Takashi Miike, who pumps out an average of 3 films a year, may not have a flawless track record, but with films like 13 Assassins and Audition, he has proven to be a master of his craft.

Beyond Hollywood gives us the first look at his latest movie, The Legend of Love and Sincerity, which hits Japanese theaters on June 16th, 2012. Judging from the trailer, the film looks like a combination of Romeo & Juliet, Crows Zero and Grease 1 & 2. Yes, you heard that right, it’s part love story, part gangster tale and part musical.

The Legend of Love and Sincerity is based on the manga by Ikki Kajiwara. It’s also a remake of a Shigeyuki Yamane’s Japanese movie of the same name, which was made in 1974. Without further ado, check out the trailer.
