Japanese gangsters change sex and become pop idols

Back Street Girls is the new Japanese action movie about three tough gangsters. They work for the notorious Japanese crime group call the Yakuza. They fight, they kill and are very manly men. However, when they mess up a job, their crime boss sends them to Thailand to have gender reassignment surgery.

Coming back to Japan as attractive women, their boss gives them a new challenge - they must become pop idols and make the Yakuza lots of money.

Find out what happens to these tough guys who become tough girls when Back Street Girls opens in cinemas on Thursday June 27.
