Den-Sen Page #3

It's clearly static.

That said, the picture is still clear.

Ah, the screen went black

and the video is over.

It was a nondescript image.

I feel absolutely nothing.

I feel normal, too.

I don't want to jump to my death...

and I can't believe that the DVD

had such an effect on my brother.

I see... a lot of footage for my job...

and there was nothing remarkable

about this.

More than an hour had passed since they watched the video,

and nothing unusual had happened.

So, the director and I watched it again together.

I have the expertise to judge the

technical aspects of the video.

I didn't run a full-blown analysis,

but it does not appear to have been

manipulated in any way.

With regard to the sound,

it appears there was some problem with

the camera while they were filming.

The image wasn't distorted, so it seems likely that

the mike just wasn't connected properly.

I don't consider myself a particularly

spiritual person...

but when it comes to blood relatives,

you want there to be some kind of clue.

The fact is that my brother jumped to

his death after seeing this video.

For us, it had no effect...

but I feel... like there was some purpose

in filming it where they did.

This video will ensure suicide.

People who see it will die...

The video disclaimer advises viewers to watch the

video again if it doesn't induce suicide.

I saw it a second time with the cameraman,

but nothing unusual happened.

Still, Kayo and the brother saw the video once

and immediately jumped to their deaths.

Seeing the video whilst half-believing its warning

has only served to deepen the mystery.

With two people dead,

there was only one thing left for us to do:

find where they filmed the video.

This building in the background is in

West Shinjuku, isn't it?

West Shinjuku?

The building on the screen is

right here, so

that means they filmed somewhere

around here.

They used a wide-angle lens,

so picking the exact spot is difficult,

but generally speaking,

you're probably right.

Then it was in Yoyogi?

Right.

Yoyogi

What's this?

It's something unusual.

This could be a clue.

Maybe.

That's the building, isn't it?

Yes.

In terms of direction

they were filming from Yoyogi.

Let's go.

Try taking the next right.

No, I think we should go left.

No, that's wrong, go right.

No, maybe left is better.

Over the next several days, our search for

the film site proved fruitless

This way.

It resembles the angle of

that building.

Look, isn't that the one in the video?

You're right.

It sure looks like it.

Can I help you?

You don't have permission to film here.

I want you to turn it off now!

Turn off the camera!

After talking with the landlord, who also

owned the building, we had to stop filming.

However, he later agreed to let us shoot the

view from the rooftop of his building.

I can't imagine why you'd want

to film from up here.

No, this is a good place.

Have you been here long?

Since I was in junior high.

The building is in pretty good shape.

I do my best.

This is the spot. No doubt.

Excuse me, do you recognise

this photo?

I'm not here to be interviewed!

You said you wanted to photograph

the landscape.

You say one thing, but do another.

That's why people hate the media!

Wait a minute. Wait!

Hey you, when are you going to stop filming?

The show's over!

Get out! I'm not joking.

We asked around at the

neighborhood stores,

and discovered why the landlord

had flown into a rage.

We went back to see the landlord and explained the

real reason we were interested in seeing the building.

He reluctantly agreed to let us film.

You're sure you're not from

the media?

Yes, it's exactly as I said.

We won't cause any problems.

I had a terrible time before!

Reporters have been coming every day,

since the accident.

If you could, please tell me

more about the accident.

It was exactly one year ago.

I'd like to forget it.

Tabloids write their distorted articles and in a flash

everybody knows they're talking about here.

No good complaining though...

She jumped from this roof -

a young girl.

She jumped? It was suicide?

The police thought it might be

an accident or a suicide...

but they couldn't figure it out.

Could they ID the girl?

Yeah, they did.

She lived right here.

But it wasn't her apartment.

It was some kind of fly-by-night office.

The girl... she worked at the office?

It was an odd company.

People coming and going at all hours.

I think... it might have been

a call girl service.

The girls that came were really young.

It had kind of a religious feel to it...

Is the office still around?

Hell, no! I kicked them out

after the incident.

The tabloids were saying it was

a religious cult. It was a mess!

Once that happens,

no one wants to move in.

I'm having trouble repaying my loans.

Things have finally calmed down...

I'm talking to you in confidence.

Keep quiet about this!

I understand fully.

I have no intention of using

this building's name.

By the way, do you know where

the company moved to?

How should I know?

I had to pay to get rid of them.

They claimed I violated the terms of the lease.

I had to pay a hefty penalty!

Young Girl Jumps to Her Death

in Broad Daylight

One year ago, the incident at the building only merited a

small article in the corner of the newspaper.

When I inquired at the police department,

they just said that the investigation was still pending.

This I interpreted to mean they hadn't

made any progress at all.

According to an article in a

weekly news magazine,

the company was a religious organization that

attracted women with eating disorders.

I enquired at the magazine, but they responded that

they couldn't divulge any information about the incident...

since there was a lawsuit pending from

the company over the article.

We tried conducting our own follow-up investigation,

but there wasn't anything to go on.

The DVD only became more enigmatic.

From that odd object in the corner,

there's no doubt that we found

the right building.

This is the place where the girl

jumped to her death.

Kayo and Miss Nakagawa's brother saw the

image of this building on the DVD...

and immediately committed suicide.

Even if it's just a coincidence,

there has to be something about that building.

Revenge from the grave

by the dead girl?

We can say anything we want,

but no one is going to believe us.

It could have something to do

with the place itself.

It might have something to do with the surroundings being filmed,

rather than the rooftop of the building itself.

Like someone dying in a

construction accident?

Couldn't say...

but those things happen on

building sites all over the country.

We'll just have to check

it out on the net.

That company must be connected

in some way...

Maybe we could set up a trap.

We could put information up about the DVD

and see if anyone knows anything.

We might get some information.

We might even get in touch with
