The world we see everyday,

is it really the real world?

The human brain conveniently controls

unconsciously the information received.

That is, it deletes unwanted information.

However, this does not always happen.

If we pay attention,

we'll see there are countless cameras around us,

recording several hundreds of thousand

hours a day.

However, do they record

the same thing that we see?

The cameras you look at every day are sometimes a window to another world.

They may try to show us the reality.

WARNING: VIDEOS SENT BY THE PUBLIC

IT IS ADVISED TO STOP WATCHING IF YOU PRESENT ANY DISCOMFORT.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADVERSE REACTIONS AFTER WATCHING THEM.

This is the recording from one

of several security cameras.

There is something very strange

about this tape of the smoking area.

REPLAY

Did you notice?

In the upper half.

The woman who is reflected

in the glass turns strangely.

The sender said that

it mirrored her doppelgänger.

We are concerned about the woman's safety.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA! CAMERAS OF THE DEATH 3 PARANORMAL PHENOMENA

VIDEO COMPILATION

The next video

was recorded at a store

that has test cameras in front.

These cameras record

people passing by on the street

every single day.

TEST CAMERA

In the shop where Kawakami works,

they recorded these images.

We went to the shop when they were closing

to ask him about it.

We can't do it in the day. SENDER: MANABU KAWAKAMI

Ah, but at closing time, no problem? (ALIAS)

Is this the shop you said?

Yes, the camera is… Ah! Sorry!

Our shop sells

video surveillance

and security items.

That's why we have several

test cameras installed.

Those ones?

During the day,we have the monitor here.

And one of them captured

something strange, right?

Yes. They record to the other side of the sidewalk.

Suddenly, a face appeared.

A FACE APPEARED

Of course, it was not normal.

Did it look at the camera?

There was an accident before, did you know? CAMERAS ARE INSTALLED

People talk about it a lot.

It was in this place.

So I thought it might be related.

Watch the video.

A person appears

at an impossible angle...

in the camera.

REPLAY

Did you notice?

You can see someone looking at the camera,

but given the way they installed it,

this is impossible.

A FACE LOOKED OUT...

It peeked from above, but that is impossible.

Right, it is not possible.

How high was the camera?

Like this high.

There are several security CAMERAS INSTALLED

cameras installed on the shop.

What if it was hung up?

If it was done by a normal person,

that would be the only way.

Watch the video again.

Compared to a camera installed next to it. WATCH IT AGAIN COMPARED TO ANOTHER CAMERA.

NOT CAPTURED IN THE OTHER CAMERA.

Why would this strange face appear

in front of the camera?

Hello everyone, welcome.

Hi, Saken.

This is the recording

of a live video

made in a streaming site.

Yes, these shorts are indeed short.

I'll try hard!

I did not find any other.

I am

Milky, Milky.

INTERNET PROBLEM

How did you get the video?

I was watching

Niconico live. SENDER:

It was the stream of an aspiring idol. NAOHIKO NAKAMURA (ALIAS)

Her name is Milky.

- Milky? - Yes.

She is not very famous.

I think she participated...

in some Saitama contest.

The interesting thing about her

is how cute and sincere she is.

She was AKB style.

Do you know what AKB is?

Oh, yes.

They say that smiling is the idols' job, right?

I do not like that.

Milky is honest and natural, I like that about her.

I'm not a big fan though.

I saw her sometimes.

She used to sing and dance to AKB songs.

Suddenly, in the comments,

they typed “in the back, in the back”.

Then "watch out". IN THE BACK… IN THE BACK…

There were many comments.

Then it changed to "run" or "watch out",

they did not stop typing.

It didn't stop.

I didn't know what was happening,

I didn't get it at first,

but there was a man there.

She turned to see.

He was just hidden behind her

and it didn't show before.

She looked back at the camera

and the man showed again.

At first his figure doesn't look good

in the video you sent us.

Maybe he wasn't human.

Yes... The truth is that he disappears at times.

You can see him twice.

I liked the name Milky because of the cream.

The room where she records is on the second floor.

It can be confirmed

by the view from her window.

Besides, it does not have any kind of balcony.

It is impossible for someone to stand there.

However, the figure of a man can be seen.

I'm glad there are so many of you

watching me today.

Sorry I'm not good at singing,

I'm shy.

Really?

Yes, that's right.

"Miky, sing a song, please."

"Show your boobs."

Oh no, of course not.

No way.

I'm a legitimate and pure idol,

so I won't do any of that.

"Even the AKB ones showed their underwear." No, of course not, never.

"Hey?"

"Who was there in the back?"

Does it look good when I move? "I thought it was a ghost!"

"Are you okay?"

"Small boobs."

"Next."

That's the AKB choreography

I've been rehearsing.

How do you think?

Did you guys like it?

I rehearsed a lot.

Keep coming,

I'll keep dancing a lot. “Milky… in the back…”

"Good luck."

Back…

In the back?

Yes, in the back.

"Behind you, Shimura!"

The window? "The window."

Right, it's open.

Today is very hot.

Aren't you hot? "Are you sure?"

It really is very hot. “I found Milky's house.”

I don't have a fan or air conditioning.

That's why it's open.

"Hey?".

Weren't you hot today? "Should I buy you one?"

It's hot, right?

"I'm on my way out."

"There's someone behind you."

"I'll give you an A/C, where do you live."

"In the back!"

In the back? What? "Behind you, in the window."

Behind me? Hey?

What's happening to you guys?

What's going on? "Oh!"

"I saw it!" "It happened."

"Close the window!"

"Watch out."

"Run away, Milky!"

There's nothing. "There's someone behind you!"

"Seriously, in the back!"

"I saw it!" "Seriously, be careful."

"There is someone."

“Seriously, there is someone.”

"Milky, run."

"Watch out! Watch out!"

Don't joke like that, you scare me.

"It's some stalker!"

"RUN!"

"It happened!"

"Run, seriously, Milky!"

"Get out of that room!"

"Milky, they're going to kill you." "Run!"

"There it is!" "Close the window!"

"I'm serious, watch out!" "Close the window!"

"Run! Run! Run!" "It must be a ghost."

"Shout for help!"

"Shit, shit, shit, shit!"

"Now! Run!” "It's true!"

"Get out of there!"

"Leave now!" "Aaah!"

REPLAY

Oh no, of course not.

It's prohibited.

When she gets up,

you can see a man peeking out the window.

After that, it seems that he looks out

the window again and again.

In the back?

Hey?

What happens to you guys?

Don't joke like that.

In the end, he enters the room

suddenly.

THE VIDEO ENDS HERE.

AFTER THIS, THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVER.

She did not…

go live again.

Is she okay?

Was he human?

Or something that doesn't belong

to this world?

BLUR

It's here. RECORDING ASSISTANT: SAORI MAEDA

We received a video from the manager of an office building

and we're going to the place to interview and record him.

One of the many cameras installed

exhibits strange behavior.

SENDER: HIROSHI MATSUDA (ALIAS)

There are cameras on every floor,

but just one records...

the image blurred and with static.

Are the other cameras working? THE IMAGE IS OUT OF FOCUS

Yes, all of them are working.

We thought it was broken,

that's why it was replaced with a new one,

but, even though we changed it,

the camera kept blurring.

Are there strange rumors

or stories about the place?

It's an old building, so there are rumors.

Some say they see ghosts,

those stories are not rare.

I don't know if it's related,

but there was a fire a while ago.

Although it is an office building,

the incident was under suspicious circumstances.

UNKNOWN CAUSES

They do not know the causes of the fire.

Did it happen multiple times?

No, not at all.

Oh, I see.

This time, it's not like they saw a ghost, right?

No, not at all.

In the cleaning team,

there is a person who says

that she's sensitive to spirits.

According to her, in that video

she feels some kind of spirit.

Did someone on the staff say that? THEY RECORDED A GHOST

Yes, that's right.

But we didn't see a ghost when we checked it out.

No, you can't see it.

Can you check it there?

Oh no, it's not that monitor.

That one records the entrance and the street.

The one with the blurry image...

Is it another one?

Right.

An unresolved fire and a blurry video.

Are they connected?

He showed us the camera.

It records this area.

It doesn't blur all the time, right?

No, only occasionally.

It keeps happening even if they change it.

Is that one?

Yes. RECORDING ASSISTANT: KEN WATANABE

We decided to investigate

with our camera.

In doing so…

OUR CAMERA ALSO BEGAN TO BLUR

An old building

and an inexplicable supernatural phenomenon.

Furthermore, watching this recording,

a woman of the cleaning staff

said that there's a spirit.

What did you see in it?

She is very shy.

She mentions that she stared at the recording

and so the same thing in the security camera footage.

We check again and again.

But we found nothing. WE DIDN'T GET TO NOTICE ANYTHING.

What do those who are sensitive to spirits look at?

We headed to Akihabara to ask for help

with video analysis.

We asked a technology expert

who is also a specialist

in the supernatural and knows people

to know their opinion, he is KATOR.

We showed him the videos from the camera

and we told him about

what happened in the building.

I have a lot of wires there.

If you brought this to me,

it means that you think there's a ghost or something, right?

Yes, that's right.

They showed it to a person

who is sensitive to ghosts

and she said there is one here.

She's from the cleaning staff, but...

No. It's obvious that the camera is broken.

I do not see anything.

- Really? - The equipment works fine elsewhere.

The same equipment?

There must be a ghost.

I've never heard of security cameras being distorted like this.

Mr. KATOR attributes the video problem

to a camera failure.

However, he introduced us to an acquaintance of his

that's sensitive to spirits and performs divination.

- Look. - Yes.

There's a witch event.

You will surely find him there.

Oh, thank you very much.

We went to the event

and we met the fortune teller.

RECORDING ASSISTANT: CHIHIRO KIMURA

PAST LIFE IDENTIFICATION

Nice to meet you.

FORTUNE TELLER: RYOYA

I haven't had any scary experiences,

I just go around and find things.

I feel that someone is there.

They don't really come to me,

but I can peek into the dark

of people's hearts.

As I listen to their concerns,

I can feel that dark side they don't show regularly.

Honestly, it happens to me often.

And well…

I believe that

the remaining energy when a body perishes

it's what we call “ghost”.

The fortune teller sensitive to spirits

helped us to analyze the videos.

Yes, there it is.

-Where is it? - Here.

You can see a face staring at the camera.

It is right in front of the lens.

- In front of the lens? - Yeah.

Is it straight looking at the security camera?

It is right in front

of the person who is standing there.

THE FOCAL POINT MATCHES

Ryoya explains to us

that camera video is distorted

because the focal point of the camera tries to focus

on the ghost.

In my opinion,

it seems very upset,

I think it doesn't like the camera to perceive it.

Only sensitive to spirits people

can see it, right?

Does it mean that it's better not to watch the video?

That's right.

Look at the images

one last time.

Those who felt something when watching the video,

they are more sensitive to spirits.

He says it's better not to watch the material,

but I suggest those who saw

something to concentrate on the shot.

YOU CAN FEEL SOMETHING IN THE VIDEO WE RECORDED WITH OUR CAMERA.

The equipment we used to record on location

caught something disturbing.

The instant the camera goes out of focus,

we can see something similar to a face.

REPLAY

Did you notice?

With the camera in the same angle…

a face full of hate

and resentment appeared.

This footage was filmed during an event

of the so-called “underground idols”.

UNDERGROUND IDOLS

- Nice to meet you. - A pleasure.

Will it be audio and video?

Right. SENDER: I.I.

What's your name?

Call me I.I.

- I. I.? - Yeah.

I organize live concerts

in Akihabara and other places.

Idol events in general.

It is common for us

to set a camera in a box in the back.

A device that records the entire concert.

That time I got a big box

and I gathered various idols for the concert.

It was an ordinary event,

as you noticed in the video.

You saw it, right?

What happened on stage.

RECORDING ASSISTANT: MOE KANEDA

Yes, we saw it.

Does it mean that there are people that can't see it?

Rather,

when they recorded the video,

some did not see the figure.

No, of course not.

Nobody saw it.

Isn't there rumors

about ghosts appearing

at the event location?

Well, those rumors are normal in concert venues.

Yes, it's correct.

But there is no one in particular that stands out.

Observe, please.

Hello everyone, I am the idol priestess

who appears every 1 000 years,

Yumiko Koto Mikorin, nice to meet you.

Thanks, thanks.

Well, for my first song...

A figure is seen during the concert MUSIC DELETED

and it suddenly disappeared. FOR COPYRIGHT

This video was recorded live at the concert

to project on the screen in real time.

Several cameras film the stage from different angles.

And we can see it

coming out of nowhere on the screen.

REPLAY

Hello everyone, I am the idol priestess

who appears every 1 000 years,

Yumiko Koto Mikorin, nice to meet you.

Did you notice?

In the right corner of the screen

there is a figure that looks like...

a girl in a school uniform.

REPLAY

She lifts her face slowly

and she watches the idol on the stage.

When the camera changes,

the girl disappears.

Didn't anything strange happen

with any of the other idols?

No, nothing happened with other idols.

Oh but...

about the girl the girl in the video,

the one on stage when it happened,

she is very strong.

She sees these kinds of things.

-Is she sensitive to spirits? - Yeah.

She checked me out. SENSITIVE TO SPIRITS

She can predict your future if you write your name

and show it to her.

The ghost appeared when she went up,

could that be connected?

Did she saw the recording of the concert?

Oh, I don't remember.

I think she didn't.

So, you didn't talk to her after the event, right?

No, I didn't think about it.

How weird. She perceives spirits, right?

Yes, it seems so.

She is always right

she does name divination.

We would like to meet her.

That's no problem.

Right now?

It is not necessary, it can be another day.

The next day, WE WILL TALK WITH THE IDOL SENSITIVE TO THE SPIRITS

we were introduced to the idol of the video,

who was on stage during the incident.

We were told that you're sensitive to spirits.

Does she have anything to do

with the ghost in the video?

- Will you record in that one? - Yes.

Shall we begin?

IDOL: YUMIKO

Nice to meet you.

You had doubts about the idol I represent, right?

I'm an independent idol.

From time to time Mr. I. I. calls me.

- He said you feel spirits. - Ah, yes, yes.

You can see them, right?

Yes.

- Mmm… - She perceive them easily.

- Can you do it? - Yes.

- What about divination ? - Yes, yes.

- It's faster if you see it. - Okay.

HE READ THE FUTURE TO OUR STAFF.

Kinta, you...

It's a little hard for me to say.

How has your love life been

from about five years to now?

Do you have problems?

- I haven't had a boyfriend since then. - Oh, I see.

You're not lucky with men, right?

Don't think it's your fault.

Five years ago,

something happened that,

in my opinion, detonated everything.

You haven't changed your hairstyle

in all this time, right?

You are rejecting everything related

with love.

You've been with a negative aura

for five years.

That's what I see in your name.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Do you think that's the problem?

Yes, the hairstyle is the problem.

Her hair doesn't suit her the way it is.

I saw a picture of you with short hair

and with a color like pink

or another cheerful color.

If you cut your hair

and dye it a light shade,

I think your problems with love will be fixed.

That's what I saw.

- Oh, surprising. - Marvelous.

Do you use this gift

in your activities as an idol?

- No, she tries to avoid it. - Right, I don't use it.

I get very exhausted when I do it.

And they warned me not to.

That's why I try not to even mention it.

SHE SAYS SHE FELT THE GHOST THAT APPEARED THAT DAY.

Was it just at that moment?

Or is she always with you?

The truth is that I always feel her with me.

She looks like a friend

I had at school.

- I think… -Huh?

- that her energy is similar. - Really?

Unfortunately, she died.

THE GHOST IS HER HIGH SCHOOL

Did she die? FRIEND WHO DIED

That's right. IN AN ACCIDENT.

I brought pictures of me

when I went to school.

Does she come to you?

Yes, sometimes I feel her next to me

or at the back of the stage.

The ghost in the recording

was a friend of Yumiko during middle school.

It's like she's got my back.

She always liked idols.

She always said

that she would like

to be like me.

Excuse me, can we see the photos?

- Just a little. - Okay.

Ah, she's that one.

-The photo in front …-Not that one, it has my personal information.

It's her.

HER HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND, SAKI (ALIAS)

Since Saki died, SHE DIED IN AN ACCIDENT

I feel her presence with me.

I think she protects me. YUMIKO IN HIGH SCHOOL

Or so I thought. SAKI, WHO DIED IN AN ACCIDENT

The image of her changed.

It is darker.

The figure seems to show hatred.

Yes, that's how I feel it now.

Did everyone see the video?

Yes, they did.

Did you see it in detail?

Yes, we saw it.

Nothing unusual happened to you?

Didn't you feel bad or hurt yourself?

Or something else?

Ah, something happened to me, I think.

- What? - My legs feel heavy.

Do you think it's a connection?

- Since you saw the video? - Yes.

I think you're in danger.

Because of the recording?

It is very probable.

But I saw it too.

But I did a spiritual cleanse once for you.

Oh, it's true.

Yes. that's why.

It's not very good to see that.

What if you do it to them?

Yes, I think I should.

But I can only do simple ones.

I think it's Saki's influence.

Her energy is very strong.

SHE MADE A SPIRITUAL CLEANSE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAM.

Could you burn it?

Where?

The head.

Do it fast.

Ready, thank you.

This ritual is to

absorb negative energy

that you had attached to yourselves.

Afterwards, the paper is burned to disperse it.

Do you think it would be good to do a professional ritual?

Yes, it would be the best.

This might not be enough.

The figure that appears

during the concert

is Yumiko's old friend.

Her name was Saki.

Since Saki died,

she possesses Yumiko.

According to Yumiko, Saki's appearance changed.

Now, she feels that she projects hate on her.

That hate got so strong

that it even affects those who watch the video.

Saki used to admire Yumiko.

Why is she now with

a hateful expression? THE STAFF

You should look for Saki's friends. GATHERS TO TALK.

Shall we look for her by name?

Yes, I thought the same.

I was looking for Yumiko's real name.

It must have to do with her idol name.

Yes, it must be a variation of her name.

She is called "Miko" and that is why she wears the priestess outfit.

Her close friends...

We can look up her old friends.

She didn't want us to track down her friends.

Have you looked it up on Facebook yet?

We can locate the school.

We started to investigate

to interview high school friends

of Yumiko and Saki.

Find out more about their relationship.

They probably know more details.

And they might have an idea

why she became a ghost.

They would be a great clue.

WE FOUND A PERSON WHO MATCHES SAKI'S DETAILS.

We found someone from

the same year as Saki.

Same first and last name?

- From the same school? - Yes.

- And same year? - Yes.

Hey?

Did you talk to any of her classmates?

Yes.

They told me they didn't know

she was dead.

I didn't think they were lying.

Won't she be confusing her?

But…

she told us

that the figure in the video

was her friend Saki.

So who is she?

TO BE CONTINUED…

This is the recording

from an ordinary restaurant

like anywhere.

RESTAURANT

Won't it be her?

I don't think so.

Are you Miss Kawai?

Oh, nice to meet you.

YU KAWAI (ALIAS)

At my work,

I am in charge of checking

security videos and sending them.

And it seems to me that

there is a ghost in one of them.

There is the figure of a woman in the video.

All my coworkers and I

call her “Tsumi” as a joke.

Is it easy to make a copy of the video for us?

It's not complicated, but...

GHOSTS APPEARANCES HAPPEN IN THE RESTAURANT.

Sometimes when cleaning bathrooms,

someone knocks on the door or they lock it.

From inside?

Yes, but there's no one inside.

You walk into the bathroom

and it feels like

you were observed.

It's strange.

It is perceived from above.

It's like they're spying on you from above.

It seriously gives me chills.

I was very afraid and I left.

THOSE WHO WATCHED THE VIDEO SUFFERED DISGRACE.

A coworker who tried to make a copy,

someone who works before me,

died

in a bicycle accident. DIED.

There are some we cannot contact.

A girl from work,

older than me,

suffered an acid attack on the street,

that sort of things.

SOMETHING HAPPENED TO KAWAI.

I didn't get hurt or anything like that,

and I try to take it with humor and not be scared,

but sometimes,

a woman gets close to my ear

and I hear a loud sound.

Does that woman approach you often?

Yes.

And suddenly my ears are ringing.

It's like a “shhh”.

AN ABNORMAL BUZZING.

Ringing in the ears is

usually like “beep”, right?

But this is "shhh".

Uh…

Is it like it vibrates in your head?

Yes, kind of…

But I don't know how to describe it...

It is and is not a buzz.

The companion who died said

the same thing happened to him.

The ringing in the ears?

Yes, his ears were ringing.

THAT HAPPENED TO THE DEAD COWORKER.

I feel like I'm next.

Inexplicable phenomena happen

to those who watch this video.

And they start

to hear a strange buzzing

as an omen that something will happen.

REPLAY

Did you notice?

Up to the right.

We see a girl in red walk by.

But she has no legs.

It is sure that she is not of this world.

We observe many maids handing out flyers in Akihabara.

Do you find something

strange in this video?

GHOST MAID

Is it true that you have an interesting video for us?

Mr. KATOR informed us

of a disturbing video that he obtained.

So we went to visit him.

It's Akihabara, right?

It is a maid handing out flyers.

Right.

But there is a girl who does handing out anything.

It's true, she looks like she's just standing there.

Yes.

I had never seen her.

I asked to…

the girl is in the street

with other maids,

but it is possible that she is a ghost.

I'm sure she's a ghost.

Really?

That's why I called you.

Please, watch the video.

VIDEO OF A CAMERA IN THE AKIHABARA SHOPPING DISTRICT

There is a maid standing there very early.

She doesn't react...

to several people passing by the street.

The pachinko shop is finally open

and the maid has been in the same position for several hours.

She doesn't move.

People passing by

seem to not notice

the maid standing there.

It's already past noon

and more maids appear.

Passing customers react to the new maids,

but no one talks to the maid in question.

It starts to get dark.

There are fewer people on the street.

However, the maid continues without moving.

She also doesn't try to talk to anyone.

She doesn't hand out the flyers.

She has been in the same position all day.

She doesn't seem to be alive.

Is this maid really a ghost?

It's already night time.

There are few people on the street

but the maid did not move...

not even once.

The last maid handing out flyers

leaves with a client.

The pachinko shop is closing,

however, the maid never changed places.

SHE'S STANDING IN THE SAME PLACE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO ONE ON THE STREET.

I'm sure she's a ghost.

Really?

That's why I called you.

WE WENT TO RECORD TRUSTING KATOR'S WORDS.

- Can we record you? - Okay, that's fine.

Oh, thank you.

You hand out flyers around here, right?

Have you seen her?

No, never.

Do you know many of the maids?

Didn't you hear about it?

No, I've never heard of her.

You work in a local, right?

Yes, I take clients to the shop.

It's her. Do you know her?

Whoa!

Yes, yes.

I see her about once a month.

- Weekends? - Yes.

Does she come once a month?

Yes, she hands out flyers on the weekend. THE MAID EXISTS!

Did you talk to her?

We only talked once.

She always have a suitcase with her.

She is staying at an internet cafe, SHE HAS A SUITCASE.

she eats in a restaurant and then hands out flyers.

I haven't seen her this month.

Do you know where she usually eats?

At the restaurant on that corner.

The one over there?

WE WENT TO THE PLACE WHERE THEY SAW HER.

Haven't you seen her?

I doubt she will show up.

Isn't that her?

WE SAW SOMEONE WITH THE SAME SUITCASE.

She had a suitcase, right?

Yes, she had one.

Really?

SHE'S THERE.

Let's go?

Yes, let's get closer.

Sorry, we see you're working.

Could you answer a few questions?

Is it okay if we record?

WE MANAGED TO TALK TO HER.

The maid that KATOR said was a ghost

is a real girl.

We asked her to tell us a little about herself.

- Come, sit down. - Oh, I'm the maid.

Please, sit down.

Are you sure?

You could do it too.

Really?

It's just that I am the maid.

We saw the video of a maid

who doesn't hand out flyers,

she's just standing on the street.

Some said that she was a ghost.

That's why we came to investigate.

This one.

There it is.

Yes, it's me.

It's her.

Oh, I see.

- So it was a misunderstanding. - Yes. SHE'S THE MAID IN THE VIDEO.

What's your name?

I'm Eri.

Oh, Eri.

This karaoke has food. MAID: ERI

Oh, right.

Excuse me, can I order?

Eri is the maid that appears

in the video we watched.

However,

why does she work as a maid

without joining a local?

I come from Tochigi, I have to move a lot

and I can only work twice a month.

I asked once,

but they told me that I had to work

at least three times a week.

What is it like to be

an independent maid?

Ah, uh…

It's like being a normal maid.

I accompany my master

to the place they want to go

and I serve them with what they need.

It doesn't change much.

SHE ACTED AS A MAID TO US.

Can I cast a spell on you?

Ah… Yes, please.

Here I go.

Turn into a delicious, shuwa, shuwa, pon!

There you go.

Thank you. Oh, how cute.

Excuse me.

Turn into a delicious, shuwa, shuwa, pon!

What was your motivation to work as a maid?

My dream was always to be a maid,

but I wasn't brave enough.

Sometimes I played to be a maid.

And I decided to work as one

in Akihabara.

This is my dream and I decided to follow it.

I like it a lot.

Why do you come from Tochigi?

I have a chronic disease.

Chronic disease?

That's why I have to go

home to receive treatment

at the hospital,

but I am very happy for the opportunity

to make my masters smile.

I really don't care about the salary

or spending money when I come.

This is more of a dream than a job for you.

That's right.

I see.

Shall I show you the spell?

The activities of an independent maid

don''t change much from the other maids,

they serve their masters in the nearby shops.

Eri has a chronic illness

and she must be treated in her hometown,

so she is not hired

in an ordinary place.

However, she works independently.

Marvelous!

She's like the maids on TV.

She travels to Akihabara a few times a month

to fulfill her dream

despite her illness.

ANOTHER DAY, IN THE STAFF ROOM

Several days after the recording,

we lost contact with Eri.

KIMURA: Eri didn't reply to the last message.

MAEDA: Did she always answer quickly?

KIMURA: Yes. Always.

She answered me immediately.

KIMURA: Do you think she's in the hospital?

KIMURA: She told me that she wasn't feeling very well.

KIMURA: I even tried calling her.

MAEDA: And she didn't answer?

KIMURA: No, the phone is dead.

WE COULD NOT CONTACT ERI.

Kator informed us that Eri

appeared recently on a recording.

However, what we saw was disturbing.

About the girl in the video from last time…

- Eri, right? - Yes, Eri.

I have a video from three days ago.

Eri appears in it.

It's like the previous one,

but she left, right?

Yes, she is not here.

But she reappeared again,

that's why I called you.

HOWEVER, SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENS IN THE VIDEO.

I see.

- Well, - That's Eri for sure.

let's watch the video.

It is a camera installed in Akihabara.

In it, we see Eri on the street.

However,

when a van passes by,

she suddenly disappears.

REPLAY

Is that really Eri?

THE TEAM MANAGED TO CONTACT ERI'S FAMILY.

Good morning, is this the Kawashima house?

Is Eri in?

And she has been

hospitalized all this time?

Is she in serious

condition due to her illness?

Was it recently?

I see.

I understand.

Eri was hospitalized at the time

in which the video was recorded. ERI WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.

So,

who is the person in the video?

Can we say that it is

the materialization

of Eri's strong will?

Or is it some kind of premonition?

We can only hope that it's not that.

Eri is still hospitalized.

It was said that the figure that appeared

at the concert

was Saki, an old friend of Yumiko,

the idiot who sings on stage.

She looks like a friend

I had at school.

I think their energy is similar,

but she died in an accident.

Same first and last name?

- From the same school? - Yes.

- Same year? - Yes.

She said that the one

in the video was Saki.

So who is she?

Our investigation found Saki

on social media UNDERGROUND IDOL

Who is UNDERGROUND IDOL

the ghost in the video? UNDERGROUND IDOL

WE CONTACTED THE SAKI WE FOUND ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Thank you for meeting us. INFORMANT: SAKI IIDA

They told us that you were the figure

from the video you just watched.

They also told us that you admired Yumiko.

Hey? Me? Admire?

That you were her biggest fan.

Her fan? Me?

They said that you were a fan

of Yumiko for being an idol.

Of course not.

We weren't friends, just partners.

I can't even say we got along.

As a child I made some

performances,

but I'm not a fan of idols.

And I didn't even know that Miko was

working as an idol.

She was always very introverted.

I never heard anything about her

working as an idol.

So it was you, Saki,

who worked as an actress

and everyone knew

and supported you, right?

What you say is THE STORY OF YUMIKO

the story is other way around. IT'S THE SAME AS SAKI'S.

Yumiko told us

that you were the one who admired her.

Yumiko and I hardly

ever really hang out.

Our groups of friends were different,

and well, sometimes she tried to join,

but that was it.

I didn't really like being with her.

How was she?

She suffered from bullying.

- Bullying? - Right.

If I am the Saki she's referring to YUMIKO WAS A VICTIM OF BULLYING AT SCHOOL.

in her story,

then it's a complete lie.

There was no one with the same name in the group.

No, there's none.

Was there a girl who died in an accident?

Maybe she is confused.

Let me think...

Yes.

It is possible that there was someone.

Yes, now I remember.

I didn't know her much, A GIRL DIED

she was closer to Yumiko. THERE WAS A GIRL WHO PASSED AWAY.

I don't remember her well,

but they went out sometimes.

Why do you ask?

Does she say those things in public?

She mentioned that it's someone close to her, but that it's upset.

No, I do not.

I really don't understand anything.

Listening to Saki's version, YUMIKO IN HIGH SCHOOL

Yumiko's story

seems to actually be from Saki.

We interviewed Yumiko again

to confirm the story.

Thanks for coming.

Please, come in.

Well…

- Why did you call us? - Oh, right.

The story you told us last time…

about what happened with Saki…

She did not appear again.

Really?

But I feel her presence

stronger and more suffocating.

Don't you feel it?

Did you go to the ritual?

- I'm cold. - Are you okay?

Can you feel it?

A little more.

More than before?

Yes, it increased.

We did some research about Saki.

And her…

Investigation?

- With who? - With people from your school.

- We went to interview them. - Huh?

And Saki…

- Why? - It's research.

- The accident… - You could ask me.

When we investigated,

Why did they do it?

we found out that Saki is alive.

Eh?

Yes.

Yes, she is alive and healthy.

She has a job and a normal life.

Yes, that's right.

She is healthy and has a normal life.

No, she was in an accident

and died in high school.

When we talked to Saki,

we realize that the story you told us

fits more to Saki's life.

Right?

Yes, it fits her.

Eh? Did you talk directly to Saki?

Yes, we saw her the other day.

And we would like to know

- the true story. - I already told you the truth.

I don't understand. Didn't they get the person wrong?

Did she know Miko?

Yes, she knows her.

Oh…

Can you ask Saki to come in?

Is she here?

Excuse me.

You know Miko, right?

Yes. You are ***, right?

Yes, that's right.

They told me that

you told my high school story

as if it were yours,

is it true?

Did you hear me?

Is the Saki in the video this Saki?

No, she is another Saki.

Another Saki?

Do you know this person?

Yes.

Really?

But it's not the Saki I'm talking about.

I heard you said that I am the ghost

and that I appear in the video.

I did not say that.

That story is...

It's my story as an idol, right?

We agreed on that, right?

Well…

People who work as idols…

Idol?

They need a particular story.

Right, there's like an origin narrative.

It is a story that forms their character.

But that story sounds a lot like mine.

I didn't like you using it when I heard it.

It's not you.

It's another Saki.

Also, I'm not talking about you,

it's just a story of my origin as an idol.

Why are you laughing?

My stomach turned when they told me.

I don't get what you find so funny.

We weren't even friends.

Answer me.

Now it sounds like I was envious of you.

Sorry, I think I spoke too much.

You said the ghost was Saki,

but clearly that is not true.

Can you clarify something for us?

I…

I. I., did you made up the story?

No, that part is completely

handled by idols.

- Do you only take care of the events? - That's right.

When they showed me the video,

something caught my attention

and I started to think.

I told you that Miko was a victim of bullying, right?

But something happened afterwards, now I remember.

A strange rumor came out and another girl

became the target of bullying.

That girl killed herself

because of that.

Did she kill herself?

The girl in the video

looks like the one that killed herself.

I remember that she hung out with Miko.

You were friends, right?

I don't know.

And then?

Are you okay?

I don't…

Eh?

What happened?

About the rumor...

in other words,

Miko spread the rumor

about the other girl

to stop being bullied

and make the other girl the target of the abuse.

They were friends,

but Miko did something horrible

to her and she ended up hurt.

That was the cause of the suicide.

Am I right?

Yes, I think that is correct.

It was horrible.

Why would she lie like that?

Yumiko's real friend

committed suicide.

The ghost in the video

looks like her deceased classmate.

She seems to hate Yumiko,

but there is something strange,

why did she said that the ghost was Saki?

Why did she lie like that?

And what was the last "I don't" she said?

What was she referring to?

Since Saki died,

I feel that her presence

with me.

I think she protects me.
