THE MIRAI SHIDA SHOW

Hi, and welcome to my show,

"Sneak Peek with Mirai".

I'm your host Mirai.

I'll be showing you things

I find fun and interesting.

Your also get a peek of what

our guests are really like!

Today, we have a very special guest!

Please welcome Haruna Kawaguchi!

Hi, everyone! Thanks for inviting me!

Welcome!

You know, this is our second

job together!

That's right!

The first time we worked together

was for that mobile show.

You taught me so much!

No, no. Don't mention it.

Do I sound bossy?

We're in the same school

and agency but...

We didn't really knew each

other before that job.

- We do now. -Yes!

We took the train together,

talked all the way.

But you seemed kind of down.

Was something wrong?

Hey!

Ever wonder why we take the train?

Other actors have their own

car and driver.

"Don't spoil actors!"

That's our agency's motto.

I bet they won't give us

a car until we become big stars.

I guess you're right.

So, why were you down?

Hey!

You were in the school radio club?

What? Well, I was, in junior high.

I was in the radio club too.

Yes, I know.

I made announcements everyday.

That was a lot of fun.

It was. But I had more fun

doing interviews.

- You? With a camera? -Yes.

I liked cameras before

I started acting.

Really? Imagine that.

Mirai.

You're avoiding something, aren't you?

Avoid what?

This! Today's topic for our show!

"GHOST VIDEOS" -Oh... that...

Wait...

- One of the letter's wrong. -What?

The first letter isn't spelled that way.

We should cut and fix that.

Don't be silly! You can't talk

your way out this time.

Darn it... It's only a video.

- I can't see how this is

good for the... -What?

I don't think ghost videos go

with the show.

I can't see how this is any fun.

But your viewers sent

these videos. Just for you.

You can't ignore your audience!

Come on. This is my show.

Let's start watching!

The frame looks square.

It's probably old.

What is this?

It's the girl's bathroom.

What's gonna happen?

Just watch the video.

Creepy... Where is this?

How should I know.

So... What's happening?

Nothing, yet.

Do you hear anything?

Just... the wind...

This bathroom reminds me of someplace.

Come on.

Bathrooms all look alike.

Hey!

This isn't the DVD I gave you!

- You idiot! -I'm sorry!

Maybe we should start over... I

make the decisions, not you!

We're gonna keep shooting!

The door, just opened...

This could be a real ghost video!

Really?

Actually, there's always some

kind of trick behind these things.

- Let's watch it again. -No way!

Don't be such a fraidycat.

Wait!

Hey! It's just getting interesting!

Is this the same video?

It should be.

Looks different...

It's the same video.

That's a hand... right?

What is that!

Was that there before?

Let's pause.

Don't do that!

What?

I can':
!

I told you this wasn't

the same video!

- I think you're right.

- What is this!

Can't watch...

Someone had to be in there, right?

Maybe they hid in the next toilet.

That's impossible!

You have to climb over the wall!

Then, they must have edited it!

Mr. Tachibana, what do you think?

Didn't look like it was edited to me.

I'm getting freaked out.

Don't worry! It has to be fake!

You said this could be real!

Sorry, I was joking.

Even if it were real, this

has nothing to do with us!

That's not the point... Besides,

you can't catch ghosts easily.

All the ones on the Internet

are all fake too.

How do you know that?

Few years ago, I tried to catch ghosts.

But I got nothing.

Where at?

Myjunior high.

My school is very old.

There were a lot of ghost stories.

There's this one story...

Once, there was this teacher.

She was bullied badly.

She hanged herself in the

girl's bathroom.

They found her dead, grasping the door.

There were rumors... That some

had seen her ghost.

The other stories followed.

Hers was the first.

And you tried to catch her on tape?

There's more. A shower,

just turns on by itself.

And there's a face in the

second floor window.

Also, a ghost of a girl who

jumped off the roof...

Stop! I don't want to know.

I'm sorry. Got carried away...

Anyway, you couldn't tape any

of them, right?

Not a single one!

So you don't have to worry.

Thank God... Mr. Tachibana,

Mirai's pretty freaked out.

Let's cancel the recording.

Stop now?

You're the one who wanted

to scare them.

To give the show more excitement.

But she looks pretty pale.

Besides, that's not the

DVD you prepared.

Well, it's not.

All right then.

Cut!

Let's call it a day.

Why stop?

Is it because of me?

I didn't mean to cause any problems.

I can do this. I'm an actress.

There's more videos, right?

- Some, but... -Mirai,

no one's forcing you.

I can'tjust give up on the job!

Mr. Tachibana, let's continue.

Let's roll.

Okay!

Let's watch the next video!

Haruna, if you may.

- Are you sure you

want to see? -I'm sure.

Hey...

How?

Don't tell me...

this is your school?

I don't understand.

This place...

It's my junior high...

Can't be!

You're kidding, right?

It's definitely my school...

Mr. Tachibana, what's the

meaning of this?

Where did you get this?

- Did you know it was her school?

- Course not.

I tried to tell you...

When I first watched it,

I say nothing like this...

What?

Stop the DVD!

This is so weird.

Stop it g What the

f*** are you doing!

Sh*t!

- Why won't it stop!

- What is this!

What is that!

Damn it!

What're you trying to pull!

It's not me!

It's not me either!

Quit lying! Look at them!

It looked like it was happening now.

That's impossible!

You planned this, didn't you!

Stop! How could you!

This is too much! Who's idea was this?
