Ursprünglich hätte Regisseur Toshiaki Toyoda der neue Stern am Himmel der Shogi-Spieler werden können, hatte er doch, wie viele andere junge Männer, hart trainiert und Jahre seines Lebens in den das Spiel, dessen Strategien und Taktiken investiert. Dann jedoch zog er nach Tokio und begann eine ganz andere Karriere als Filmemacher, die 1999 fulminant mit seinem Spielfilmdebüt „Pornostar“, auch bekannt unter dem Titel „Tokyo Rampage“, begann. Mit diesem ersten Film machte er nicht nur auf sich aufmerksam, sondern setzte den Grundstein für ein wütendes Kino, welche, mit reichlich Verweisen auf die japanische Pop- und Jugendkultur, auf Themen wie Gewalt, Verbrechen, soziale Isolation und Ungleichheit verwies, die Toyodas Werk bis heute prägen und zu einem der wohl wichtigsten zeitgenössischen Filmografien machen.
Im Zentrum der Handlung steht Arano (Koji Chihara), ein junger Mann, der eines Tages im Tokioter Stadtteil Shibuya erscheint. Unauffällig und den Kopf vergraben in der weiten Kapuze seines dunkelgrünen Regenmantels...

What began with “Pornostar” and “Blue Spring”, found its apogee in “9 Souls”, one of the greatest samples of Japanese indie cinema.
Nine convicts escape prison, since the tenth, Yamamoto, lost it just before a rat, which showed the others the way out, appeared on their cell. The convicts have decided to search for a money stash hidden by Yamamoto and so they function as a team, despite the fact that they differ in age, natire of crime and general background. Torakichi is the eldest and acts as the leader of the group. He has killed his own son. Kazuma is a young man, former member of a bike gang. He stabbed four members of his own group. Inui is a bomber (of sorts) who suffers from epilepsy. Shiratory is a dwarf, and a doctor who aided suicide. Michiru, the last one to enter prison, is an adolescent who killed his father.

Using crime-filled Shibuya of the 90’s as his setting, Toshiaki Toyoda presents a true guerilla film, which frequently functions as a music video.
The film starts with a mysterious, almost catatonic young man named Arano, walking in the street and bumping everyone around him, in a more violent edition of The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” music video. Eventually, he stumbles upon Kamijo, a young club-owner who struggles to stay away from the Yakuza, despite the fact that he is kind of a gangster himself. Through a series of violent episodes, Arano ends up in Kamijo’s group, as the latter appreciates his knack for violence. Their relationship though, is anything but smooth.
Toshiaki Toyoda presents a world where violence is the rule, where every man seems to be a gangster or on his way of becoming one. This world seems to be a perfect fit for Arano,...
