Huh? What?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Where's the rest of it?
Not here. Shit.
Fujita!
Yeah?
21,500 yen.
- What? - It's gone.
Where'd you put the money?
Hey, don't worry. It was a…
- An investment. - What?
- Don't tell me it's gone? - Kaho…
I…
I think I found something way better than a few thousand yen.
Hmm?
A collection of music videos from an idol group.
Underground, unknown, called Dream Succubus.
TAX INCLUDED PRICE ¥21,500
Are you serious?
You took the money for this?
The plan was to save up and buy a new camera!
Mm-hmm.
- Trust me. You'll wanna see this. - What? Why?
Come on.
I'm gonna straight-up murder you.
They'll execute me for it, like Dancer in the Dark.
DREAM SUCCUBUS
Oof.
I guess I gotta ask,
are you, like, into this kinda stuff now or you--
It's not like that.
This music video was directed by Goro.
I like his work, so I bought it, and then…
Ah.
Right there. There.
Wait. Hey. No.
- Look. - What?
Look. There.
Wait. Is that…
Great day for believers.
Kaho…
We found it after searching for so long.
We're one step closer to finding the Human Vapor.
What no one's ever done before.
The Human Vapor.
It's gotta be.
No, no, come on, look up.
Stop that. I'll take your eye out.
- We've gotta start. C'mon. Go. - No, I'm not done.
It's already nine o'clock. We go live in five. My fans are waiting.
Four, three, two…
LIVE
Welcome to horror paradise!
Hi! We're back again with Fujita and Kaho's Terror Zone.
- I'm Fujita. - And I'm Kaho!
How are you killers tonight?
You ready to be terrified?
Of course you are, right?
Because you all know what we're about to share
is guaranteed to mess you up.
Our videos will have you shaking in your boots!
Huh?
Or whatever shoes you've got on!
Drop the footwear and get to the point!
Go on, quick. The main event.
Main event.
Tonight.
Now I bet you know what we're talking about.
It's everywhere you look.
Let me hear you say it…
You're so right.
The Human Vapor.
Enough theatrics! You saw the announcement.
Now you're here for the goods, super rare footage that will reveal,
once and for all, the true identity of the Human Vapor,
here on Fujita and Kaho's Terror Zone!
Oh, I hope you're ready for the scare of your life!
Kaho… roll it!
I don't get it.
I'm serious. It doesn't make sense.
I figured we'd crack at least 100 viewers.
Seven isn't quite 100, you're right.
So what do we do now?
Here, close your eyes.
Come on.
- Close your eyes. - Okay.
- Kaho, maybe it's time for you to host-- - No, I already told you.
It's just…
You're just, like…
You're way more beautiful than you think you are, Kaho.
Do you know that?
Ah, ah, ah! Ah!
Stop, that hurts!
So, hey…
You know if this keeps up, there's no way we're gonna make it.
Ow, that stings, stop! Ah!
Ow.
Sorry.
- Whoa, look at this. Right here. - Mm-hmm?
This is crazy, look.
What? Wait. Hey, hey. Look!
"@dadashow"
"I was very intrigued by today's video."
"I would like to purchase the details of your investigation."
What?
No way.
Is this real?
Uh, so should we…
at least, like, hear the offer?
- Yeah. - Mm.
Yeah.
Okay, I'll…
I'm gonna send them my phone number.
If whoever this is reaches out after that, then it's real.
Yo, Kaho. Take a look at this.
Isn't this crazy cool?
- That's been there forever. - Huh?
- Don't you remember? You found it. - What? When?
I don't know for sure, but…
Mom was there.
- She was? Really? - Yeah.
Is that…
- Yeah. It's them. - They're calling?
They're calling, they're calling, they're calling!
Uh, hello?
Yes. This is Kaho from Fujita and Kaho's Terror Zone.
Are you… are you "Dadashow?"
Uh-huh.
Well, of course, it's real, yes.
Yes, we looked into it.
The location of the building?
Uh…
We can't release those details, sorry.
Well, that depends on how much.
Yeah.
Huh?
- Sorry, a million? - What? A million?
Uh… Sure.
Uh…
No. Uh, yes.
Right, of course.
Yeah. I understand, yes.
I do. No, no, no, that's completely fine.
Thank you, that's quite…
Oh. They're gone.
What did they say?
That they want it. For a million.
A million? You're serious?
- Yeah. - Like, for real?
- Yeah, for real. - Oh, it's happening! It's happening!
We're actually doing it!
Great day for believers.
Great day for believers!
What did I tell you?!
Dadashow.
HUMAN VAPOR
There can't be a production company here. No way in hell.
Look, this is the best lead we've had to find this place.
If anyone knows, it'll be the company that made the video.
"In the Socks."
There. Up there.
- My mom's not home right now. - So we can do whatever we want.
Yeah!
We could get some snacks and play at the arcade!
Whoa. Did you see her face? That, like, bruise thing?
Fujita?
Just… be normal in there. Don't say anything weird or whatever.
Obviously. I know.
Okay. Step one, knock.
What is that?
No, no, no, that's all wrong. I need to see a cat, okay?
A real cat. A cat in heat. Like you're trying to attract…
Go in!
No, no, you're not listening! I need you to really embody the cat.
Hey! That's… Cut. Cut! Cut, okay?
Imagine starting the meow like a siren. A warning.
- Okay. I'll try. - Ready? And… action.
- Excuse me, who are you? - Oh! Uh…
Well, I'm, uh… Uh…
- Sorry, I… - Say you have an interview.
- You saw the listing. - I saw the job listing on your…
Website.
I came to be the director's apprentice.
I told you not to improvise.
- Do you have a resume? - I, uh…
No. Cut!
RESUME FUJITA FUJIKAWA
My name is Fujita Fujikawa.
Mr. Goro, sir,
it's such an honor to meet you.
Can I just say
I am a huge fan of your work. All of your work.
You are imitating my fashion.
Who is this guy?
He's weird.
I'll do anything, sir.
- Do you know how to drive? - Yes.
Can you work a tailgate lift?
Of course, and I have my color certification.
Unnecessary.
Yesterday, what did you have for lunch?
A hamburger.
Your favorite ingredient to add to miso soup?
I don't really like it.
- You ever hit another person? - Never, sir.
How old when you stopped bathing with your mother?
I don't really remember my mother.
Languages you know?
Three, Mr. Goro.
- What about German? - I speak some.
Then speak some.
Fujita, come on, do it. You have to.
Right, you got this, buddy.
All this to say, uh,
I'm a big fan.
I love all your work, but, uh,
especially your music videos.
There was one you did for Dream Succubus.
- Wagamama Nightmare. - Wagamama Nightmare.
You shot it in a warehouse.
It blew me away.
Sorry to interrupt.
You should try it.
No one makes lemonade like she does.
What?
Wait a second. That doesn't look like lemonade.
What did she just give you?
How is it?
It's, um…
It's orange juice?
What?
What the…
So,
you passed the test.
In a world of lemonade sheep,
you saw the orange juice and told the truth.
Welcome aboard.
Those oranges come from my hometown in Ehime. I squeezed them myself.
With my bare hands.
Isn't that marvelous?
The human body is truly beyond compare.
A machine can't deliver such exquisite taste.
The Wagamama Nightmare music video was filmed in an abandoned warehouse.
Where is it?
I've always been curious, sir.
Oh, well,
the band's manager found it for us. His name is Kenta.
Where is he now? Is he still working as a manager?
I don't know where he is.
He said something about wanting to be an actor.
I wouldn't put it past him. He's a slippery one.
Hey, Fujita.
- That's Mimi. - What?
Mimi. She's part of Dream Succubus.
Maybe she can tell us.
Sorry, are you
Mimi from Dream Succubus?
Yeah.
Maybe you know… something about what might've happened to Kenta?
No. I have no clue.
Yo, there. Look!
KENTA SUMERAGI
There he is. I knew it.
Yeah, good call.
Come on, Kaho, let's get you in there. Come on. Move.
- No, I told you. - It's your turn.
You go in. Like you did with Goro.
No way! You know it would be weird for a guy to go in there alone.
Wear a disguise then, I don't know.
Kaho.
Think of the money. Think about that.
We see Kenta, find out where the building is,
and we earn a million!
Yeah, I know, it's just that I…
I don't want anyone to see how I look.
That's fine, yep!
You just wanna go the rest of your life only talking to me, only eating with me,
and avoiding the rest of the world.
It's not like that. It's not like I chose this stupid face.
- Go to hell! - I know you didn't choose it! I know that!
But you can't keep hiding from the world and being sad about it forever!
- Now, get in there! - What do you know? Leave me alone!
No! Stop!
Open the door! Hey!
Ah, come on… Hey!
Kaho! Kaho? Please.
Is that what you wanna hear? I'm begging you!
Okay? Could you please do it? Could you please?
Open up!
FUJITA FUJIKAWA
Ah, welcome!
- Is… is Kenta free? - Kenta's with someone at the moment.
In the meantime, we can offer you a table so you can wait for him, if you'd like?
Okay, sure.
Great! Right this way.
We have a customer coming in.
Welcome!
Kaho.
Kaho?
Can you hear me?
If you can hear me, say something. Are you okay in there?
Wait, was that Mimi?
That was Mimi!
That was Mimi, wasn't it?
Kaho?
Here you are. It'll just be a moment.
Can you hear me? Are you okay?
Yeah, it's cool. I'll figure something out.
I can confirm that Kenta is on the other side of the room.
Seriously? Call him over!
It's okay, don't worry.
Another round!
Drink it down, keep it up!
Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
- A round of applause! - Hell, yeah!
- Whoa, hang on. You okay? - You hang on!
Excuse me.
Excuse me, miss?
I'd like to make this a night to remember.
How does that sound to you?
Pleasure to meet you. My name's Kenta.
Welcome to my world.
KENTA SUMERAGI
May I sit with you?
Nice and easy. Don't ask anything that could give away the game.
Just set the mood.
Uh, so, uh…
I… I don't…
- It's dark in here. - Yeah. Sorry?
Why don't I take those off?
- No, no. - Hey, it's okay.
Sh, sh.
No, I just…
Sh, sh, sh, sh.
You have such beautiful eyes.
Why would you hide them?
Careful now.
That's just him trying to butter you up.
Cheers then, miss!
Kaho, that's alcohol.
Probably strong.
Slow down. It's alcoholic.
Don't drink the whole thing. Just…
Mm.
Whoa. Nice. You want another?
Yeah.
Kaho, you okay?
The mood's probably good now. Let's ask him.
- For you. - Uh, thanks.
Yeah, thanks.
- I'll take another glass, actually. - Of course.
You've had enough. You don't need any more.
Yeah, I know! Shush!
Hmm? What was that?
Oh, uh…
- It was nothing. - Hmm.
I can't figure out why you'd wanna know where that abandoned building is.
- You shooting a movie? - No, a movie?
- I mean… Kinda. - Wait. Yeah, yeah, okay.
We've got big plans to shoot a horror movie.
Yeah, we've got
really big plans to film a horror movie.
In the movie, there's an idol…
There's an idol who comes back from the dead as a vengeful spirit.
- Kills other idols… - And then she, like…
Uh… She kills people, she kills more popular idols, one by one.
Uh, hey,
do you, like, need more actors?
It's just that the whole reason I got into this in the first place
was to be an actor.
- I work here for now, but… - Manager.
- Well… - We're looking for a manager.
We do need a new manager.
Like, someone to play him. The manager.
- I think you'd be perfect for it. - You think so? Really?
The movie opens on a wide shot of the abandoned warehouse.
And then, a ways away, we see her…
The ghost of the dead idol.
The new girl group is coming.
They're shooting a music video at the warehouse,
and they don't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Until our girl group's manager,
who was just helping out on set, all of a sudden…
All of a sudden, he feels a damp, clammy, cold hand--
Wait, wait, stop.
You said it opened on the group arriving at the warehouse?
- Then… - Hmm?
Nobody quite knew why, but that day, there was a chill in the air…
There's an old abandoned factory in Katsushika. I think it's still there.
It's funny, ever since I was a kid, people had talked about it being haunted,
so I always stayed away. Until that day.
Okay, ladies, we're here. Everyone out.
Hey! We might have to leave. Keep the van running.
- Tenga! - Sir?
If anyone asks, you tell them you're with the Tokyo Film School.
- You hear me? - Yes, Mr. Goro.
It was the perfect location for the shoot, so I recommended we use it.
It's hard to put into words, honestly,
but there was something about that place.
Something… wrong.
And then, we were just about to start shooting at the back of the lot…
There.
Hey, I got that.
Uh, Kenta…
I don't wanna be here. I'm scared.
Can you give me a hug?
- No, I can't give you a hug here. - Why not?
I'm really scared.
Anna.
You know I don't like waiting.
Mimi, pull yourself together.
You know idols aren't allowed to date.
And action, action!
These six devils will haunt your dreams tonight!
- Miho! - Mai!
- Mimi! - Ayaka!
- Yuri! - Anna!
Dream Succubus!
Wagamama nightmare

What? What's the matter?
You forgot the choreography. Again! Kenta!
- On it! - First positions! Starting again!
What's wrong?
- Kenta. - Yeah?
Look.
What are you looking at? Is there something there?
No. It's nothing.
Good. Back to one! I wanna get this in one take!
Places, everyone! Let's go!
It wasn't nothing. I saw it too.
But I explained it away at the time. Thought I was just imagining things.
But then I saw the finished music video, and I knew…
- Come on… - Oh, Leo…
- I love your skin. It's so pretty. - Smooth, right?
- I've got a new skincare routine. - Ah, you're cute!
- Look at you! - Okay, hands off the face now.
That's enough!
We all had a lot of fun… before…
Mm… Mm-hmm.
Whoa! Hey! You okay?
You okay? You gonna puke?
You all right?
Yeah? Hey.
You okay?
- Yeah, all good. - Right.
Oh, whoa!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
I told you not to drink so much.
You know how much that puke cost?
Please shut up.
Whatever. We got the address, didn't we?
Once we tell Dadashow, we get paid.
- If they're telling the truth. - So it was worth it.
Katsushika Ward, Tateishi Kita--
- We're not going there now? - Obviously.
No! You can't make me!
- I wanna go home. - Get in the van.
- I wanna have a bath, I stink. - Trust me, I know.
- I'm tired. My head hurts. - Okay, got it.
- I don't feel good. Hmm. - Okay, directions.
As soon as we have the money,
you can get that treatment you always wanted.
Okay. Thanks, bro.
Okay, well in that case…
I guess I'll be on camera too.
What? For the live streams? You wanna host?
- You changed your mind? - Quit it.
- Awesome! - No. Hey!
You're gonna host? Hell yeah!
Great day for believers!
- All right! - You're so loud. My head.
We're gonna have a million subscribers, baby!
Yo, could you-- I'm gonna puke. Slow down!
This is the creepiest place.
Let's just get what we need and get outta here.
Hey! Kaho, check it out!
What? Where?
Is that the window?
- Is it? Looks right to me. - No, not the one.
We're looking for a blue door.
Fujita, Fujita.
Uh?
Look, right there.
- That's the one. That's the blue door. - Yeah.
Here it is.
Okay…
Let's not mess around.
We need to get more lights on.
- What? - J… just find a light switch.
Wait, are you scared?
I've made peace with my fear, so…
That's why I'm a true horror connoisseur.
What does that mean?
Are you doing that?
- No. - What?
Who turned the lights on? What happened?
What if someone lives here?
There's no way.
Unless it's him?
The Human Vapor isn't going to pay the electric bill every month.
Right, yeah.
Whoa.
- Fujita! Look! - What?
- Down here. - What is it?
- Uh… - Where do you think it goes?
Right.
Come on, let's go.
What is this place?
Whoa.
What's over there?
There's something there! It's him!
What the hell?
- It's just a cat. - Oh.
What are you doing all the way down here?
Fujita, look.
We can get through here.
Okay?
RECORDING
- I… I think something's there. - What?
- Where? - Look, look, look, there.
Fujita?
What is it? Fujita?
- Kaho. - Yeah?
Look.
Hold this.
What?
The Human Vapor.
You think it's him?
It has to be. Look at it.
Just look…
Why isn't he moving?
He must be asleep.
What do you mean, asleep?
Whoa…
CALLING DADASHOW
The customer you have dialed is not available…
They're not answering.
- If you wish to leave a message… - Leave a message then.
Hi, this is a message for Dadashow.
This is Kaho, from the Terror Zone.
I can tell you where the abandoned building is.
I even took some videos at the site, so…
Call me back, please. The sooner the better.
Thank--
What?
What's going on?
- Uh… - What's going on?
- There! - What? Stop it!
- W… what's it doing? - What is this?
Look!
- What? What are those? - Dominoes?
- Did someone set a trap? - Record player?
No, don't touch it!
- What do we do? - I don't know! Wait…
Is that… music?
- What? - Wait a second.
Hide! We gotta hide!
- But where? - Down there!
Do you know what this song is?
- "Ellie My Love." - Who's Ellie?
It's a song by Southern All Stars.
I think it came out before you were born.
Ellie
My love
So sweet
Ellie
My love
So sweet
Ellie
My love
So sweet
Ellie
My love
So sweet…
Greetings, listener.
Go right ahead
and make a wish.
Your target is Saburo Otomo.
I just faxed you the details.
Kill him immediately.
- What did he say? - He's gonna go kill a guy.
Ellie
My love…
So sweet
Fujita, no!
It's dangerous! Don't go.
No, stop! Don't!
You'll get yourself killed! Fujita!
Ellie, my love…
What the hell was that?
What just happened?
I think
that song that was just playing
must be some sort of trigger.
Wait, so,
when this specific song is played he…
he… what? Turns into a human?
Exactly, and then
his orders print out over there,
and he carries them out.
So what you're saying is… That's impossible.
I'm saying the Human Vapor is being mind controlled.
He's not
acting of his own free will.
Hey, Fujita.
- Should we be telling someone? - Telling them what?
That the Human Vapor's got another target.
If we call the police now, we might be able to stop him killing again.
Stop him? No way. No, no, no, no. Hey, listen.
- Hey. We're not gonna call. - What?
We're gonna take it up a notch!
We need to get videos of the puppeteer controlling the Human Vapor.
Just think what that would be worth.
We could get way more than they promised at first.
- Isn't that kinda dangerous? - Ah, it'll be fine.
We go in, we get it done.
You and I, we're gonna get paid,
show off our prize,
then turn our backs on this town and leave it behind!
Gross, dude.
Bleh.
- I just… - What?
I don't know, you make it sound like our lives are awful, but they're not.
That's your opinion, but I don't agree.
Okay.
Shortly after 7:30,
police received reports of a car being attacked by the Human Vapor…
We gotta get back to the factory now, beat him there.
Fujita, look.
According to the Metropolitan Police,
the victim was Mr. Saburo Otomo,
president of the Fujishiro Syndicate.
Mr. Otomo was rushed to a nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
- Receiving reports that the Human Vapor… - Oh my God.
…first attacked him at work.
He managed to escape in his car, but was pursued by the Human Vapor…
Go, go, go!
Hurry! Come on!
He's turning back into a statue.
Oh shit.
This is so crazy.
So, if someone is controlling him, why does he come all the way back here?
I bet this is like his respawn point, you know?
- "Respawn"? - It's a video game thing.
It's where he starts.
Maybe he's programmed to go back to that spot.
Uh?
Who's that?
It can't be a coincidence. It's gotta be the person controlling him.
- They're coming. - Quick! In here!
What are you doing?! Hey!
Sh! Turn it off! Turn it off, quick!
- It's Dadashow. - Who cares? Hang up!
Kaho from Terror Zone. Here I am.
You said the sooner the better.
