In the modern cities where all the darkness are said to be gone,

there still exists the darkness that is everlasting from the ancient times.

The darkness of the dead that appears on the verge of this world.

The underworld is always waiting for a chance to drag us down into the dark side.

And there is another darkness that is still growing.

Haven't you forgotten where the darkness grows most enormously?

Yes, it grows within our distorted heart.

Sometimes the camera captures the darkness of such moment.

The videos that are born from the darkness and to be buried in the darkness.

Let us introduce you what camera catches in the darkness.

Tokyo Videos of Horror

Wonder of Shrine

I never thought of myself so shy.

But when I'm next to her, I got so nervous.

Hey, you know who you are.

That's good.

Did you talk to her?

Yeah, we exchanged some words.

Just an easy conversation.

Sounds good.

-Did you exchange your email address with her? -No, noway!

You are kidding!

I wasn't really a go-getter.

Hey, that's the sign.

To the left.

Ok, we are almost close.

The video holder: Keitaro Shinoyama

That was when I went to take a look at for the study tour.

The place I used to work, I had a friend called Kanzaki.

That is the video of me and Kanzaki.

We were in charge of study program.

We rented out a car,

we two visited training institutions.

And we looked for the hotels and sight-seeing places.

We took pictures and videos in order to make a presentation at our company.

That was our plan.

Since I had a video camera,

I kept my camera rolling.

We went around whole day shooting the places.

Where's the place where we can have barbeque?

Barbeque?

That must be around there.

There?

Yeah, according to the map.

-That's the only thing we can enjoy. -Don't say that.

Since it got dark, we tried to go back.

So we made our way back home.

On our way, there was an old deserted shrine among the forest.

When we saw it, we felt spooky.

Me and Kanzaki used to love visiting around psychic spot and ruins.

So we decided to go and look.

We walked around whole day and I was tired and didn't feel like it.

But Kanzaki insisted of going there.

So I had no choice.

Kanzaki was the one who was driving whole day.

I was worried that he could have been so tired.

Then we parked the car by the forest.

And we both went to that shrine by foot.

Hey, it's too dark.

Just a moment.

Now we can see this way.

Hey, great!

I think now it works.

The battery of my mobile is almost running out.

Really?

I think we can make it.

Kanzaki, wait. I really need to pee.

Sure, go ahead.

We got out of the car.

I needed to go to the bathroom.

I handed my camera to Kanzaki.

Meanwhile, Kanzaki kept the camera rolling.

We watched it and realized later.

And the camera caught something strange.

The strange thing in it.

Kanzaki-san was shooting alone.

The strange video.

Kanzaki-san is laughing while he shoots the forest.

And his laughter changed into the voice of a woman...?

When I came back from pee, we walked towards the shrine.

It's almost there.

It must be somewhere around there.

It's getting cold.

We are within a reach.

It's there.

Hey.

Someone's there.

A girl.

She's getting in.

She's getting in there.

What's going on? She lives here?

In the middle of the night

a woman walks into the shrine.

Shall we go back?

No, let's go.

Are you sure? Are we going?

Sure we do. We're not doing anything wrong.

Ok. Let's go.

But it's pretty much scary.

Who could it be?

Yeah, kind of scary.

So dark.

So spooky.

She's not there anymore.

Where did she go?

I have no idea.

It pretty much doesn't make any sense.

Pretty dark here.

-What happened to you, Kanzaki? -Nothing. I'm alright.

Are you alright?

Is that it?

Kind of shabby.

No girl here.

No. I wonder.

Maybe she's inside.

Inside this, you mean?

No, it can't be.

Shall we go inside?

No, no, no.

No, that'll make us get into trouble.

We'd better not do that.

It's really really dark here.

I can't see anything.

But she must have come this way.

Can you use that light?

Even with this no. But something there up ahead.

Something.

I have no idea.

It's a little brighter there.

Yeah, right.

What happened to you, Kanzaki?

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

Do you feel sick?

Sorry, just one second.

Are you seriously ok?

All of a sudden, he threw up.

Kanzaki-san, a colleague of the video holder.

Shall we go back once?

Just a second.

Do you want some rest here?

Where did she really go?

He worried about the girl he saw.

So he decided to look around the shrine.

What? A bag?

It's too dark.

Oops.

What?

Kanzaki, were you staying here all the time?

Yeah, all the time.

I could hear someone coughing.

It's not me.

Out from the darkness of the back of shrine,

he heard an inexplicable sound of coughing.

Shall we go back?

Ok.

Have you seen a girl again?

No.

They decided to go back.

Kanzaki, are you alright?

Yeah, fine.

Are you still shooting?

Yes, I am.

It starts raining.

Yeah. it does.

Kanzaki, are you alright?

My shoelace is untied.

We're almost back to where we were.

Sorry.

Are you ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Ok, let's go.

Hey, wait.

-My shoelace. -Seriously?

Sorry. Just a moment.

Are you alright?

Hold on. We're almost there.

Are you ok? Are you feeling alright?

I'm ok.

Kanzaki?

Are you sure you're ok?

Just a second.

Can you go now?

Ok?

Why is your shoelace untied so many times?

Kanzaki?

Kanzaki?

Kanzaki!

Hey, Kanzaki!

After that, I took him back to the car.

And I brought him to the hospital.

But the reason was unknown.

I've heard that he woke up the next morning.

I already left him before the sunrise and went back to Tokyo.

I brought the car back to where we rented out.

Kanzaki got off from his work for about a month.

What does Kanzaki-san say about what happened?

I also wanted to ask him the same question when he comes back to the office.

But he started avoiding me.

When I tried to ask him, he dodges my question.

He doesn't answer my question.

After that, I quit my job.

So ever since then, I've never met him.

But I just couldn't forget about that shrine.

Later, I tried to find out about that shrine.

That's where we came across by chance.

So I didn't really know exactly where that was.

I went there again to check during the daytime.

As you noticed it on the video.

There is a wooden signboard.

It says that there used to be a shrine there.

The site, I mean.

And I saw there is a small building.

But there is no gateway or actual shrine we saw.

-There wasn't? -No.

What does it mean?

I don't exactly know what is going on.

But it's really spooky.

So I checked about it further.

So there used to be a shrine.

The Shinto priest who worked there had a mistress.

And she died in a strange way.

The mistress was found one morning in winter within that shrine.

She was found dead by intoxication of the drug.

Ever since the shrine was abolished.

I was the one who shot the video.

And I really don't know why .

At that moment, maybe we...

strayed into the underworld...

That's what I think now.

That girl...

who was in the video...

could have been the mistress who died there.

She could have been the ghost.

Possibly, you know?

I know it's hard to believe.

Video holder: Editor of the magazine

This is the video the freelance writer obtained.

The girl I met

-Aika-chan? -Yes, I am.

-Hey, nice to meet you! -Nice to meet you.

Do I have a different impression?

Maybe.

I thought you look more like a player.

I'm no player.

You look exactly how I imagined.

No, actually, you are more beautiful than I imagined.

What is that?

I thought a person with different impression comes up.

But you are more beautiful than I imagined.

My heart beats.

The video presented started

by a hidden camera.

-Have you eaten already? -No, not yet.

I had no time to.

-Really? Shall we go get something to eat? -Fine.

Where shall we go?

They met on the online dating web site.

This man took a candid shot.

The person who shot this video

used to be the director of adult video company.

He quit and he is now a freelance.

That man picks up a girl on the dating web site.

He takes videos of it and upload on the web to get money.

There was a group of black women.

A group?

So I tried to talk to them.

I said, "hey, hey, girls!"

And they started talking to me in Japanese.

What do we do from now?

From now?

Do you have enough time?

Sure I do.

-Shall we go somewhere? -Why not?

Where do we go then?

Is there somewhere you wanna go?

I let you decide.

Ok.

What about going to a hotel?

A hotel?

Oh my god.

Alright.

-Are you sure? -Yeah.

Ok.

But how much can you pay me?

How much do you ask me?

20,000 yen?

-Alright. -Are you sure?

Ok.

Ok, let's go then.

Hey, I live around here.

Instead of going to a hotel, you just come to my place.

Ok. Shall we?

Hey, wait.

What?

Isn't that a badger game?

I don't want that.

-You'll be entrapped? -Hey, I don't need that.

No, that never happens.

Let's go.

Two of them

made their way to the girl's apartment.

It's pretty much unexpected.

I imagined that you live in a sweet condo.

It's a convenient place to live.

It's pretty much old.

Please come in.

-Do we lock the door? -Yes, please.

-May I come in? -Sure, please.

A plastic bottle.

So, this is your room.

Looks more like a man's room.

Yeah...you can say that.

You read many comic books.

This is a room of my boyfriend.

You're kidding!

That's a problem.

Why?

Now you're scared.

No, I'm just kidding.

You got nervous?

Seriously, who's room is this?

My brother's.

-Are you sure? -Yeah, honestly.

So does your brother come back today?

No, he doesn't come back today.

Don't you worry.

All of a sudden...you gave me the impression...

just like a man...

-Do you want something to drink? -Yes, please.

-What do you want? -Could be anything.

-Could it be anything? -Yeah.

Aika-chan, you are strange.

-I'm absolutely normal. -No, not normal.

I suppose...

The girl says

this is her brother's room.

Would you please...

do me a favor?

A favor?

Can you listen to me?

Alright.

From now we...

start doing it, you know?

May I videotape that?

-Videotaping? -Yep.

Are you serious?

-I'm damn serious. -You're kidding!

No, I'm damn serious.

I'm a film director of xxx videos.

Are you filming for porn videos?

-Seriously? -Seriously.

-You're joking. -Yes I am.

Today I have no name cards, but I'll give it to you next time we see.

-That sounds fishy. -No, I'm telling you the truth.

Seriously?

I'm just asking you for the art of my work.

-By recording it? -Yeah.

-Of our sex? -Yeah.

Not only that.

I offer you extra 30,000 yen.

If you don't want to, I give up.

I'm not forcing you to do.

Plus extra 30,000 yen, that'll be fine with me.

-Are you sure? Can you show your face? -No problems.

-But are you sure that you're porn video director? -Yes, I am for sure.

Normally, we never say any jokes of this kind.

Not for your own pleasure?

No, no, no. I am indeed.

-Do you have a video camera with you? -Right.

No, you're kidding! Whew.

Let me see.

Oh, you really have it.

Jesus.

-I'm already recording you. -Already? Too early.

Just tell me when you start.

Looking good.

The way the camera moves is obscene.

Oh yeah? Do you think so?

It's not only the camera that is obscene.

That sounds hilarious.

One thing I have to confess you.

Confession? About what?

I really have to confess...

Please don't be mad at me.

No, I won't.

I had in mind that we may do this kind of shooting.

To tell you the truth...

I have been recording you right from the beginning.

Noway!

Is this the camera?

This is so small.

Didn't you notice it?

No, but I thought you are the old man listening to the radio.

I am not that kind of old man!

May I...

Hairs around your neck...

Ticklish! You're in too much hurry.

That I don't mind.

Then where do you mind?

-This part? I got it! -No ears.

So as many girls...

In fact, I'm also sensitive around ears.

Stop it. Stop it!

Ears are your weak points.

And it doesn't really matter, but...

But what?

My nipples are so sensitive.

I don't need that.

Sorry, I just got a phone call.

You don't need my informations.

I've got to know more about you.

What?

Yeah.

I got it.

Ok, bye.

So nipples are your weak points, right?

Cut it out!

What about your nipples, Aika-chan?

Not that much.

Not too much sensitive.

And what your elbows?

My elbows?

Come on. Right here.

Hey, ticklish!

Then I know you a little bit of a talent.

So, that's a good thing.

You feel ticklish, that's where you feel the most.

And here...

Right here. Collarbones...

That's ticklish.

Ok, you feel it right here.

What do you mean?

So now you're feeling a bit erotic.

Oh, you're teasing me.

What was the phone call about by the way?

Sure, no problems.

It seems like my brother is coming back soon.

What?

Is he coming back pretty soon?

No kidding. Are you sure?

Yeah, that's true.

I just go and take the shower.

-Are you sure about it? -Yes, I am.

-Hey, wait, is that really true? -Yeah, true.

Seriously? You're not kidding?

No kidding.

I'll be in trouble...

The things are going unexpected way.

Aika-chan is pretty much a strange girl.

I just keep the camera rolling as a documentary.

But I can't have sex with her in front of her brother.

So I may as well just flee today.

I might flee.

Ok.

Hey.

Aika-chan.

I've got to tell you.

If your brother is coming back, why don't we go to another place?

If you have another plan today, maybe we could meet some other time.

Hey, are you listening to me, Aika-chan?

I will take the video of you all naked, how's that?

I'm coming in!

I take the video from the bottom to up..haha.

What the hell...

Are you her brother?

Are you a brother of Aika-chan?

Well...

Aika-chan...she was taking the shower.

I opened the door and...

all of a sudden, she's gone.

And the blood...

the blood is all over the place.

Excuse me?

Hello, excuse me?

Aika-chan's brother?

This is how this video ends.

Later, that man called the police.

As he came back to the room...

The dead body that looked like a mummy

is totally gone.

And there was no trace of blood in the bathroom.

The man who lived there has been already missing when the video was taken.

The writer who gave me this video did a research.

The man who lived there was selling something illegal.

He got into some troubles and was abducted.

He was with his sister then.

They both were abducted and gone.

Well, I don't think they both are alive anymore.

What is this video then?

Maybe ghosts?

Ghosts...

Video holder: Film producer

I came across to get this video by chance.

My friend runs a construction company.

That company dismantled the resort facility that was closed down to built a new hotel.

So he entrusted the dismantlement to the subcontractor.

This is one of the videos that recorded within the facility before the dismantlement.

I'm making some weird movies, so he gave it to me.

The shadow at the window

It looks like a Japanese style hotel.

I have no idea what that is.

Which way do we go?

We go to the right and straight ahead.

There?

Hey, I can't.

All the chairs are fallen down.

What the hell?

It's scary. No lights can reach there.

The room is huge.

It's so messy.

Look, look at the ceiling!

It's ruined so badly.

So many shards of glass.

Yeah, so many. Watch out not to step on them.

Is it an assembly hall?

Let me have a look.

-Here, there's a stage. -Yeah, it seems like.

Yes, this is a stage.

In the building recorded on this video

used to be a resort facility now abolished. And the video was found here.

One of the professional video production companies could have made this video.

I think they intended to release it as a straight-to-video.

There is a reporter girl and a director.

And there's an assistant director.

With not so much of a budget. It is not for the TV program.

What they were trying to do was

an old-fashioned type of exploration at the psychic spot.

That kind of video.

By using an unknown actress

did they try to make a video of exploration of a psychic spot?

Ok, fine. Go ahead.

It's the blind end.

Where?

-Here. -Yeah, true.

Hey, what is that?

It is blocked by the wooden board.

-You mean this? -Yeah, you go and check.

How?

How?

You touched it without any hesitation.

What is this really?

Could be a window?

I have no idea.

It's a thin wooden board.

Hey, what's going on?

No, this is my problem with the light.

-Funny. -Please turn it on.

No, it doesn't work.

Shindo, take out the battery.

Ok.

Come on, quick!

Please. Hurry up.

Look, she's afraid.

Hey!

Come on, hurry up, Shindo!

I'm sorry, but I have no battery with me now.

You're kidding!

-I don't have it now. It's in the car. -Why didn't you bring it with you?

I'm sorry. I didn't confirm.

Oh, no. Give me a break.

I just go back and get it.

Will we be left alone?

Don't worry, I do you no harm.

Please come back ASAP.

The assistant director left

in order to go and get the battery of the light.

Could you pass me the flashlight?

Ok.

Ok.

I think this will work for the moment.

Well, then.

Now, you talk about some scary experiences you had.

You mean, now?

Right.

Just give me some time. I have to think.

Ok.

-Can you think of anything? -Yes.

Ok, I give you some time.

Now the camera is rolling. Tell me about it.

Ok.

I have the sixth sense.

-Really? -Yes.

It was ten years ago.

I visited Kawaguchi lake in Yamanashi prefecture.

There was a fest near the lake and it happened on our way back home.

The fest was held until close to midnight.

My father wanted shortcut to be back home.

It was close to the forest of Aokigahara which is very famous.

You know about that forest.

And we decided to go through Aokigahara.

Since it's the sea of trees, no street lights or no car pass by.

I felt so scared.

Then I saw a man.

He didn't even have a flashlight.

He only had backpack on his back. He was walking alone.

You see, it's so frightening. Without any lights, without any electricity.

How could he be making his way all alone?

I got scared and I told my mother about that man.

Then, she didn't see anybody.

That's impossible.

I also told my father and my brother...

Just a moment, please.

What is it?

Takada-san!

I'm recording the video now!

Takada-san!

You come here!

Takada-san!

You'd better go.

Takada-san.

So, what do you want?

Takada-san.

Let's go.

What the hell?

Takada-san.

What is it?

The assistant director kept calling the name of the director.

So two of them headed to him.

Takada-san.

Where are you, Shindo?

Takada-san.

Shindo-san.

Shindo-san.

Why are you here?

What are you talking about? You called me, that's why!

What do you mean? I called who?

You just kept calling me, that's why we are here!

Was I calling you?

Was I calling you, Takada-san?

-Yes, you were. -No, I wasn't.

Yes, you did!

-He was calling me, right? -Yes, he was.

No, I wasn't.

The assistant director insists that he didn't call anyone.

We stopped shooting, you know?

Because you kept calling me, we came out.

What are you talking about?

Why don't you just apologize?

You really should.

Ok.

I'm very sorry.

And the battery?

Yes, I brought it with me.

I forgot to switch off the camera.

Ok, here we go.

Alright, we start again.

Sorry for keep you waiting, Tomomi-chan.

Someone is standing over there.

Where?

On the second floor at very end to the left.

It's too dark to see.

I try to shoot it.

Shindo, give me a light around my hands.

I'm sure you can see it.

Just hold on.

That must be it.

Well, maybe it just looks like that way.

Someone's there.

I don't really know.

Shindo-san, take a look at it carefully.

I just try to confirm.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Is anyone there?

No reactions.

Ok, we include this in the video. Let's go over there.

We go over there now.

Are we really going there?

Yep.

Ok.

In order to verify the shadow at the window,

Three of them headed to the second floor of this building.

-Behind here. -Yes.

-Let's go. -Ok.

It's here.

Is anyone there?

Hey, what's that?

Maybe it's a bad joke of someone.

But it's this that was standing here.

Shall we go in then?

It's open here.

Ok, let's go in.

That must be it.

This must be drawn by someone as a prank.

You misunderstood.

No?

But it was standing right over there.

At the window?

Here.

What do you think, Shindo?

It can't be seen from outside.

Sure it can.

Well... from this angle...

It is hard for this to be seen from outside.

But it was really standing there.

-Wasn't that a stain like this? -No.

Ok, shall we try then?

Shindo, you just go downstairs and take a look.

We remain here to watch.

Can I have the flashlight?

Why?

The battery ran out.

Why didn't you prepare the spares?

Sorry...

You shouldn't be sorry!

-I'll go and get it. -Tomomi-chan, give it to him.

I'll give it back soon.

Run! Hurry up!

Run faster!

How does this stain look like from outside?

They decided to verify it.

I arrived!

Ok.

Could you stay away from where you are?

We got it!

-Tomomi-chan. This I think... -Yes?

Ok.

It is hard to look at the stain from this angle.

Seriously?

I'll take a picture of it. I'll bring it to you. So please confirm this.

Yes, please.

Could you just stay away form there once?

Tomomi-chan, if it is not this stain we saw, what do you think that was that we saw?

I have no idea.

Thank you.

Watch your back!!

What?

What is it?

Nothing's going on.

Why was he yelling at?

What's going on?

Shindo, what happened?

-Shindo-san! -Hey, Shindo!

-Shindo! -Shindo-san!

What's happening to you, Shindo?

Maybe we should go down.

What happened?

Takada-san, could you shine a light on the stain?

Why?

There's nothing.

We'd better hurry up our way to Shindo.

What's wrong with you?

Can you shine a light on that stain again?

I'm telling you, there's nothing here!

Hey, Tomomi-chan!

You see, there's nothing going on.

We'd better hurry!

What the hell is wrong with you?

This is Shindo's camera.

Shindo! Shindo, are you there?

Shindo! Shindo!

Hey, Shindo! Shindo!

Wake up! Shindo!

Hey, the light! What's wrong with this?

Hey, Shindo!

Shindo!!

What's happening here?

I just changed the battery.

*According to the shooting conditions, the videos are mostly dark from now on.

I fell down! Come here quick for help!

It's too dark to know what's going on!

I'm here!

Where?

Here!

Shout at me!

Takada-san, I'm here!

Tomomi-chan!

Just keep shouting!

I'm here. Please come quick!

Tomomi-chan.

I'm here!

Thank God! Are you alright?

Sorry, I fell down.

Does your leg hurt?

What the hell was that stain?

I have no idea, but this place is strange.

I lend you my shoulder. Can you stand up?

Let's go back to the car.

I've got to find Shindo as well.

Do you know which way?

-Yes. -What do you mean yes?

It's too dark to know where we are!

Hold my video camera.

-You saw something! -No.

-Yes, there was something! -No, there wasn't.

You see?

There's nothing.

Yes, there was.

What the hell is that?

It stopped.

The video kept showing the darkness.

and it ended.

So you see?

I just couldn't help asking people what that was.

I asked them who they are.

The director was rolling the camera, so he was not in this video.

But the girl and the boy were in the video.

But no one knew about them.

Have you ever seen them before?

No, I have no idea who they are.

It's quite an old video for sure.

The size of the monitor is the standard one.

Now the facility with that stain is now all dismantled.

The resort hotel that is newly reconstructed

is still open now.
