Boys Hitting the Road (2017)
A bar in Shinjuku 2-chome. Toru is the manager of this bar, but one day, the owner, Ishii, suddenly passes away. The bar is to close, and Toru receives a list of regulars from Takano, the accountant, and decides to start a journey to collect retirement benefits. Together with Kenichi, the bar's number one, they borrow Ishii's old car and set off to northern Kanto. First up is Sato, a company president with a foot fetish. Although married, he can't stop playing around with men, and whenever he comes to Tokyo, he requests Kenichi. In order not to let the people around him know, he gives Kenichi more money than the tab. Next is Yamamoto, a city council member in the local assembly. A born sadist, he likes to tie Kenichi himself or have a young bondage artist tie him up, and then watch it happen. Kenichi continues on his journey, but he has another goal: to meet Shouji, a man he used to date...
