PROLOGUE
Yeah!! This is DJ Professor K,
baby, the master of mayhem, you know
what I'm sayin'— bringing you another Tokyo
underground pirate radio broadcast from — Jet Set Radio!
I'm going to bust into your head through your cute little ears and blow
your minds with my sexy voice and out-of-sight sounds! Those of you prone to
nosebleeds should keep those tissues handy, suckas!
Tokyo is bein' oppressed by the Rokkaku Group, a mega-enterprise headed by
Rokkaku Gouji. Rokkaku is using his money and influence to mess with everything:
industry, society, and even our culture. And he's even got his eyes set on City Hall.
Lately, Rokkaku's been shaking down the government, passin' that "Rokkaku
Law" crap, and even buying off the police department. This law isn’t anything
but garbage. It's just some selfish little punk's way of trying to show he's a
big man. Rokkaku and his gang are tryin' to stomp out our culture left and
right. They don't give a rip about our rights; all they care about is profit.
And some spineless fools have already become flunkies in their diabolical
scheme. You'd better believe they're listening in on this
broadcast.
But even in all this heat,
there's a group of young kids who've
been tearin' up the streets — I'm talking about the
Rudies. These kids have set out to bury Tokyo in graffiti.
And now they're all wrapped up in their own little territorial tug-of-wars.
Lately, Tokyo's been on one baaad trip. The attack on the record store in Chuo
Street, prowlers in Dogenzaka Hill, low-lifes spreading vicious rumors,
the mysterious blackout on 99th Street. And who should be following them
around but the Rokkaku Group's watchdog, the Rokkaku Police!
With the Rokkaku Expo just around the corner, the crackdowns are only
getting tighter.
My heart hasn’t pounded like this since my first date and I was so nervous,
I forgot to wear my underwear, baby!
This isn’t the time to be sitting around sipping afternoon tea! The game's
going to start soon and y'all are going to be the ones making the plays!
