About

Tokyo Drifter acts as an ode to Tokyo, with a very simple premise: a musician (Kenta Maeno) wanders around various darkened areas of the city on a rainy night in May with his guitar, singing songs about life, love, and Tokyo itself. Matsue and Maeno together take the city in all its gritty glory and attempt to shine a light on the darkness.
