Description:
Drenched in the a.m. sweat of local rock-and-roll heroes and in the blood of gaping knife wounds, BLUES HARP hits the ground running as Kenji, a brazen, power-hungry yakuza, desperately tries to escape a rival gang hunting him down in the deserted streets of Yokosuka.
Ducking into the back alley of a club blaring an irrepressible second-hand blues, Kenji chances upon the establishment’s proprietor, Chuji, the son of an African American G.I. and an Okinawan native as well as a reluctant, part-time pusher answerable to Kenji’s would-be murderers.
Motivated by some mixture of spite, compassion, and possibly sexual desire, Chuji helps Kenji elude his pursuers, capping a night of chivalry that began earlier when he rescued a female patron, Tokiko, from sexual harassment and, potentially, rape.
