Plot

'Roadside Fugitive' follows Mighty's non-successful story after '8,000 Miles 1,' at the end of which he parts company with Ikku and Tom, members of his hip hop group, 'Sho-Gung,' and leaves for Tokyo. Will Mighty be able to keep faith in the tiny little soul burning somewhere inside him?

Sinekatalog’s take

A hip-hop-flavored drifter story about a young rapper clinging to his dream after his group falls apart. It follows a loose, scruffy path and leans on musical energy. Mostly for followers of the series and fans of Japanese indie hip-hop culture.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
