Synopsis:
High school student Izumi Hoshi transforms from an ordinary teenager into a Yakuza boss, navigating the underworld and personal growth after her father's untimely death.
I'm back with another classic, the 1982 TV adaptation of Sailor Suit and Machine Gun. This is Tomoyo Harada's first acting role and perhaps the rarest Jdrama I've worked on thus far, as it's not available on home media due to music licensing woes. You can check out a playlist of the soundtrack here. (I couldn't make out every single track that shows up in the show, but it's 95% of it)
As a big fan of Shinji Somai's 1981 film, I've always been intrigued by this 1982 adaptation for television. However, due to its rarity, it has remained out of my reach. Fortunately, it was rebroadcasted on Japanese TV, and I managed to snag a recording and have encoded and uploaded it to mega, linked above. And now, I'm thrilled to present English subs for the first time.
Just be aware that if you've seen the '81 film, this drama adaptation has a totally different and much more comedic tone than the film. The eventual '06 drama adaptation would tread similar ground tone wise.

As usual for these projects, I only had the audio to work with, so pardon any slip-ups and omitted lines especially when people are talking very fast or the BGM is very loud. Enjoy all 11 episodes!
