For Love's Sake (Japan, 2012)

Troubled high school student Makoto arrives in Tokyo to exact revenge from a past incident. He then falls in love at first sight with Ai, a daughter raised in a wholesome family. Around Makoto and Ai are Iwashimizu , who has feelings for Ai, and Gamuko , a gang member who eyes Makoto. Also Gamuko's leader, Yuki have eyes for Makoto too. Who will get him in the end?

Director Takashi Miike (Audition) is back with another wacky project that's like his very own Crows Zero, if everyone would start singing before every fight. It somehow feels so natural that it's made by him, it features some beautiful and very theatrical set pieces, and Miike plays around a lot with the presentation.

Genre: Musical/Romance
