Trailer - 8000 Miles 2: Girl Rappers

First trailer for Yu Irie’s 8000 Miles 2: Girl Rappers, the followup to his 2008 indie rap comedy, 8000 Miles.

Similar to the setup of the first film, the story involves a group of aspiring rappers (this time, girls) living in a remote area (this time, Gunma). The girls love hip-hop so they decide to form a group, but, of course the citizens of Gunma don’t readily accept or appreciate their style of music, so they break up and their dreams fade as they get older. Now living boring, repetitive lives, their passion is renewed when they visit their the place they used to practice. Excited, they agree to perform again for just one night, hoping to recapture the magic of hip-hop and the happy times in spent together in their youth. However, various issues interfere and their newfound enthusiasm begins to get worn down by life’s everyday problems. Will they ever be able to perform together, or will the spark they had in their youth simply fade out again?
