Yu Irie strikes again with the sequel to his surprise indie hit 8000 Miles - this time the boys of Sho-Gung get out of Saitama, only to take a backseat to the all female rap group, B-Hack. It turns out the lady-MCs out of Gunma have it even rougher than the boys. Like their leader Ayumu, who drudgingly helps out at her family business, the members of B-Hack all have strayed from their childhood dreams and are now looking for a new lease on life. Rekindled after a freestyle battle with Sho-Gung, the girls decide to get the band together and relive their glory days of high school. But the path to their supposed rapping stardom is riddled with setbacks and heartbreaks. Perhaps it is finally time to grow up. In revisiting many of the same themes from the first 8000 Miles, Irie successfully ups the ante in his sophomore effort - making his deadpan comedy even more unbearable, and his hard luck characters even more heartfelt.
