No way! Me, the boss of a yakuza gang!? [Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Kadokawa films!] The long-awaited first UHD release of a classic starring Hiroko Yakushimaru, directed by Shinji Somai and based on the original work by Jiro Akagawa! A classic that represents Kadokawa films and that became a massive hit of social-phenomenon scale at the time of its release. It is a signature work of director Shinji Somai and the one film that made decisive the popularity of its star Hiroko Yakushimaru as a film actress. [4K digital restoration, a set of two discs in total, an Ultra HD Blu-ray (HDR version) plus a 4K Blu-ray] The Kadokawa Film UHD Project aims to restore the original color design by referring to such materials as the timing data of the period, past masters, and prints used for screening. For this product, the SDR version uses the master that cinematographer Seizo Sengen supervised during his lifetime, and the HDR version (contained on the Ultra HD Blu-ray) uses a new master produced in 2025 under the supervision of Shunichi Ogura in charge of timing, based on the records from cinematographer Seizo Sengen's 4K SDR supervision. When the HDR version master was produced, additional restoration and additional grading were carried out using the latest technology of IMAGICA Entertainment Media Services Inc. You can enjoy the beautiful blues of each scene and the powerful machine gun scenes that characterize this work more vividly than ever. *The 4K Blu-ray, which contains the SDR version master in HD, is the same disc as the one in "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun 4K Scanning Blu-ray" (released on December 5, 2014 / catalog number DAXA-4622).
