now see in the title.The movie is set in an aftermath of the sudden dispersal of a legendary town called “Mugen,” and recounts the story of the five organizations, who aims to take control in the said area. These five organizations are known as Sanno Association, White Rascals, Rude Boys, Onija High School and Daruma Hooligans.
The five gangs will put their pride on the line as all of them take part in a fierce battle for dominance. However, the plot takes a surprising twist when a mysterious group called “Mighty Warriors” suddenly appears.
