■Story
In a certain town, the legend begins. A mighty team named Mugen used to control the entire area. But there was one vicious enemy that even they couldn't crush--the Amamiya Brothers. After a mortal battle, Mugen suddenly broke apart and five groups were formed in the area.

Taking the first letter of each name, the area came to be called SWORD. The gangs are known as G-SWORD. Sanno Hoodlum Squad, the sons of the local stores in Sanno District
White Rascals, the white devils of temptation
OYA-Koh (Oya High School), the vicious high school steeped in darkness
Rude Boys, the ghosts of the ruthless town
Daruma Ikka (Daruma Family), the vengefully destructive family

These five gangs break out into a fight for their pride and glory. But the story gets twisted with a mysterious group called MIGHTY WARRIORS.
This story depicts both the fierce battles in the gang-infested SWORD territory, and the realistic world of grownups that lies hidden behind all the violence.

■Comment
EXILE HIRO (HiGH&LOW Project Producer from LDH)
"HiGH & LOW" is a project that was borne out of the EXILE TRIBE members' dreams of surprising the world and providing excitement for our fans. As we shared our experiences from our daily artistic endeavors and acting obligations, the ideas began to blossom,
eventually leading to the launch of this exciting project.
"Love, Dream, Happiness" is the motto that serves as the foundation to our work, but this project is completely different from how we've expressed it so far in our live shows and other productions. This time, we will deliver "Love, Dream, Happiness" from a totally different angle.
With "HiGH & LOW" at the core, we will unveil various never-seen-before forms of entertainment that only LDH can create. We have a lot of fun stuff coming your way so please stay tuned.
