I am now in Kita Ward, Tokyo at an apartment house called "Family House."

People of Japanese origin, from Brazil and Peru...

...constitute a small community here.

Approximately 150,000 such people are now working in Japan.

But, with the recent recession, decent jobs are hard to find.

l was born in the north of lbaragi Prefecture.

When 5 years old my family and l immigrate to Brazil.

And in 1989, in order to find work, I return to Japan.

Since childhood...

How do I say? I admire Japan.

I think Japan as my homeland.

I leave Japan when lam child. So I feel lam Brazilian.

That is also part of me.

People from South America have these problems.

We try to get an apartment, but they don't want to rent to us.

So, some of us must live in company dorms.

We have trouble at work, too.

They don't like Brazilians very much.

They say we are thieves.

They say we are stupid.

They really do.

Man from Peru coming work in Japan...

...in accident...

...his foot is crushed.

Company says...

"We take care of you, so you must work with no pay for just over one year."

That's not right.

I arrived this Monday.

It's not even a week yet.

So I don't know anything about Japan.

I came with my daughter. She wanted to come.

What I always say is "I'm same as you Japanese".

My status here is same as you Japanese.

My name, too. It's a Japanese name.

Like our fathers and grandfathers who were chased out of Japan...

They emigrated to South America to find work.

Life was hard for them.

My father went to fight in war. He fight in Philippines.

After war, in Japan, he could not find any good job.

And for us he became immigrant.

He have that feeling.

That's why I feel appreciation for him.

My mother in Japan in 1960s when it is Beatles age...

She say nobody in Japan have long hair like this!

I say, Mother, you know nothing.

Nothing.

Japan is now different.

Japan becoming like America.

She say she can't believe it.

Japanese immigrant feel same as old-time Japanese.

They retain these ideas. So many like that.

This film was shot in April-May, 1994.

A time when Japanese politics became chaotic.

Do you have any objections to the report?

Even if it was a personal transaction, what's wrong with that?

Japan has 150,000 foreign laborers of Japanese origin...

...90,000 Yakuza gangsters...

...and politicians who distort historical facts.

Rare as it may be, the paths of these three groups do sometimes cross.

KAMIKAZE TAXI

Beautiful day, but where is he?

What the fuck is this?

We're frying our balls here!

Are you sure?

Where are they now?

Tatsuo, where are we?

15th hole.

We're at the 15th tee.

Huh?

Okay. We'll be there.

They're on the 6th hole.

Let's go.

Gimme 15 seconds.

You really enjoy pissing, don't you?

Huh?

Helluva cock, that is.

Good color, shiny, too.

Basted in super-pussyjuice?

Bit of a dog-leg to the right.

Yeah, good for slicing.

Oh no, not again!

When you're my caddie, I always hit wild.

Good morning, Senator Domon.

Don't need any women today.

I'm here about my replacement.

Really?

Forget about the ball. I'll hit another one.

Can you see the Prime Minister down there?

Put my ball near him.

The cart.

Move the cart.

Yes, sir.

I told you. No women today.

I'll introduce my replacement.

Yes. You mentioned that.

l have been promoted in the Family, sir.

My subordinate, Tatsuo Minami, will procure for you from now on.

All right. He's young and handsome enough.

Probably has a better girls than you.

He certainly does, sir.

That's why the Don chose him to replace me.

Speak.

lam Tatsuo Minami.

At your service, sir.

Sounds Korean, I hope you're a full-blood Japanese.

Sir?

Learn what my tastes are.

He has been told, sir.

Ready, sir.

Very good.

Let's go.

Good, huh?

Say the routine.

I'll pull it out.

No, don't!

I'll kill you, if you do.

Please, sir...

...don't pull it out.

Please, sir.

Say it.

Please...

Where's the "sir?"

Sir.

Senator Domon.

Senator Do-morn.

No, it's Domon.

Senator Domon.

Right here.

These trees are growing too much.

You have to make sure they go well with the other trees.

That's your job.

I'm sorry sir. I will call...

I'm not finished yet.

This part too.

Here.

This part is dirty. It is impolite for my guests.

Renko.

You should take a shower.

Not yet.

I'm gonna make an appointment.

What?

What are you talking about?

I know. It's the one that burns your skin, isn't it?

No, it's an appointment with Domon.

Okay.

Two girls, OK?

But he likes bondage sex...

Bring someone who is tough.

It's pretty dangerous, you know?

Think how old he is!

It's like child's play.

It won't hurt. It's gonna make you feel itchy.

He is so dark.

That's because he is a politician.

You should cheer him up with your pussy...

...and turn him into a cool pervert.

I wonder why.

I get all wet just looking at you.

Juicy wet?

Very, very wet.

Is your cunt all slippery?

Slippery cunt and wet cock.

Sell your ass the right way.

Thinking about where you'd be by next year...

Made my mind go blank.

Tomorrow is another day...

Look, I'm already 26.

I can't do this forever.

That's why...

I'll introduce you to big-shots.

Hook a rich guy ready to croak.

What if I can't?

Go back to your hometown and marry a landowner's son.

Why a landowner's son?

Okay, maybe a Shinto priest.

That'd be a big laugh, wouldn't it?

Can't I stay with you?

What?

You mean get married?

No, not that.

I'll be like that old bag in "Rebecca."

I'll be mean to your wife.

Sounds like fun.

Let's be partners.

Yeah, sure.

How do you like her?

What's your name?

Tama.

Sounds like a cat.

I got it from a cat.

It's a bit big, but it's cool.

She ain't poxed?

Guaranteed.

All my recruits have had check-ups.

She fucks foreigners.

What's wrong with that?

He'd be pissed if he found out.

How come?

You know, Domon's old-fashioned.

I don't get it.

Hey, you passed the gate.

We go through the back gate.

Take it easy.

Ever since I was born...

...women have taken care of me.

Mom did for the first 4 or 5 years.

Now that I'm over 20...

Maybe it's time I take care of a girl.

Hey, it's about time.

Because I feel like that, I can't act like a Yakuza.

I see the Don, Animaru and Mr. lshida treat women like objects.

They fuck them.

They fuck them as many times as they can and abandon them.

We bring girls from Thailand and the Philippines, even though...

...we know that some of them are HIV positive.

We make them work as much as they can...

...bring them to a mountain and dump them there.

I don't care if the person is Thai or a woman.

I think the person is my co-worker.

But people discriminate like we did during world war II.

"Don't give me this fucking shit."

"Who the fuck do you think you are?"

That's what I think.

It should be fine if the blood stops.

You should have X-ray taken to make sure your bone is not broken.

I don't think it's broken but...

No baths for a few days.

Stay away from booze, too.

And don't sleep tonight.

Your face'll fall apart.

No screwing for a week.

Even then, stick to the missionary position.

Tatsuo.

Mr. Domon went berserk again.

Did the walnut thing.

He pays extra for it.

She's a strange bitch.

She doesn't cry, or scream with pain.

He shouldn't fuck with me.

Go get Domon!

I said go get him!

Bring the scumbag here.

Don't fuck with me!

I'll show him.

Look what he did to Tama.

Get him here!

What do you think we are? We're human beings.

Are you listening?

Say something.

Say something!

Bring Domon here!

Go get that scumbag. Bring him here!

I'm sorry.

Let me talk to her.

You stay out of it!

I've had enough. I'm sick of that scumbag!

Frigging Senator Domon! He'll pay for this.

Do it.

This is your fault.

You gotta educate them.

Whoever heard of whore carrying on like this?

No more bullshit.

You fuck-up.

Feel any better?

I feel like shit.

We dumped the body.

Dumped? How?

Like we always do.

Did you burn it?

I gotta go.

Everything's under control.

Yeah, I almost forgot.

She's got nowhere to go.

Let her stay here a while.

The topic of "military comfort women" has become a big issue.

Whether it was a state-sponsored crime, or not.

You women born in the post-war era...

...have joined with the sensationalist mass-media...

...to transform it into a sex crime.

What do you mean "transform?"

The "comfort women" issue is not only a state-sponsored crime...

...it's a sex-crime perpetrated by men.

I'm still speaking. If you have anything to say, wait till I finish.

How can you stand looking at him?

It's quite informative.

Informative? How?

In many ways.

He paid you solace?

$3,000.00

Is that all?

No wonder Renko was mad.

I'm sorry.

I'll give you 50%.

What do you mean?

Your management fee.

I don't want it.

Japanese comfort women were soldiers.

But foreign women eagerly joined to make money.

Can I borrow some clothes?

He seems to enjoy bullying people.

Renko was killed because of him.

Wasn't she?

I guess so.

She was alive yesterday. Incredible.

Don't you have any feelings at all?

I'm sorry.

You sure don't look it.

You can hit me.

Why should I hit you?

I wanna smack that scumbag.

More than 40 years after the war.

It's not easy to collect files and other evidence...

What about Mr. Animaru?

What you say will certainly make waves overseas.

You Japanese politicians appear totally unaware of Japan's...

...obligations to the international community.

Your words serve to isolate Japan from the rest of world.

Post-war women have earned their current status.

I must disagree.

No. Continue.

He doesn't like banks.

Bullshit. They finance his type.

But he has a big stash.

Where?

In the house?

In a big pot.

You're kidding.

Simply put, if you didn't make so much noise...

...both sides would have reached an agreement by now.

The men controlling Japanese politics couldn't cope...

...that's why this impasse.

Senator Domon, you sound as if we should stay in the kitchen.

Precisely.

In my opinion, our problems today, are all caused by career women.

But many political big-shots hide stash money like that.

How did you find out?

When I groaned with pain he got upset.

As I lay bleeding and groaning...

...he went over to a big pot in the bedroom.

He took out a wad and said "This'll shut you up."

Seeing the money didn't stop the bleeding.

How much was there?

One or two million dollars.

And he only gave you $3000?

He's a cheapskate.

Nonsense!

l was a Kamikaze pilot.

My comrades all died. Only I survived.

I will not allow their noble sacrifice to be condemned as naked aggression.

If you maintain the lie that it was a noble and just war...

...they will never rest in peace.

How dare you say that to me?

Get that?

Don't shoot that.

Hey you!

You're suppose to be working. Go to it!

Roll up folks and watch the fireworks!

Tatsuo!

Hit the Yakuza. Big fireworks.

Armed robbery!

They killed my girl!

Is this the place?

Tokyo's too hot. They hide 'em here.

Must be snakes here.

Sure. Heaps of 'em.

This place stinks!

Don't push. Keep it down.

Nobody's here.

Just some goblins.

It's filthy, man.

Here they are.

Feel the weight.

Lemme look.

Tatsuo.

Stealing guns from the Mob?

That's deadly.

I know that.

Don't play with it.

But don't worry.

We're only borrowing them.

Just one night?

Yeah.

I want you all to listen carefully.

We come back here after we finish the job.

We put the guns back.

Then we split the money.

What are you doing here?

Tats u !

Huh?

What about the clothes?

What?

What are we going to wear?

I don't know.

The clothes are not the most important thing.

We haven't had fireworks in two years.

What do you wanna wear?

Nothing specific.

What do you want to wear?

I wanted to discuss it...

How about T-shirt and jeans?

That's tacky, forget that.

We should be unified by wearing black clothes.

Why?

Why don't you like black? Then what color do you want?

He came to my house a day before yesterday.

What? What did he do?

Oh, I need a massage.

What happened?

Oh, no, I can't say this.

Maybe later, I'll tell you.

We need to discuss what we are going to wear.

Maybe we all should wear black suits.

Suits?

It's hard to move in a suit.

All right, all right.

Suits sound good.

They do, don't they?

Suits sound cool.

All right, we're gonna wear suits, but...

Do you really understand what we are going to do?

Yeah, we do.

The important thing is not just the clothes.

But this is the first fireworks for us in two years.

We are too old to hang out like this.

If they catch us...

...they're gonna cut our penises off.

That's why we should take this seriously.

I understand that, but...

We've gotta hide our faces well, too.

Of course, I agree with that.

So what should we do?

We should have masks or something like that.

You can't just hide your mouth.

We need to hide our eyes too.

Of course.

Don't be a smart ass.

You just complain.

I'm not complaining...

Hey, Tatsu.

It hurts if your penis gets cut off, doesn't it?

We are finished talking about that.

And now we're talking about what we should do about it.

You...

Shut up!

Don't play with that.

One more thing.

We can wear suits if we want.

To hide our faces is important, too.

But that's not all...

Never use our real names.

Really?

Of course not.

We're robbing his buddies.

They'd soon wake up.

Use aliases.

From now on I'm not Tatsuo.

What?

I'm "L ove."

We never use real names anyway.

No. No. No.

He's Tero.

No way.

We call him "Friendship."

Me? Friendship? You must be kidding.

"Courage".

"Truth".

"Sincerity".

"Violence".

How come?

It's perfect. Right?

Remember your aliases.

He's Violence...

...but Love and Violence?

It's hard to say.

Love, Friendship, Courage, Truth, Sincerity and Violence.

It won't work.

How about we use numbers?

Morons.

You don't get my point.

It's not just an armed robbery.

It's an act of love, friendship, courage, truth, sincerity and violence.

You gotta be kidding.

It's stupid.

This ain't TV, man.

What did I push?

I wasn't watching.

Is the combination changed?

I gotta pee.

Not now, man.

It's open, Tatsuo!

Don't forget the bag.

Gong, you keep watch.

That's Kamoichi's job...

No more names!

Use the aliases!

What's your name again?

Don't call me Tatsu, I'm "Love!"

Watch the pond there.

Yeah, I found it.

Who are you? Stop there!

Don't move.

Sit down, damn it.

Hey, where are you?

Friendship! Friendship!

There's one missing!

Find him.

Find the fucker!

Find him.

He's asleep.

Get the money.

Good morning, I am now reporting live from dickhead Domon's bedroom.

Sincerity!

Come. Give me a hand.

Find that other dude!

Where is he?

Where?

Find him!

Where is he? The other one.

Find him.

Hey!

I'll fucking waste you!

Hands behind your head!

Your hands! Do it!

Now!

Out.

Get the fuck out!

I ain't finished.

I'll slice you.

Watch you don't cut yourself.

Wipe your fucking ass!

Find the other one!

What's up?

Don't point it at me. It's me, me!

What's with you?

He's taking a crap. He won't come out.

Who won't?

The bodyguard! Damn!

I took a shot at him.

Don't move, asshole!

I'll shoot.

Lock them in the shithouse. Bring 'em all in here!

Move it!

Hurry up!

Move.

Get in there.

Does it lock?

We did it!

The guns. Gather up the guns.

Money!

Stop it!

Does it hurt?

No! Throw some more!

I did it!

lfucking-well-did it!

Stay right there.

Bite this.

Bite it?

It'll hurt. So bite hard.

Get up. 'Morning boys.

Rise and shine.

Early birds, lots of worms.

Face this way.

On your knees.

What got into you assholes?

How many Tokyo punks rent 6 tuxes at one time? Stupid fuckwits!

Apologies ain't gonna help.

Mr. Domon is livid.

He wants Tatsuo's nose, ears and dick in a bag.

You guys, we just slaughter.

Tatsuo, you really amaze me.

That was a very nasty scam.

l was so scared in front of Mr. Domon, I almost shit blood.

You have more guts than me?

Is your dick bigger than mine?

You were on probation with the Mob.

You're not a made man.

I had plans for you, kid.

I had lshida treat you well, right?

You sure did, sir.

Why did you do it?

Don't you know?

Really?

He just said he didn't.

I want you all to meet Mr. Chidori.

He is, as you all know, Domon's bodyguard.

Greet him.

How do you do, sir.

Can't hear you!

How do you do, sir.

Mr. Chidori has particular interest in one of you.

He wants to test you. Like an audition.

You'll each say, "Wipe your fucking ass!"

Wipe your fucking ass!

Next.

Wipe your fucking ass!

Next.

Wipe your a-anus...

It's not "anus." It's ass!

...your fucking ass.

OK.

Wipe your fucking ass, please!

Wipe your fucking ass!

You come with me.

Please don't.

I beg you.

Now let's see you march. Knees up high.

One, two, one, two...

Bang 'em down hard!

Forward, march!

You go first.

Okay, in single file.

l have a medical condition.

Doctor only lets me kill 4 people a day.

Four's my limit.

One's already dead. One's almost dead.

Tatsuo will be ground up into dog food.

That means some of you get a chance to live.

Arms around shoulders.

Good. Keep that position.

Don't shoot yet.

One bullet each.

Double Russian roulette, okay?

Not yet. Wait for my signal.

Now.

Freeze!

Don't move.

Gong!

Tatsuo!

Get the guns and the money!

Don't move.

Don't move, asshole!

Run for it. Quick!

Get the guns and the money!

Tatsu! Tatsu!

Shit.

Asshole! You spoilt my aim.

Sorry, sir.

What's with you?

This damn root.

I don't believe it.

A soccer field.

My ears are ringing.

My knees are failing.

You're still walking.

It's weird. My back feels all hot.

I think I'm hit.

You're kidding.

What?

How does it look?

It looks bad.

So you end up with all the money.

We'll do it together.

Forget it. You go alone.

I can't let you die here.

There's the goal post. It's a great place for me to die.

I used to be a goalie. You remember?

Any last testament?

Last testament?

A message to the living.

No way.

Like what I should do.

You should go abroad. Catch a plane.

I can't.

Why not?

They'll be watching the airports.

I can't get away.

Animaru is well connected.

Are you sure?

Got the money but no escape.

What would you do?

Me?

Lemme see...

Party at a hot spring resort.

Like an old man?

I won't live to be old.

Call in some whores, lots of good food. Line up the broads.

About a 100?

A few too many.

View cherry blossoms from the hotel window.

I'd want virgins.

Not me.

I'd fuck till my balls gave out.

And after that, what would we do?

After that?

Maybe go see my dad.

Suppose we had won the high school pennant.

We could be playing as pros in the professional soccer league.

Maybe even the national team trying for the World Cup.

I'll call an ambulance.

It's too late.

You're still talking.

Listen, Tatsuo...

Do the Kamikaze fireworks.

Kamikaze fireworks?

Go out with a bang.

That's my last testament.

Okay?

I sure will.

Get Animaru, Chidori, too.

All those grinning goons.

And especially Domon.

Ah...

Here it comes.

Waste 'em all, right?

Right.

It won't be easy.

I feel it coming again...

That was lucky.

To Satte, please.

What? A rookie driver?

I don't know Satte.

Can't you read a map?

Map no, I cannot read.

Did you come here from South America?

Yes.

Right, you were eating at the Brazil Diner.

From Brazil?

No, from Peru. I'm Peruvian.

I know Peru.

President Fujimori's country.

Seems he's having a hard time.

Sorry, sir.

Tatsuo got away.

The other one's dead. Here's the body.

I'll tell him, sir.

He won't get far.

We'll get him in a few days.

ls Mr. Domon angry?

Not really.

You're a loan shark, right?

Yeah, so what?

He said the money is a loan at your highest rate.

Loan? To Tatsuo?

No, to you.

He refuses to settle for anything less.

Just the money, with interest, and Tatsuo's body.

If I work 2 years, I have good life there.

Is your wife from Peru?

No wife?

She left you?

Passed away, has she?

Passed away?

It means dead.

Yes, that's right.

You have children, do you?

One?

Damn. It's too narrow to pass.

Don't.

They're in the wrong.

Haven't you got have any balls?

Fujimori would never back up!

No need for this. God damn it.

Assholes! You fuck-ups!

It's one-way! You blind fuck-rat!

Big car, little dick!

Stupid jerks. Assholes!

Stop over there.

I'll walk the rest.

Here?

They're getting out.

They're Yakuza! Lock the doors.

"Assholes?" "Fuck-ups?"

Use your radio and call the police.

Don't. It's dangerous. You'll get hurt.

Come to apologize for her?

What the fuck do you want?

If I apologize. You forgive?

He's Peruvian. The embassy will sue!

Shut the fuck up!

We should be going, sir.

It isn't worth it.

What is it?

I hear music.

It's not popular. It's not heavy metal.

It's pure music.

What's that mean?

I just thought he and I could be buddies.

So let's invite him to dinner.

No, I'd be too embarrassed.

Actually, my mother is taking care of my child.

Somehow I felt like we were in the same boat.
