Año 37 de la era Meiji. Tras sobrevivir a la guerra Ruso-Japonesa, Sugimoto, apodado "El inmortal", se une a la fiebre del oro para ayudar a la viuda de uno de sus amigos caído durante el conflicto. En su búsqueda, alguien le revela que existe un tesoro escondido y que las distintas claves para encontrarlo las llevan tatuadas en sus espaldas peligrosos convictos. En su camino se topará con Asirpa, quien no solo le salva la vida, sino que que además le ayudará en su cometido con tal de vengar la muerte de su padre.

Mikio Naruse is one of the most popular directors in the history of Japanese cinema, a crafter of heartrending melodramas often compared with the work of Yasujiro Ozu and Kenji Mizoguchi.

This great Japanese combo are maybe even more dapper than usual here – still strongly tied up in their tradition of hard-hitting jazz, but also opening the door for work from some guest soul singers and MCs! Leader Shacho is usually the "agitator" in the group – calling out the performances from the players – but this time around, he's more of the music director and songwriter – working in collaboration with the singers when they appear – in a lineup that features work from Nao Kawamura, Yojiro Noda, Shun Ikegai, Ego Wrappin, and Awich. Make no mistake, the instrumentation is as fantastic as ever – maybe even more so, as the group feel leaner and tighter – with some especially fantastic bass, trumpet, and keyboards. Titles include "A New Day", "Heaven On Earth", "Deform Reform", "Comrade", "Drivin", "Dusk", "Drifter", and "Pride Fish Ball".
