Tokyo Tribe is a live-action Japanese musical film released in 2014. It is directed by Sion Sono and based on a manga series of the same name by Santa Inoue. The movie follows the story of various street gangs residing in Tokyo, who all have their own unique styles of dress, dance, and music. The gangs are divided into two factions - the Bukuro Wu-Ronz and the Shibuya Saru, each trying to maintain its grip on power in the city.
The story begins with the leader of Bukuro Wu-Ronz, Mera, trying to expand his gang's territory through forceful means. Meanwhile, a young man named Kai, who is part of a peaceful and musical gang, meets a girl named Erendira, who has fled from Bukuro Wu-Ronz after being assaulted by Mera. Together, they try to stop the impending gang war and bring peace to the city.
As tensions rise, the situation becomes more complex, with internal strife within each gang threatening to tear them apart. The Shibuya Saru leader, Tera, has his own past traumas to deal with, while Kai struggles with his own identity and loyalties. The movie climaxes with a massive gang war where every character's fate hangs in the balance.
The film features an ensemble cast of mostly unknown actors, many of whom were recruited from local dance groups. The music and dance scenes in the movie are the highlight, with each gang having their own unique style and sound. The film has been criticized for its use of extreme violence and sexual content, but it has also been praised for its high-energy visuals and innovative storytelling.
