BLUES HARP (1998) - Takashi Miike
Blues Harp - The prolific Takashi Miike directed this Japanese crime drama that is set at the same U.S. military base at Yokosuka seen in Shohei Imamura's Pigs and Battleships (1961), yet takes a tour of the Okinawan underground youth culture.
Bi-racial bartender Chuji, son of an Okinawan mother and a black American GI, moves into a music career after a record executive hears his dynamic blues harmonica playing. When young yakuza Kenji collapses in the alley behind the nightclub where Chuji works, his life is saved by Chuji's girlfriend, a veterinarian's assistant.
It's the beginning of a dangerous association, as the gangster introduces the bluesman to another way of life — and Chuji obliviously and unwittingly gets tangled up in a yakuza battle way over his head.
