He must start his own investigation to clear his name, but what he uncovers is a tangled web involving crooked cops, drug-dealing gangsters, the city’s underground gay and biker scenes, and even his own past. A loose remake of Robert Altman’s \u003cem\u003eThe Long Goodbye \u003c\/em\u003ethat also draws from Visconti’s \u003cem\u003eDeath in Venice\u003c\/em\u003e, this was Matsuda’s break with his action hero image. Samurai movie veteran Eiichi Kudo (\u003cem\u003eThe Fort of Death\u003c\/em\u003e) relishes his chance at directing a neo-noir that captures urban Japan at the height of 1980s decadence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-Definition digital transfer, world premiere on Blu-ray \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncompressed mono PCM audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with star Mari Hemmi (2024, 14 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with screenwriter Shoichi Maruyama (2024, 22 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with writer and Yokohama expert Toru Sano on the film and a look at the locations (2024, 18 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly translated English subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve featuring design based on original posters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYokohama BJ Blues \u003c\/i\u003eis also available in USA\/Canada from our partners MVD, Diabolik, Orbit, Grindhouse, Rough Cut Canada and others\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYear: 1981\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCert: 15\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Blu-ray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion: AB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRAD086BD\u003cbr\u003eEAN: 5060974681655\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease date: 20\/07\/2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GDCqv3qZZVQ\" title=\"Yokohama BJ Blues (1981) - New Trailer [Radiance #86]\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radiance Films","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56942578237818,"sku":"RAD086BD","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/5482\/5961\/files\/YOKOHAMABJBLUES__STD_2D_FRONT.png?v=1780487297","url":"https:\/\/www.radiancefilms.co.uk\/products\/yokohama-bj-blues","provider":"Radiance Films","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
