Sorry to bother you, but..." Takuya: "Did you not catch that? We're closing now!" Woman: "I see... I must be the last customer, then." Takuya: "Yep! Thanks for your patronage." Woman: "But I'm in a pickle... I don't have anywhere else to go." Takuya: "What?" Woman: "I don't have a home, or friends, or anything. What should I do?" Takuya: "Uh... well... I don't know what to tell you." Woman: "I know! Can I go to your place?" Woman: "Your home. You don't mind, do you?" Takuya: "Uh, that's a little..." Manager: "What are you doing?" Takuya: "Manager! Help me out here. This customer is..." Manager: "Customer? What customer?" Takuya: "What do you mean? She's right here..." Takuya: "Huh?" Takuya: "She was just there..." Manager: "Look, we've still got cleaning to do. Get in the kitchen, now!" Takuya: "Uh, right..." Takuya: "I'm back." Marie: "Welcome home!" Takuya: "I'm so worn out. The last customer was this weird lady..." Lady: "We've been waiting for you." Takuya: "What are you doing here?" Marie: "Huh? You invited her, didn't you, Takuya?" Lady: "I appreciate the invitation, young man." Takuya: "C-Can we have a word outside?" Lady: "I'd rather not..." Tazuya: "No, I insist—" Lady: "No. No, don't!" Lady: "Stop! You want to throw me out, don't you?" Takuya: "Just... get over here!" Lady: "I'm not leaving! I'm not! That hurts!" Marie: "Takuya, you're..." Takuya: "This is seriously not okay! Try it again and I'll call the cops!" Takuya: "What, do you have something else to say?" Lady: "Just you wait. You're going to end up just like me!" Takuya: "I'm nothing like you! Damn it!" Takuya: "What? What is it, Marie? What happened?" Marie: "Wh-Who the hell are you?!" Takuya: "Huh? What are you talking about?" Marie: "Just get out, now! Or I'll call the cops!" Takuya: "Whoa, stop! I get it! What's gotten into you?!" Manager: "What? You work here? I don't remember hiring anyone like you." Crowd: "Give it a rest already! I've never seen you before! I'm sure you've got the wrong guy." Takuya: "Hey..." Crowd: "Oh, I get it, you're selling something. Not interested. You can go now." Takuya: "Hey. Hey!" Takuya: "Why does no one recognize me? What's going on here? What happened?" Takuya: "I can hear her... That old woman is watching and laughing at me. What do I do now? I can't go home, I have no friends... Where can I go?" Takuya: "Where... do I go?" Waitress: "Sorry, sir, but we're going to be closing soon." Waitress: "Sir?" Takuya: "I see... I guess I'm the last customer." Waitress: "Yes, I guess so." Takuya: "But I've got nowhere else to go! Can I go to your place?!"

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain woman who has recently moved..." Akane: "I just moved here, and it's already my turn to clean up?" Akane: "I don't even remember the days for trash pickup yet." Akane: "I think today is recyclables?" Akane: "There they are!" Akane: "Thank you for coming!" Akane: "All done. I have to do this for the whole week, huh?" Man: "There." Akane: "Hey, wait a second!" Man: "Yes?" Akane: "Excuse me, but the truck just left with the recyclables." Akane: "And tomorrow is something different, so... if you could just take that back..." Akane: "But this is the special drop-off point, isn't it? Huh? This is the fifth Wednesday of the month, so the special truck is coming. You have to leave anything you don't want taken away out here before it comes." Akane: "What the heck is he talking about?" Man: "This is a kimono my girlfriend cares a lot about. She wants to make sure it doesn't go anywhere, so I brought it here." Akane: "But... if you leave it at the garbage drop-off, won't it be taken away?" Man: "It's the opposite. You have to leave it here, or it'll vanish." Man: "Oh, you must have just recently moved here, huh?" Akane: "Yes. Just a week ago." Man: "You should hurry and get your stuff, then. See? Everyone's here." Man: "I'd make it quick if I were you, before the purple garbage truck gets here." Akane: "A purple one?" Man: "Once the purple truck passes by, you won't have to worry about your stuff being taken." Akane: "What is he talking about? He's scaring me." Akane: "Okay, well, I should get going..." Man: "Hurry back with whatever you care about the most! Whatever's most important!" Akane: "What was with that guy?" Akane: "A purple truck... Wait, it couldn't be!" Akane: "Whatever's most important..." Akane: "It's still here! What a relief. Nothing's missing at all! I guess he was just messing with me. I got worried for nothing." Akane: "That garbage truck that passed me on the way back was purple, though. "Every fifth Wednesday in a month..." "The special collection truck will come by for confirmation after the recyclables truck has made its pick-up." "Once they have confirmation on an object, it will not be forcibly collected." What is this? I don't really get it, but nothing's missing, so I guess it doesn't matter." Woman: "Give it back! I'm begging you!" Akane: "What the..." Woman: "Please... it's..." Trash Man: "It's in the regulations." Akane: "Is it the fifth Wednesday of the month?" Woman: "Please don't!" Akane: "They really did take it from her." Akane: "Come to think of it, I haven't heard from Satoru in a while. Maybe he's busy with work? Or is he still upset about before?" Akane: "Satoru, are you listening?" Satoru: "Oh, enough already. I think we might need some space for a while." Akane: "Wait a minute! We fight all the time, but he always comes right back. He's probably just busy." Akane: "He's not answering... I'll try again later." Akane: "Nothing again. I guess I'll give up for today." Akane: "Hello?" Satoru: "Hello?! Akane, is that you?!" Akane: "Satoru? The reception is kind of rough. Where are you?" Satoru: "I have no idea where I am! You have some idea, don't you? Tell me where I am! Come on!" Akane: "Me?" Satoru: "You've gotta help me!" Akane: "I guess you really were..." Akane: "what I cared the most about." Satoru: "Hey! Hey, Akane!"

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain couple who were hiking in the mountains..." Sadayuki: "Man, I'm worn out." Rina: "It's definitely time to eat something." Sadayuki: "I just want to go home already." Rina: "What is it?" Sadayuki: "Look." Rina: "What do you suppose it is?" Sadayuki: "It's a tunnel. We saw the other end when we came in, remember?" Rina: "Did we?" Sadayuki: "Let's go through it. It's bound to be a shortcut." Rina: "Huh? Hang on!" Rina: "It's kinda creepy." Sadayuki: "It's fine. I'll hold your hand the whole time." Rina: "You'd better not let go!" Sadayuki: "Trust me. I promise I won't—" Sadayuki: "Huh? What the... We just went into the tunnel... How are we outside already?" Sadayuki: "Rina? Where are you? Rina? Rina!" Sadayuki: "Who is that?" Sadayuki: "There you are. Don't scare me like that!" Sadayuki: "What's wrong?! Rina?" Rina: "No!" Sadayuki: "Rina!" Doctor: "We sedated her, so she's calm now, but I've never seen a patient that terrified before." Doctor: "The fear seems to be affecting her physical condition as well as her mind. She's very weakened." Doctor: "What in the world happened to her?" Sadayuki: "I don't remember any of it." Sadayuki: "Something must have happened in the tunnel, but I can't..." Sadayuki: "Rina was finally able to talk a week later." Sadayuki: "What happened in the tunnel?" Rina: "I don't want to talk about it." Sadayuki: "I want to know." Sadayuki: "What happened to us?" Rina: "I don't want to talk about it." Sadayuki: "I really regret what happened. You've been through so much, but I don't remember any of it." Rina: "Please, break up with me." Rina: "And leave me alone." Sadayuki: "She stopped talking after that." Sadayuki: "But I kept visiting her in the hospital. Before I knew it, over six months had passed since what occurred in the tunnel." Rina: "Why won't you break up with me?" Sadayuki: "Rina?" Rina: "Why?" Sadayuki: "I want to share your pain. That's all." Rina: "You'll regret it if I tell you. I know for sure that you'll wish you could forget." Sadayuki: "I don't care. Please tell me." Rina: "As soon as we entered the tunnel, something felt off..." Rina: "We heard something behind us." Sadayuki: "What was it?" Rina: "It was the most terrifying moan I'd ever heard." Sadayuki: "A moan?" Rina: "We turned around, fearfully." Sadayuki: "Did we see what it was?" Rina: "And when we did..." Sadayuki: "Rina? Rina?! It can't be..." Doctor: "What happened?" Sadayuki: "Rina just... stopped breathing..." Rina: "Nothing was there..." Rina: "But we could clearly hear something, and it was getting closer." Rina: "So we ran... But we couldn't get out of the tunnel." Rina: "No matter how far we ran... or for how long..." Sadayuki: "After Rina died, she kept talking." Rina: "After a while, we started hearing a voice whispering into our ears, but we couldn't see where it was coming from. I kept screaming..." Rina: "You tried to calm me down, but I was so scared... So scared, I couldn't stop." Rina: "Time and space were warped inside that tunnel." Sadayuki: "Rina kept talking, morning, noon, and night." Rina: "We might have only been inside for a few minutes in reality..." Sadayuki: "And now..." Rina: "When we were inside the tunnel," Sadayuki: "It's been sixty years since we entered that tunnel," Rina: "you never let go of my hand." Sadayuki: "and she's still talking. Is that right?" Rina: "I think the things that lived in the darkness couldn't accept that..." Sadayuki: "They lived in the darkness?" Rina: "So I had no choice. I had to... I had to..." Sadayuki: "And I'm still listening to her talk. And then? What happened next?"

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain pair of sisters who get along well..." Minae: "We haven't talked this much in a while!" Wakaba: "Oh, it's pretty late already. I'd better get going. What time is it?" Minae: "Let me see..." Minae: "Huh? My watch is gone." Wakaba: "Did you lose it?" Minae: "When could I have dropped it?" Wakaba: "Well, it'll probably turn up." Wakaba: "Hey, speaking of watches, remember that thing from when we were kids?" Minae: "Remember what?" Wakaba: "You don't remember the clock man? "Be it a clock or be it a wristwatch, please be the one to give me one."" Minae: "Oh, right! How'd it go again?" Wakaba: "Depending on which one you chose, the monster would show up..." Minae: "And you'd get kidnapped!" Wakaba: "That's it! I used to be so scared about that." Wakaba: "Well, I'm going." Minae: "What's wrong? Are you not going?" Wakabae: "Onee-chan... Maybe the clock man took your watch." Minae: "Huh? Where'd that come from?" Wakaba: "Which was the right answer again?" Minae: "What are you talking about? I'm gonna go now, okay? See ya. Come to think of it, when I was little, I practically begged for a clock on my birthday... No, no, no! I want some kind of clock!" Mom: "You wanted a clock, right? Well, you can have a wristwatch." Minae: "Yay! Look, I'm just like Mom!" Wakaba: "Aw, I want one..." Mom: "Whatever you do, make sure you don't lose it." Wakaba: "I'm so jealous!" Minae: "I won't! I used to love it so much that I wore it all the time... But in the end, I lost that pink watch, too." Minae: "I should look for it sometime. Wow, it's pretty late. Time for bed." Minae: "Sonoko-senpai, I'm so sorry for all the days off I've been taking." Minae: "Oh, you don't wear a watch, huh? I actually lost mine the other day—" Sonoko: "Y'know..." Sonoko: "I think I made the wrong choice." Sonoko: "Time doesn't really matter to me anymore." Minae: "Uh, Senpai?" Boss: "Right. With Sakuragi, it was so sudden..." Boss: "Right. If you'll excuse me." Minae: "Um, did something happen to Sonoko-senpai?" Coworker: "Well, you know how she passed away suddenly?" Minae: "Wait, she passed away?" Coworker: "Oh, right. I guess you wouldn't know since you were out." Minae: "What? But... I just..." Minae: "When I saw her, what was going on?" Wakabe: "Onee-chan." Minae: "Why are you lurking there? Get in here!" Wakaba: "I finally remembered." Wakaba: "I think we made the wrong choice." Minae: "What wrong choice?" Wakaba: "Remember when we were walking back from piano lessons?" Wakaba: "You've had the wrong idea all along!" Clock Man: "Be it a clock or be it a wristwatch..." Wakaba: "Don't you hear that, Onee-chan?" Clock Man: "Be it a clock or be it a wristwatch..." Minae: "I don't hear anything." Wakaba: "I hear it..." Clock Man: "Be it a clock or be it a wristwatch..." Wakaba: "The clock man..." Clock Man: "Please be the one to give me one." Minae: "It can't be..." Minae: "What do we do? We have to pick one..." Wakaba: "I'm scared!" Wakaba: "A-A wristwatch!" Clock Man: "A wristwatch, then?" Clock Man: "Right..." Wakaba: "The watch was the wrong choice! That's why he took me away!" Minae: "No! No! No!" Minae: "No!" Clock Man: "Be it a clock or be it a wristwatch..." Minae: "Then... am I... next?" Clock Man: "Please be the one to give me one."

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain man who is spending his days listlessly after having his dreams crumble..." Protag: "Damn it, I can't sell any of this crap." Protag: "What's this?" Protag: ""To My Future Self"?" Protag: "What was this again? I don't think I've watched it since it was recorded." Protag: "Hi, my future self! How are you doing? Huh? Is that little me?" Protag: "I wonder, how old am I when I'm watching this?" Protag: "How long has it been since I graduated elementary school? I remember now. We made these when we were graduating elementary school. Did my dream come true in the future? I'm sure my future self was able to do it! And then at the class reunion, these DVDs surfaced when we dug up that old time capsule... I want to become a manga artist, and make a bunch of really great manga that'll get turned into anime... I might even be rich by the time you're watching this!" Protag: "Tough luck, kid. I gave up on that dream a long time ago. And then—" Protag: "Great, it froze. That's the problem with old DVDs." Protag: "Guess I'll hit up the convenience store." Protag: "I see. My future self didn't make my dream come true after all." Protag: "There's no point in living a life like that." Protag: "What the hell was that?" Protag: "I definitely don't remember saying anything like that. What did I just see?" Protag: "What the..." Protag: "Oh, crap!" Protag: "I gotta run!" Protag: "You guys? Wh-Why are you... I later found out that, after last year's class reunion, my classmates had started to disappear, one by one." Protag: "The only other surviving member of our class is a guy named Saitou Shigeru." Protag: "There has to be a reason why he survived." Shigeru: "A curse from your past self... Is that even possible?" Protag: "I-I'm just guessing here..." Shigeru: "What is it?" Protag: "Shigeru, did your childhood dream come true? And that's why you weren't cursed... Maybe that's it?" Shigeru: "I guess that could be it. Although I didn't remember what my childhood dream was until I watched the DVD." Protag: "The dream was nothing special, anyway. I'll get us something to drink. Make yourself comfortable." Protag: "What was his dream, then?" Shigeur: "H-Hi, my future self. Are you doing okay?" Bully: "Can't hear you! Do it louder!" Protag: "Come to think of it, Shigeru was kinda the designated target for bullying..." Shigeru: "M-My dream is..." Protag: "Wait, that's the same as my DVD. His must be cursed, too..." Shigeru: "Nice work, my future self. Soon our dream will come true. I knew I'd be able to pull it off." Shigeru: "My dream is for everyone in our class to..." Shigeru: "...they would always make fun of me, even when I asked them not to." Protag: "What is this?" Shigeru: "Those jerks... Those jerks! They deserve to die. But I bet my future self will be able to find them all and... There's only one left. Only one left, my future self." Protag: "Then they all died because Shigeru—" Shigeru: "Sorry for the wait." Shigeru: "See? Nothing special at all, right?"

Haruki: "Isn't this a temple? Should we really be in here?" Junya: "It's fine! C'mon, just trust me." Junya: "Ta-da!" Haruki: "What the heck?" Junya: "Crazy, right? They hold memorial services for dolls at this temple." Haruki: "Memorial services?" Junya: "They make a big bonfire so their spirits can move on." Haruki: "Wait, they're gonna burn them all?" Junya: "Don't burn me! Don't burn me! Wow, Haruki, you didn't have to be that scared!" Haruki: "Knock it off! And should you even be touching that?" Junya: "What does it matter?

Haruki: "Come on, let's go home!" Taro: "Let go of me! One time, when I was riding my bike really fast, I got into a fight with a car that came around the corner. My bike went, "bang!" The car went, "bang!"" Taro: "It hurt... It hurt..." Haruki: "Hey, Junya? Wait... Say something!" Mother: "Junya... why?"

Meiko: "What's wrong? You okay?" Tomoki: "That's it. I never understood why Misato changed her mind so suddenly. I guess it was Meiko... Damn it, that bitch!" Tomoki: "Hang on. Stay cool.

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai..." : "This is the story of a family who has moved into a certain home in the mountains..." Yuna: "Wow! It's huge!" Yoshinobu: "Okay, let's explore the house!" Yuna: "Okay!" Yoshinobu: "Wait up! Don't leave your dad behind!" Misako: "Is this really all right...?" Village Staff: "What do you mean?" Misako: "It's such an amazing house, and we just moved here..." Sae: "It's perfectly fine. Part of a tradition, in fact." Misako: "A tradition?" Sae: "Right. It's called the offering house." Misako: "The offering house...?" Sae: "It's written with the kanji for "new connections." We have an old tradition here of renovating houses, and then offering them to people who move to the village." Misako: "I'm sorry, I didn't get your name...?" Sae: "Oh, I'm Kamimura Sae, and I'm your next-door neighbor. These are just some herbs that we grow at my place. You're welcome to them." Misako: "That's so kind of you. Thank you." Sae: "Living in the country is something her husband had dreamed of for a long time..." Yoshinobu: "Okay, tomorrow we're gonna go fishing!" Sae: "But Misako, who had only ever lived in the city, found it to be unsettling." Yuna: "Fishing? That sounds fun! I wanna go!" Misako: "I could of sworn I heard something from the roof yesterday. Did I imagine it...?" Sae: "And in the afternoon, alone by herself in a big house, her anxiety only grew bigger." Misako: "Nooo!" Sae: "Drink this and try to calm down." Misako: "There was this... creepy old man inside of the house." Misako: "Do you think I've gone crazy from nerves?" Sae: "Misako-san, I don't think we can keep this a secret anymore. I'm pretty sure that was Sakuzo-san." Sae: "He was this home's previous owner, and only died recently." Misako: "He... died? Then..." Sae: "Whether his soul becomes a vengeful spirit that brings calamity to the village, or a spirit of bounty that brings us good fortune, will depend on the quality of the sacrifice given to his soul. The offering, in other words." Misako: "Wait... did you just say... offering?" Sae: "It used to be hard to find any candidates, but lately there seem to be a lot of young people who want to move out to the country," Misako: "Excuse me..." Sae: "so getting someone to come is as simple as announcing a vacancy." Misako: "I'm sorry... I don't understand." Sae: "There's nothing to be afraid of, Misako-san. Once your soul has been sacrificed, there'll be nothing to fear." Misako: "Would you stop for a second?! What the hell are you talking about?! What is this sacrifice crap?! Answer me!" Sae: "I knew it! Everyone gets mad when the truth comes out." Misako: "Seriously, just explain what is going... on..." Sae: "It's been a month since then, and Misako-san has forgotten all about what happened." Misako: "I want to go fishing with you two next time." Yuna: "Yeah! Let's go again." Yoshinobu: "I wasn't expecting that from you, Misako!" Sae: "She's a regular part of the village now." Yuna: "Let's go looking for rhinoceros beetles!" Sae: "The cursed markings on the house should be taking effect soon." Misako: "Oh, that sounds nice!" Yuna: "Yay! Rhino beetles, rhino beetles!" Sae: "I can only hope that she will prove to be an ideal sacrifice here, at the offering house."

Kyosuke: "Oh, from back then! You said I didn't have to pay the fare, as a gift for the birth." Driver: "Did I now? So, how's your kid doing?" Kyosuke: "Three years old as of today." Driver: "That'd mean I gave you that ride three years ago to the day! Well, this sure seems like fate!" Kyosuke: "This has turned into a whole thing... Right." Driver: "As for me...

Driver: "See, I happen to have a daughter of my own." Driver: "Her mother fell ill, and it made her want to become a doctor to help her." Driver: "But with the kind of money I make, that wasn't realistic." Driver: "Even after her mother died, she studied like crazy, and became a nurse." Kyosuke: "You must be really proud of her, then." Driver: "I am. But I think her kindness made the job really get to her. I could see her wearing down day by day." Driver: "She met a man around that time." Driver: "He was a relative of one of her patients." Kyosuke: "Huh..." Driver: "I was fine with it, and hopeful he could provide her some support. But the guy turned out to be a real piece of trash. He would act like a caring father at home, but he toyed with my daughter, beat her, and even leeched money from her. When I found out, I had trouble focusing on my own work. He was all I could think about when I was driving, and I... got into an accident." Kyosuke: "Is that right?" Driver: "From what my coworkers said, it was obvious at a glance that I couldn't have survived!" Driver: "And after that, Airi... well, she took her own life, as if she wanted to follow me." Kyosuke: "Airi?" Kyosuke: "No! I never wanted it to turn out this way!" Airi: "How did you want it to turn out, then?" Driver: "You've gotta feel relieved, right? She was going to tell your wife and your boss all about what happened, after all." Kyosuke: "Stop! Let me out, please!" Driver: "Come on, think of how fateful this must be. You've gotta stick around a bit longer! I'll even waive your fare, as a present for your daughter's birthday!" Kyosuke: "How did you know she's a girl?" Driver: "Well, of course I know, since we're gonna be celebrating with her." Kyosuke: "No, not my daughter! Please!"

Is that what you wanted to name me?" Takashi: ""Wanted to"?" Takuya: "Well, because you left Mom behind, you two never got married, and I was never born." Takashi: "A-Are you saying..." Takuya: "Yep, that's right. You're still inside that abandoned hospital." Kotomi: "Takashi, help! Don't go!" Takuya: "That's not right, Dad. You really want to save her, don't you?" Takashi: "Takuya... I'm just so, so scared..." Takuya: "It's okay. I know you can do it, Dad. Be brave." Takuya: "Please, Dad. Save me and Mom." Takashi: "Okay." Kotomi: "Takashi!" Takuya: "Whoops, looks like things have taken a dark turn for Mom. What're you gonna do, Dad? Run again?" Takuya: "Come on, she's coming right for you! What're you gonna do?" Kotomi: "Takashi... Don't leave me... Takashi..." Takashi: "This isn't right... It's not real... It's just a fantasy... I'm imagining all this!" Takuya: "And there he goes, running from reality again.

But I was worried about you..." Mayuko: "You don't have to apologize." Runa: "I'm just glad you came back to your senses." Mayuko: "Yeah. Sorry, but I have things to do, so I need to go.

But supposedly, before passing on, you'll look all over, including on your body, to find any clue you can about who you used to be. Most people give up after a while, and are able to rest in peace... But if they find their name written backwards in blood on the bottom of their feet, they get pulled back to the world of the living." Ishida: "So... what happens then?" Hanashima: "They wander the world while suffering the pain of death, never able to rest in peace." Ishida: "But... who would do something like that?"

A ghost pathway? Hell, maybe someone was being confined in there, still alive." Matsushita: "Maybe a ton of talismans, perfectly applied, with no gaps? Someone who looks exactly like me? An endless, empty darkness..." Matsushita: "I'm scared... The possibilities are terrifying." Matsushita: "Well, let's see what's inside." Matsushita: "There's nothing? That can't be right! I broke the rule!" Matsushita: "Something crazy is bound to happen later!" Matsushita: "I can't let my guard down. I bet everyone else who lived here saw something terrifying, and it just hasn't happened to me yet." Matsushita: "Well, bring it on, then!" Matsushita: "Come on, I opened the door! It's all the way open! Or is it one of those deals where opening it made me the monster?" Matsushita: "If that's the case, I wonder if someone new is gonna move in..."

Tsukahara: "You've been very thorough about avoiding your own reflection." Ai: "That's right. You're not allowed to bring a mirror into this house, or look in one." Tsukahara: "If you don't mind, I'd like to get right to the story behind why." Ai: "Sure. I'll tell you." Ai: "At first, I thought I was imagining it... Huh?" Ai: "I could see a black... something behind me." Ai: "But when I turned around, nothing was there." Ai: "And as the days went by, the black shape in the mirror started to resemble a human face... And soon, something that looked like hands were reaching out to me, trying to touch me... Stop it!" Ai: "I've been too scared to look in a mirror ever since." Ai: "And since I don't know when I might see my reflection, I can't even leave the house." Tsukhara: "I see." Ai: "Well? Do you think you can solve my problem?" Tsukahara: "I believe..." Tsukahara: "that this incident may be rooted in something Kimoto Nobuhiko-san said to you." Ai: "How do you know about that?! I never told anyone!" Tsukhara: "But isn't it true?" Ai: "That's..." Kimoto: "Look, could you stop following me around everywhere?" Ai: "You make it sound awful... I'm just trying to get you to notice me." Kimoto: "Your makeup and clothes don't suit you at all. It's so obvious how desperate you are to appeal to my type." Kimoto: "It's painful to even look at, to be honest." Ai: "But..." Tsukahara: "What he said to you left a deep scar..." Tsukahara: "And as a result, you're now afraid to look at your reflection. I believe that what you saw in the mirror was a hallucination to help you avoid focusing on your own appearance." Ai: "No! I know what I saw!" Tsukhara: "Here, then." Ai: "Stop it!" Ai: "Don't show me a mirror!" Tsukhara: "If you look in the mirror again, it'll be clear." Ai: "I can't! I'm scared!" Tsukhara: "It's all right. You're beautiful." Tsukhara: "There's nothing to fear. Just look in the mirror." Ai: "This is what I look like?" Ai: "You might be right. I'm..." Ai: "It's okay. That's just a hallucination. There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm not scared. Go away. Please, go away!" Tsukhara: "What did you see?" Ai: "Th-This can't be... That face..." Ai: "You're not a psychiatrist! This whole time, you've been inside the mirror..." Tsukahara: "You've finally looked my way."

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a woman who's gone on a vacation with a friend to forget her heartache..." Rie: "We should head back up." Tomoko: "Sure." Tomoko: "Is there someone there?" Tomoko: "A Jizo statue? Down here?" Rie: "I really do love the beach!" Rie: "Tomoko?" Tomoko: "I was just thinking about how I went snorkeling on my first date with Shoya, too." Rie: "The whole point of this trip was to forget about him." Tomoko: "Sorry..." Hotel Sign: "Yami Inn" Both: "Let's eat!" Lady: "You girls enjoying yourselves?" Rie: "Yes, it's been great!" Tomoko: "Oh, actually, I saw a Jizo statue in the water at the beach. Is it famous or anything?" Lady: "A Jizo in the water? Can't say I've heard of it. Now, why don't you two head to the hot springs once you're done eating?" Tomoko: "Sure." Tomoko: "I'm heading back to our room!" Rie: "Okay!" Lady: "What should I do? One of those girls said she saw the sunken Jizo..." Owner: "I hope she didn't pray to it." Lady: "I just don't want to see anyone end up like that again." Tomoko: "Do you live here?" Girl: "Yeah." Tomoko: "Hey, listen... Do you know about the sunken Jizo?" Girl: "I do. If you think about someone you hate, and pray to it, your feelings will sink into the sea along with that person." Tomoko: "They'll sink into the sea?" Tomoko: "Why did the hostess lie to me?" Tomoko: "Rie didn't take her phone with her?" Text Sign: "Shoya I wonder how she's gonna react lol" Tomoko: "Wait, why's she got a message from Shoya?" Tomoko: "He suddenly mentioned that he had fallen for someone else... That's what he meant. But why would he suddenly... And... Rie's been laughing at me to herself this whole time. She has to pay! I trusted her... Please make Rie suffer. Please make Rie suffer. Please make Rie suffer..." Rie: "Huh? Tomoko, you're back." Tomoko: "Sorry for making you worry. Let's get some sleep." Rie: "Aw, I don't wanna go home yet." Tomoko: "Shoya?!" Shoya: "Hey there." Tomoko: "What are you doing here?!" Rie: "He's regretted breaking up with you this whole time, apparently." Shoya: "Rie was willing to help me out." Shoya: "This is actually what the whole trip's been set up for..." Tomoko: "That's what it meant?" Rie: "See ya!" Shoya: "What's wrong? You don't look so good. Should I not have come?" Tomoko: "No, it's not that." Shoya: "That's a relief. Wanna head into the water again, like we used to?" Shoya: "What do you think that is?" Tomoko: "Rie?!" Girl: "Your feelings will sink into the sea along with that person..."

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a family that's moved into a certain home..." Hisako: "Thank you so much." Movers: "Yes, ma'am." Hisako: "Oh, could you put that box on the second floor?" Movers: "Got it!" Tomoko: "Where do you want this box, Onee-san?" Hisako: "Oh, that goes in the kitchen." Tomoko: "Okay, you got it!" Hisako: "Thanks so much for helping out today, Tomoko-chan. You were a huge help." Tomoko: "Don't mention it! When you celebrate the move, I'll make sure to have an empty stomach, so you can thank me then!" Hisako: "You can count on it." Hisako: "Huh? What's this?" Masafumi: "I think it's a name plate." Hisako: "Then are we supposed to engrave our name on it?" Masafumi: "Maybe? It's kind of creepy, though." Hisako: "Why?" Masafumi: "I mean, who leaves a blank plate out like that?" Hisako: "Having a name plate is pretty normal, though. Remember how at our old building, there was a white piece of paper on the door of the empty apartment?" Masafumi: "That was an apartment building, though. And this is a nice-looking wooden plate... Plus, it's oriented vertically." Hisako: "Is there something wrong with that?" Masafaumi: "It's so old-fashioned! I always wanted my name in the Roman alphabet, written sideways. Plus, if you're worried about your personal info, you don't even need a name plate." Hisako: "I guess you've got a point. Let's take it down, then." Hisako: "Excuse me. Hi, I just moved in. My name is Sugita. It's nice to meet you." Kinoshita: "You're not going to leave out a name plate?" Hisako: "What?" Kinoshita: "You really should." Kinoshita: "It's like the face of your house." Hisako: "Oh, thanks for the tip. Maybe I'll go and buy one today." Hisako: "That was weird..." Masafumi: "Hey, I thought you threw this out. It was on the front gate again." Hisako: "What the heck? That's creepy." Hisako: "Hey... Good morning." Kinoshita: "Nice weather we're having today." Yamashita: "Did you check out the new bakery by the station yet?" Kinoshita: "That has to be awkward." Yamashita: "I don't see why! You could ask her for a discount." Iwashita: "I don't think that's an option." Hisako: "Maybe it's hard for new people to fit in." Hisako: "Welcome home." Masafumi: "I'm exhausted, so I'm heading to bed early. Maybe I overdid it during the move..." Hisako: "I don't have much of an appetite, either. I think I'll go to bed early. We're having the moving-in party tomorrow, anyway." Kinsihita: "I told her that a name plate is a house's face..." Yamashita: "I can't believe they're not putting one up!" Hisako: "H-Hey... Good morning..." Iwashita: "I think they took it off." Yamashita: "Oh, dear, even though it's your "face."" ?: "Well, it's out of our hands." Iwashita: "What is she going to do?" Miyashita: "What are they thinking?" Kinoshita: "What's their plan?" Hisako: "A name plate... is a face?" Tomoko: "Huh? It's open... Onii-chan? Onee-san? I'm coming in..." Hisako: "A name plate is your face... A name plate is your face... A name plate is your face..." Tomoko: "Onee-san? Onii-chan—" Tomoko: "Y-Your face!" Hisako: "Gotta carve a name plate... Need to carve my face..." Tomoko: "S-Stop! Stay away from me! No!" Kinoshita: "I told her, a name plate is a house's face." Yamashita: "I heard her face is gone!" Miyashita: "It was her face!"

: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai. This is the story of a particular female college student who came to help at her grandmother's store..." Kaoru: "Grandma, mind if I take these, too?" Grandma: "Yes, if you like them, take as many as you'd like. I'm sure Grandpa would be happy to know that you've taken them, too." Kaoru: "Yeah, that's true." Kaoru: "What's this?" Grandma: "Oh... The netsuke that Grandpa loved so much are in there." Kaoru: "Netsuke?" Grandma: "I tried to touch them once, and he was furious with me." Kaoru: "These things?" Kaoru: "They're kind of cute." Voice: "Give it back..." Kaoru: "Just my imagination?" Voice: "Give it back..." Kaoru: "Those voices... Was it them?" Kaoru: "What's going on? Are they looking this way?" Kaoru: "Are they following me?" Kaoru: "I'll go this way." Kaoru: "Maybe they were trying to catch the bus..." Kaoru: "I'm probably overthinking things." Kaoru: "Yeah, that's right." Voice: "Give it back!" Voices: "Give it back... Give it back..." Kaoru: "What is this?" Voices: "Give it back... Give it back..." Kaoru: ""Give it back"? Give what back?" Voices: "Give it back... Give it back..." Kaoru: "If I can get to there..." Kaoru: "I can't! They're catching up!" Voices: "Give my face back... Give it back... Give my face back... Give my face back..." Voice: "Give it back... Give it back... Give it back..." Kaoru: "Who are..." Kaoru: "those people?" Grandma: "Oh, Kaoru." Kaoru: "Grandma, I lost one of these, but I'm giving it back." Grandma: "You are? Oh, by the way, you had a visitor." Kaoru: "I did?" Kaoru: "A visitor? He was just here a moment ago. I wonder where he went..." Grandma: "Oh..." Grandma: "Look, right over there."

: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai. This is the story of a particular married couple that moved to a village in the countryside..." Shiho: "You should've had that luggage brought here tomorrow with the rest." Daigo: "People here don't like guys who come from the city. I should at least come prepared with souvenirs." Shiho: "Maybe so, but..." Shiho: "A pellet drum?" Daigo: "Wow, that brings back memories." Shiho: "What's it doing here?" Daigo: "Come on, let's go." Shiho: "What is this?" Daigo: "Maybe there's a festival going on or something?" Daigo: "Oh, Village Headman..." Head: "You've had a long trip. Why don't you leave your things here? I'll show you around." Daigo: "We appreciate it." Head: "And what are you doing about your furniture?" Daigo: "Oh, our friend is bringing it in a truck tomorrow." Head: "I see." Daigo: "I expect we'll be busy for a while. Please bear with us." Head: "Think nothing of it. Feel free to think of this as the town where you were born and raised." Daigo: "Okay." Shiho: "Um... I'd like to ask a question, if I may..." Head: "What would that be?" Shiho: "You've seen all those pellet drums along the street on the way to our house, right?" Head: "Ah... We call those "bringer drums." It's a custom in this village to set them out as guides toward the homes of new folks moving in, with a prayer that they'll bring good things their way." Shiho: "Good things?" Head: "This is the god, if you will, who has protected this village for generations." Daigo: "Oh... So it'll follow the pellet drums to visit our house?" Head: "Yes." Shiho: "I'm glad they seem like nice people." Shiho: "Are you asleep?" Shiho: "What's that sound?" Shiho: "The wind?" Shiho: "The pellet drums are playing on their own..." Shiho: "And what are those voices?" Shiho: "Babies?" Shiho: "Hey, Dai-chan, wake up!" Shiho: "Something's coming this way! Hey!" Shiho: "Dai-chan! It's right outside the house now!" Shiho: "Please! Wake up!" Shiho: "Dai-chan?!"

Mitsuko: "I think it was just at the bottom of these stairs..." Ayano: "Mitsuko, good to see you again! Thanks for coming!" Mitsuko: "Oh, Ayano-san!" Ayano: "I made lots of food while I was waiting for you. Sit tight and have some tea until it's done." Mitsuko: "Sure. Thanks for inviting me today." Mitsuko: "This place is great. It's a new building, right?" Ayano: "No way. It was previously owned. I guess the previous tenants didn't stay here long, though." Mitsuko: "Oh, I see..." Mitsuko: "Just then, I noticed something. The sound of the air conditioner overhead" Mitsuko: "seemed unusually loud... I thought maybe it was broken, so I listened more closely," Mitsuko: "and that wasn't the case at all." Mitsuko: "A man's voice..." Mitsuko: "I could clearly hear a man's moaning voice coming from the vent. Suddenly," Mitsuko: "No..." Mitsuko: "I feel like" Ayano: "Sorry. The power goes out sometimes. But the food's done now, so let's eat." Mitsuko: "What is that?" Mitsuko: "It's glaring at me..." Ayano: "Hey, don't you want to eat?" Mitsuko: "Oh... No, it looks good. I'll have some." Mitsuko: "What do I do?" Mitsuko: "I can't just tell her about it..." Mitsuko: "But it's obviously..." Mitsuko: "No..." Mitsuko: "It looks like Ayano-san can't see it." Ayano: "What's wrong? You're acting kinda weird." Ayano: "Do you not like the pasta?" Mitsuko: "No, that's not it!" Mitsuko: "Sorry... I suddenly don't feel so good..." Ayano: "You don't have to lie. If you don't like it, just say so!" Mitsuko: "I told you, it's not that!" Ayano: "But it tastes awful, doesn't it? Right?!" Mitsuko: "No, it doesn't!" Ayano: "What am I wrong about?" Mitsuko: "I meant something is really wrong here!" Ayano: "See?! You admitted it!" Mitsuko: "No! I didn't mean that!" Ayano: "What are you saying?" Mitsuko: "Please! Let's get out of here!" Ayano: "We're not friends anymore!" Mitsuko: "I bolted from Ayano-san's house and ran for my life. Then..." Mitsuko: "I saw a shadow coming from Ayano-san's house..." Mitsuko: "No..." Mitsuko: "No..."

Girl: "There's this guy I like, but I can't bring myself to tell him. Do you know the rumor about the coin locker in the station's basement level? What is it? If you put a picture of the person you like in the locker with the doll inside of it, your love will be realized." Kanako: "A locker...?" Kanako: "Huh... I didn't know there was an underground passage like this." Kanako: "Is this it?" Kanako: "There's a bunch of lockers. Which one is it?" Kanako: "I know... Senpai's jersey number is 10." Kanako: "That scared me... Is this the doll? I guess the rumor was true..." Kanako: "Please help me, doll." Kanako: "Please let it work out between Senpai and me." Girl: "Ah, I'm hungry... Wanna stop somewhere?" Kanako: "Sorry. I have someplace to go today." Kanako: "Can this really grant wishes?" Kanako: "Huh?" Kanako: "It's gone... Senpai's picture is gone..." Harada: "Oh, Katagiri?" Kanako: "Senpai?" Harada: "What are you doing here?" Kanako: "W-Well, um... What about you, Senpai?" Harada: "I just had something to do." Kanako: "That key..." Harada: "Yeah... I heard the lockers here can grant your wishes." Harada: "Is that why you're here, too?" Kanako: "Oh... Yeah." Harada: "Whose picture did you put in?" Kanako: "Well..." Harada: "I can't believe it really does grant wishes." Kanako: "It's strange, though. I put a picture in the locker, but it's gone." Harada: "You probably forgot to put it in." Kanako: "I know I put it in the one with the doll in it." Harada: "D-Doll?" Kanako: "Yeah. A girl doll." Harada: "Th-That's not right!" Kanako: "It's not? But..." Harada: "The one with the doll in it is—" Kanako: "Wh-What is it?" Kanako: "Senpai?" Kanako: "Senpai... Senpai! Senpai!"

Higashi: "We don't know it was wrong yet..." Shiba: "Hey. Which way now?" Higashi: "A tunnel? That's not on the map." Higashi: "But in terms of direction, I'd say this way." Shiba: "You sure about that?" Higashi: "Guess we would've run out of gas either way." Shiba: "Shouldn't we leave the car and walk?" Higashi: "Let's take a breather." Shiba: "Yeah. Another car might come through." Shiba: "What's that?" Shiba: "We should've been in that hot spring by now." Higashi: "Good thing we took the day off tomorrow." Higashi: "Hey..." Shiba: "Oh, kids from around here?" Higashi: "Why are they in this tunnel?" Shiba: "Let's ask if there's a gas station close by." Higashi: "Wait..." Higashi: "Doesn't something seem weird?" Shiba: "Weird?" Shiba: "What the..." Higashi: "Huh?!" Higashi: "What are those things?!" Higashi: "H-Hey... What is that?" Shiba: "I-Is your door l-locked?" Higashi: "Yeah, it is." Higashi: "Hey! The window!" Guy: "Hm? Did I hit something?" Guy: "What was that?" Guy: "Whoa!"

Kento: "All right, why don't we order sushi to celebrate the move?" Machiko: "What? We can't. We have to save money." Kento: "Huh?" Kento: "There's no need to be that scared." Machiko: "But, Ken-chan, that was a rat!" Kento: "It's an old apartment. There's bound to be a few rats." Machiko: "Yeah, but..." Kento: "You'll get used to it in no time." Kento: "Come on, let's finish putting stuff away. I'm starving." Machiko: "Ow!" Machiko: "Oh, no... Did a rat do this?" Machiko: "Ken-chan? Hey, Ken-chan, wake up." Machiko: "Can I really get used to this?" Kento: "All right, I'm heading out." Machiko: "Okay... Take care." Kento: "Don't make that face. I'll only be away for two days." Machiko: "I know, but..." Kento: "Machiko, just learn to deal with the rats. You're the one who picked this apartment because the rent's cheap." Machiko: "But a rat bit me the other night. Does that even happen?" Kento: "It'll be fine. I set a trap." Kento: "I'll be back in two days. And I'll buy you a souvenir." Machiko: "All right. Have a safe trip." Kento: "See you soon." Machiko: "It's just a rat, right? I'll be fine... right? I'll get used to it in no time." Machiko: "It's okay..." Machiko: "Nothing to be scared of. I'll get used to it." Machiko: "It's okay... I'll get used to it..." Machiko: "I'll get used to it... I'll get used to it..." Machiko: "I'll get used to it... I'll get used to it..." Machiko: "I'll get used to it... I'll get used to it..." Kento: "I'm home."

Osamu: "In the dream, I'm sitting in class." Terao: "Am I there, too?" Osamu: "Yeah, both of you." : "And, then what?" Osamu: "I don't know what class it is, but it's something really fun. Everyone's always laughing. And just as I'm thinking I want to stay in this class forever..." Osamu: "Something suddenly comes in through the door at the back of the room." : "Something?" Osamu: "Yeah... I don't know what it is... But somehow everyone knows that we can't look at it." Osamu: "It just wanders around behind us, laughing.

Kengo: "No one got here before us, did they?" Yumi: "Are you sure it's okay to just barge in?" Haruo: "What's with you guys? You're the ones who wanted to do a test of courage." buko: "Yeah, but I didn't expect it to look so much like a private home. Right?" Yumi: "Yeah..." Kengo: "It's fine. No one lives here anymore." Yumi: "Yeah..." buko: "It's still in pretty nice shape, though." Haruo: "We're coming in!" Yumi: "Wait, Haruo..." buko: "Didn't every family that ever lived in this house go missing?" Kengo: "Some say they just got too deep in debt and skipped town." Kengo: "Whoa, a Buddhist altar! Scary!" buko: "Huh? Hina dolls?" Kengo: "Yeah... Looks like a little girl lived here." Haruo: "They say Hina dolls shield people from misfortune by carrying it themselves." buko: "But these people went missing, right?" Yumi: "Look... There's no empress doll..." Kengo: "Someone who came here as a test of courage like us must've taken it." Yumi: "But only the empress?" buko: "Whoa, creepy!" Kengo: "Maybe I'll take something to mark the occasion, too." Kengo: "Look, stairs. Let's check out the second floor." Haruo: "Hey, there's a three-sided mirror." Kengo: "Everything in this house is so perfect for a test of courage." Haruo: "Nobuko, stand between the mirrors and see how the reflection looks." buko: "No way! One of the faces you see is supposed to be dead, right?" Haruo: "Jeez, you're hopeless. Let's all look in together, then. Man, it's filthy. There's nothing scary about it if we can't see any—" Haruo: "Huh?" Kengo: "What is it?" Haruo: "Nothing... It just looked like the door was opening." buko: "What? You act tough, but I bet you're more scared than anyone, Haruo." Haruo: "Shut up! It just looked like it since the mirror's so dirty..." Kengo: "What's going on?" Yumi: "Oh, no... What's happening?" Kengo: "Stop!" Yumi: "No! Guys, help me!" Kengo: "Hey! Hey!" Kengo: "Yumi, are you okay?"

Girl: "You don't know about them? There's this man who stands by the roadside at night, and he asks you out of nowhere to shake his hand." Sensei: "What? That's just creepy." Girl: "Right? But they say you can't tell him no." Sensei: "What happens if you say no?" Girl: "He says you're naughty, then he crushes your entire body into a meatball." Sensei: "What?" Girl: "But there's more than one Handshake Man, and they say you should never, ever shake hands with the fourth one." Sensei: "What happens if you shake his hand?" Girl: "He bites off your hand!" Sensei: "Oh, that's horrible!" Girl: "Hey, what if we run into a Handshake Man on our way home? I think I'd just run." Haruko: "That's so dumb." Girl: "But he'll turn you into a meatball!" mi: "Sis..." Haruko: "Yeah?" mi: "I forgot my homework notebook at school." Haruko: "Jeez..." Haruko: "Did you leave it in your desk?" mi: "Yeah, I think so." mi: "The school is pretty scary at night, huh?" Haruko: "Let's find your notebook and get back home." mi: "Found it!" mi: "Oh, it's the janitor." Janitor: "Nao-chan, why are you here at this hour?" mi: "I forgot something." mi: "Hey, Sis, why were you so startled?" Haruko: "Well, he was just suddenly standing behind us." mi: "What's that guy doing?" Haruko: "I... don't know..." Drunk: "Whassa coupl'a kids doin' out this late? Sheesh..."

: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain middle school girl." Girl: "I'm tired of mobile games." : "On this day, Honoka, Yukari, and Miku had promised" Girl: "My battery's about to die, anyway. Should we start the thing, then? Yeah!" : "to get together to play a game that was popular at school." Yukari: "Honoka, did you get it ready?" Honoka: "Yeah." : "The game they were about to play was said to allow people to talk to the dead, and it was called "Calling Crane."" : "Participants put a red string and a razor blade in water and leave it overnight. Then, one swallows a paper crane with a dead person's name written on it, and the dead person is supposed to appear and talk to them. Rumors said that a student from another school who played this game became deranged and ended up essentially an invalid." Yukari: "Okay, whose name should we write?" Honoka: "Hey, are we really doing this?" : "It wasn't as if she believed the rumors, but in all honesty, she didn't feel right about this." Miku: "Why are you complaining now?" Yukari: "Just use Nakayama." Both: "Huh?" Honoka: "Nakayama... You mean Nakayama-sensei?" : "Nakayama was a young teacher who taught their homeroom class until three months ago. He liked scary stories," Girl: "What? That's scary!" : "and in fact, he was the one who had told them about this game." Girl: "No way!" ka: "It's true. Go on, try it." : "But one day, he suddenly stopped coming to school with no explanation, and a broken glass was left behind in the classroom." Honoka: "But we don't know if Nakayama-sensei died..." Yukari: "Do you actually think we'll be able to talk to someone who's dead?" : "So Yukari wrote his name on the paper crane." Yukari: "There. You just write it 49 times, right?" Yukari: "Ready, and..." All: "Rock, paper, scissors!" : "And the one who ended up losing at rock-paper-scissors was Honoka." Girl: "Honoka, you're so bad at rock-paper-scissors!" Honoka: "Really? I have to?" Yukari: "C'mon, hurry up!" Miku: "What should we talk to Nakayama-sensei about?" : "Realizing she couldn't get out of it now, she quickly swallowed the paper crane with the water in the glass." Girl: "Whoa, she really swallowed it!" Girl: "I almost feel like I swallowed it, too!" Honoka: "I think... it's stuck in my throat..." Girl: "Was that good? Is Nakayama-sensei here now? I totally forgot about that!" : "Her two friends laughed as they watched her struggling. But then, as if the crane had lodged in her throat," Girl: "Are you okay? Hey, I think she's in trouble! Honoka? Honoka?!" : "After coughing violently for some time, Honoka finally spit something out." : "It was the paper crane." : "But, even though they had written Nakayama's name on it..." Miku: "Wait... Why is Honoka's name on it?" Yukari: "That can't be right! What's going on?" : "And then," Yukari: "I know I wrote "Nakayama" on it! You saw me!" : "the girls heard a voice from behind them..." Miku: "Then why..." Honoka: "So, what shall we talk about?"

: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai. This is the story of a certain boy whose parents took him to visit his grandparents' house over winter break. He didn't often have the chance to play in snow, so he had a great time playing with his older cousin outside. As the sun set and the two of them started to feel cold, they decided to build a snow hut where they could warm up." Boy: "It has to be taller?" : "They piled up more and more snow, until they'd completed a small snow hut that they could just barely fit in together. It was much warmer inside than they'd expected. It felt as if they'd made a secret base, and the boy was very happy." Yousuke: "I'm hungry." Masayuki: "Yeah." Yousuke: "Want me to bring in the brazier and grill some mochi?" Masayuki: "Yeah!" Yousuke: "Okay, wait here. I'll go get it." Masayuki: "Okay!" : "As he waited alone in the snow hut," Masayuki: "It's cold..." : "the boy looked out into the snow-covered grove and spotted a snow hut about the same size as his own." Masayuki: "What is this?" : "Strangely, this snow hut had no entrance, and something that looked like candlelight was flickering inside. The faintly glowing snow hut looked almost magical in the surrounding darkness." Masayuki: "Is there someone inside?" : "To find out, he timidly knocked on the outside..." : "and heard the sound of knocking in response from inside." Masayuki: "Oh, someone's inside." : "Hoping to find out who was inside it," : "he poked a hole in the wall to peek inside." Masayuki: "There." : "He didn't see anyone inside. All he saw was a flickering candle," : "and marks on the wall that looked like someone had tried to dig their way out." : "Someone's in there, right?" Voice: "It's your turn next." Yousuke: "Masayuki?" Yousuke: "Masayuki!" : "When he woke up, he found himself in a futon inside his grandparents' house." Yousuke: "Yeah." Yousuke: "I kept telling him no one was there, but he broke it..." : "He couldn't remember what had happened, but the way his parents and grandparents were acting told him it was something terrible." Mom: "Dad!" Dad: "Easy, Kimiko..." Mom: "Is there nothing..." Yousuke: "I'm so sorry, Aunt Kimiko." Dad: "Well, we should..." Grandpa: "Yeah." Mom: "Masayuki?" : "On the other side of the sliding doors, his family wore broad smiles." Dad: "Masayuki, come on in here." : "They were all acting nicer than usual, but he couldn't help thinking that meant something bad was about to happen." Masayuki: "You think so, too?" Voice: "Go on. It's your turn now."

Worker: "It's only dark at first." : "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain college student heading home after a drinking party." : "On his way to the station, he realized he had forgotten something at the bar." Shimada: "Crap!" Shimada: "And it just had to start raining..." : "He decided to take shelter from the rain for a while." Shimada: "Doesn't look like it's gonna stop..." Shimada: "I should just go home." : "He decided to go retrieve what he'd forgotten on the following day, and headed down into the underground walkway to the station." Shimada: "I didn't know there was an underground walkway here." : "The underground walkway was cold," Shimada: "It's freezing..." : "and it was so dark, he couldn't see what lay ahead." Shimada: "Does this really go to the station?" : "Despite his growing concern, he decided to continue forward." Shimada: "Creepy..." : "With the gradual curve in the passageway, he couldn't see the end, no matter how far he walked." Shimada: "What is that?" : "As he began to think maybe he should turn back, he saw what looked like a person just ahead..." Shimada: "Huh?" Worker: "It's only dark at first." : "It was a worker." Worker: "It's only dark at first." Worker: "It's only dark at first." Worker: "It's only dark at first." : "As he got closer, the man mumbled something as he pointed to the wall." Worker: "It's only dark at first." Worker: "It's only dark at first." Shimada: "Whoa..." : "There he saw an opening to a path even" : "The man seemed to be directing him down this path." Worker: "It's only dark at first." Worker: "It's only dark at first." Shimada: "Um, I need to get to the station..." Worker: "It's only dark at first." : "Despite his inquiry, the man kept his head down" Shimada: "What the heck?" : "Since it was so creepy, he didn't follow the man's directions, but continued down the passage toward the station." Shimada: "Talk about freaky..." Shimada: "Huh? Damn it." : "He had no choice but to turn back." : "How far had he walked? He kept walking, but he didn't see the man from before." : "His sense of distance left him, and his breathing became labored." Shimada: "What's up with this place?" : "He couldn't even find the side path that the man had pointed to." Shimada: "Weird..." : "Then he glanced down at his feet and saw..." Shimada: "What is that? Footprints?" : "On the wall where the side path should have been before, it appeared as if the wall had been filled in," Shimada: "Is this..." : "and in its center was a shadow in the shape of someone struggling in agony." Worker: "It's only dark at first." Worker: "It's only dark at first." Worker: "It's only dark at first." Shimada: "Someone... Let me out!" Worker: "It's only dark at—"

Yuuya: "Yeah, I heard there's something there." : "His friends told him about some kind of creepy building, so he decided to go check it out." Kid: "Let's go." Kid: "Is this safe?" : "It appeared to be an old Western-style home that was no longer inhabited." Kento: "Let's go in." Yuuya: "You think we should?" : "But all the entrances were locked, so they couldn't get inside." Kento: "It won't open..." Shigeru: "I guess we'll just have to break it with this." : "They were about to try to get in by breaking a window, but then..." Yuuya: "Hey, look." : "They found one window on the second story that was open." Yuuya: "Lucky break!" : "In the dark room, the only presence was an eerie sound coming from somewhere. He pulled open a curtain to let in some light, and was surprised when it simply ripped apart." : "There, he found a large fish tank." : "Now he knew the identity of the sound he'd heard." Shigeru: "Is... something in there?" : "Aquatic plants grew densely in the tank. The water was so murky, he couldn't see anything inside, and it gave off a foul odor." Shigeru: "Ugh... That reeks!" : "Slowly, he moved his face closer to the glass," : "as if being drawn into the darkness. As he gazed deeply into the murky water..." : "Something bumped into the glass. What was that?" : "He just couldn't walk away without figuring out what was inside the tank. Ignoring the foul odor, he slowly, slowly moved his face closer to the water," : "so he wouldn't disturb whatever was inside. Slowly, slowly, slowly..." Kento: "Hey, Shigeru!" : "When his friend arrived, there was no one in the room." Kento: "Where'd he go?" Kento: "A fish tank? Gross." : "When he turned his back to leave the room..." Kento: "Is something in there?"

: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai. This is the story of a certain young man who departed on a trip with three friends on a night bus. As they drove along the highway, he was stricken with a stomachache and asked the driver to stop at the next service area." Man: "Can we stop at a restroom?" Guy: "Are you serious? Do you have to ruin it for the rest of us?" Girl: "Gross." Guy: "Got your toilet paper?" : "As his friends laughed at him from the bus, he silently headed for the restroom." Man: "As if it's never happened to them..." : "Much to his relief, he managed to make it in time... But when he returned to the parking lot, many buses just like his own were there" : "and he couldn't tell which one was his." Man: "Huh? Which one was it?" : "He didn't want to trouble the other passengers any further. Hurriedly, he finally arrived back at his own bus. He braced himself to be hassled by his friends again," : "but through the windows, he saw that their expressions had changed." Man: "Sorry about that. The passengers who had been asleep before were now awake," Man: "and they now gazed downward with the same gloomy expression." Man: "I guess I made them mad..." : "Even his friends, who had laughed at him, wore the same gloomy expression." : "What had happened while he was away?" : "Then he received an email..." Man: ""Yuuichi"?" : "The sender was one of his friends, seated two rows behind him." : "The fact that he wouldn't talk to him directly told him something had happened." Man: ""Did something happen?"" : "He received another email from his friend." : "He reply wasn't quite to the point." Man: "A call?" : "The caller was one of his friends, seated across the aisle from him..." : "But she wasn't even holding her phone." : "He thought it was strange, but he answered anyway..." Man: "Hello?" Saeko: "Hello? Where are you? We're all waiting for you." : "The voice was, without a doubt, that of the friend he was looking at." Saeko: "Hello? Hey!" Saeko: "Can you hear me? Is your stomachache that bad?" Haruki: "I bet he didn't have toilet paper." Saeko: "I can believe it!" Yuuichi: "That's why I told you to take some!" Saeko: "Should we bring you some?" : "The call was coming from the friend right in front of him. Hopeless to understand what was going on, the man realized that everyone on the bus, like his friend, was now staring at him."

Daddy, Daddy! Open the door!" Shirou: "Takeru... I'm sorry." Takeru: "Daddy! Daddy! It's cold!" Shirou: "I can't leave Shinobu... I can't leave your mommy alone." Takeru: "Daddy! Open the door, Daddy! Open the door! Daddy! Daddy, Daddy!" Shirou: "I can't." Shirou: "Hello?" Shinobu: "Are you okay? I saw the blizzard on the news and got worried." Shirou: "Yeah, I'm okay.

Takayuki: "It's said that, if disaster strikes, the item you offer will act as a scapegoat so you don't suffer. As kids, we didn't want to give up our favorite toys, so we tried to throw useless junk in, but we were told that if we lied, "the Muddy" would just come and take our most prized possession." Haruko: "That sounds scary..." Takayuki: "This was when I was a kid. I don't know if they still do it." Takayuki: "I'm home." Mom: "Well, come on. Get inside." Haruko: "Yes, ma'am..." Mom: "I don't how you lived in the city, but now that you're part of this family, you'll obey our rules." Mom: "That's not how you do it at all!" Haruko: "I'm sorry." Mom: "Don't wear rings when cooking!" Haruko: "Oh... It's an heirloom of my mother's..." Mom: "I don't care if it's an heirloom. Since you married into this family, I'm your mother! Or are you trying to spite me? You should really value your mother a little more." Haruko: "I'm sorry." Mom: "Honestly, what's wrong with you?" Mom: "I'll hold on to this." Takayuki: "What? You guys still do that?" Mom: "Of course. And you two are coming with us to the swamp after dinner." Takayuki: "Yeah, sure. And take a prized possession, right? I don't know if I have one..." Takayuki: "Sorry you had to come along. You can just throw in whatever." Haruko: "I brought the fountain pen I used when I was in school. It doesn't write anymore, though." Takayuki: "That's fine." Guy: "We will now conduct the ritual of the swamp offering. Prepare the items you wish to offer." Haruko: "That's..." Mom: "So important to you that you never take it off, right? You have to offer your most prized possession, or the Muddy will come and take the thing you really treasure most." Haruko: "You're cruel!" Takayuki: "Mom!" Mom: "Hmph." Takayuki: "I told Mom to apologize." Haruko: "No, it's fine. I'm the one to blame." Takayuki: "Huh?" Haruko: "I mean, I made the decision to be your wife, so I need to treasure her more, just like she said." Takayuki: "Well, sure, but..." Takayuki: "Mom, are you still asleep?" Takayuki: "Mom...?" Takayuki: "Mom?" Haruko: "Mother, where could you have gone?" Takayuki: "Where are you?" Haruko: "You are my most precious mother." Haruko: "I wanted you to teach me so many things..."

Youta Monolog: "Until a while ago, my dad lived with us." Youta Monolog: "Things were happy then, and every day was fun. But one day, Dad suddenly left. Ever since then, nobody laughs at home anymore." Mom: "Finish eating or you'll be late for school." Mom: "You're having a bean-throwing party?" Youta M: "But I don't think I am unlucky." Youta: "They said it was after school tomorrow." Youta M: ""Happiness is something you have to get for yourself."" Mom: "I can't get that day off work. I'm sorry." Youta M: "My dad was the one who taught me that." Youta: "Okay." Blackboard Sign: "Feb. 2nd Tues On Duty: Takezawa Nosaka" Teacher: "Remember, we're throwing beans tomorrow." Youtam: "I wonder why we throw beans every year." Teacher: "Do you all know what to say when we're doing it?" Youtam: "Why are there still demons when we do it every year?" Student 1: ""Out with demons, in with good fortune!"" Teacher: "That's right!" Youtam: "What even is a demon?" Teacher: "Demons don't like beans." Youtam: "When I see angry old ladies or drunk old men, adults look like demons to me." Teacher: "Which is why, if you throw them and say, "Out with the demons," you can chase them away." Youtam: "I wonder what the difference is between demons and people." Teacher: "And then, by saying, "In with good fortune," you can attract good luck!" Youtam: "Is it fangs and horns?" Youta: "Here." Teacher: "Yes, what is it, Sanada-kun?" Youta: "Why do we have to chase away demons?" Teacher: "That's a good question! It's been said since long ago that demons make bad things happen." Youta: "They make bad things happen..." Youtam: "That means if demons are around, they'll cause trouble for people." Teacher: "Let's all do our best when throwing those beans tomorrow, okay?" Youtam: "I guess it's a bad idea to have demon friends, after all." Students: "Okay!" Youtam: "I think Mom must be lonely. If Mom were happy like she was when Dad was around, she'd never be friends with a demon. She always says, "Choose your friends carefully."" Teacher: "It's been said since long ago that demons make bad things happen." Youta M: "I can't run away. I have to protect Mom. Before anything else bad happens..." Youta M: "I wonder who wants to throw bean-throwing parties." Students: "Out with demons! In with good fortune!" Youta M: "People who are unhappy? People who want good luck?" Student 1: "Youta, aren't you gonna throw beans?" Youta: "I have to get rid of the demon at my house." Youtam: "I read in a book once that "happiness is different for everyone."" Mom: "How was the bean-throwing party? I'm sorry I couldn't make it." Youtam: "We were never rich, but Dad would always play with me," Mom: "Youta?" Youta: "They said that demons make bad things happen." Youtam: "and Mom's cooking was good, and when we would watch TV while eating together," Mom: "Did they teach you that at the bean-throwing party?" Youtam: "it was my favorite thing in the world." Youta: "Mom, are you friends with a demon?" Youtam: "Even now, I'm still glad to be able to eat with Mom, but she seems kind of sad." Youta: "I saw. There was a demon in your room. Maybe the demon making something bad happen is why Dad died..." Youtam: "I wonder if she doesn't like being with me. Maybe happiness to her was when Dad was around." Mom: "How can you say that?!" Mom: "There's no such thing as demons!" Youtam: "So is she unhappy now?" Youta: "But I saw it! You can't be friends with a demon, Mom!" Youtam: "Maybe that why she's so lonely she'd make a mistake like being friends with a demon! If that's the case, I need to teach her it's wrong." Youta: "It's gonna make us unhappy!" Mom: "You need to stop right now!" Youtam: "Demons are bad guys." Mom: "Youta!" Youta M: "When Mom was mad, her face looked like a demon. She didn't look like my nice mom anymore." Mom: "Youta?" Youta M: "Why are all the people I love going away?" Mom: "Youta, I'm sorry about before." Youta M: "Mom is still my mom. I can't waste time worrying. I need to be brave and get rid of him," Youta M: "before Mom turns into a demon!" Mom: "I think he's catching on..." Youta M: "I'm not gonna let anyone hurt my mom and get away with it." Guy: "He was bound to find out sooner or later." Mom: "I wish he didn't have to..." Youta M: "I'm the only one who can protect her! And I'm gonna do it!" Youta: "Get out, demon! Demons out!" Youtam: "I threw the beans at the demon as hard as I could." Guy: "Stop that, Youta!" Youta: "Demons out! Good fortune in!" Youtam: "I knew that if it would just leave, mom would be smiling and gentle again." Mom: "Youta, that's enough!" Youta: "Demons out! Good fortune in!" Guy: "Stop! Stop it, Youta!"

Voice: "Saki... you don't have to try so hard." Voice: "So come and join me." Voice: "Join me... Join me... Join me..." Shinji: "I'm wiped... Just wanna go home. But I've only got one thing left to do..." Shinji: "Map says it's supposed to be around here. Crap, am I lost?" Shinji: "A park? That's not on the map..." Shinji: "Damn, this place is huge." Shinji: "Is that a line?" Shinji: "What are they in line for at a place like this...?" Shinji: "Help! Save me!"

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain man in a rural community on a business trip..." Sagawa: "Teranishi-san, your reputation precedes you." Sagawa: "You're supposed to be a pretty talented individual." Tera: "Oh, I wouldn't go that far." Sagawa: "Granted, your predecessor, Ooshima-kun, was talented as well." Tera: "I actually never got the chance to know him." Sagwa: "Really? Well, I'm hoping we'll have just as fruitful a partnership." Tera: "If you'll excuse me, then." Crowd: "Okay, pull it up!" Tera: "Sagawa-san, is there some sort of festival today?" Crowd: "Ready, and..." Sagawa: "Oh, there's actually a wedding today." Tera: "Today?" Sagawa: "Well, in such a small community, it's like we're all family anyway. For something like this, everyone in town tends to celebrate." Tera: "The entire town, huh? That's definitely a nice change from the city." Sagawa: "I know. Why don't you join us for the festivities?" Tera: "Huh? Me?" Sagawa: "I think you'll find it quite a unique experience." Tera: "Well, since you offered..." Tera: "Are those people the bride's family?" Sagawa: "Oh, those are the undertakers." Tera: "Undertakers?" Sagawa: "We have a tradition here called "a rat's wedding." It means that unless someone passes away, no one can get married." Tera: "You mean it's a wedding and a funeral at the same time?" Sagawa: "It started with the intent of using the celebration of the wedding to help the bereaved's family forget their pain." Sagawa: "When the couple's child is born, they're considered the reincarnation of the departed." Sagawa: "Everyone in town welcomes them into the world and helps raise them. We really are like one big family." Sagawa: "Everyone knows each other. It's this tradition that brought this community to where it is today. When one person dies, another is born, which means we've never experienced any population growth or loss. Interesting, isn't it?" Tera: "That is something." Tera: "I guess there are still places like this out in the boondocks..." Sagawa: "There's the procession." Tera: "Wait... There are six coffins?" Sagawa: "This child is bound to be the picture of health." Sagawa: "See? The shape of the smoke helps predict what kind of child's going to be born." Tera: "What is he talking about? Is it some kind of fortune-telling?" Sagawa: "Oh, there's the bride." Crowd: "Congratulations! We wish you happiness! We'll be looking out for you!" Tera: "So... where's the groom, anyway?" Sagawa: "You'll see any second now." Tera: "Any second?" Crowd: "Hey! Congrats! Isn't this great? You are so lucky!" Tera: "Wait, what are you talking about?" Crowd: "What a relief!" Tera: "Cut that out!" Crowd: "We'll all have your back!" Tera: "Hang on..." Tera: "Sagawa-san, what are they talking about?!" Sagawa: "A man of your talents... I can't wait to see what you bring to the community." Tera: "What do you— Stop that! Put me down! Enough! Let go of me! Stop it! Hey! Let me out of here! Why me?! Hey! Seriously, why?! It's all wrong! No!" Tera: "What the..." Wife: "It's okay. Now you're part of the family." Tera: "Family?" Tera: "It was just a dream..." Tera: "What the hell was that?" Tera: "What is going on?!" Wife: "There, there..." Tera: "You—" Wife: "Here, hold your baby... Darling."

Botan: "I hope so! I can't wait to see them!" Botan: "Maybe they've bloomed today." : "I don't know, but won't it be great if they have?" Botan: "Let's go look." : "Botan-chan?!" : "Wait there! I'll go get help!" Botan: "No! Don't go!" : "It's okay! I'll be right back!" Botan: "Please! Don't leave me!" : "I promise I'll be right back! Just wait for a little bit, okay?" Botan: "That's not it... Nao-chan, don't go... Wait! Nao-chan! Nao-chan..." Mom: "Thank you so much for everything." Mom: "Yes, I understand. I'm sorry for all the fuss." Mom: "What? Are you sure? Well, since you're offering, I guess I'll make hotpot with boar meat tonight." : "I wanted to see these with you..." : "Where did you go, Botan-chan?"

Takayuki: "Y'know, I dunno what you're up to right now, but wouldn't you like to go somewhere even more fun?" Takayuki: "You can do whatever you want, eat whatever you want... It's the best place I've ever been." Yusuke: "Sounds great... What the hell is this old dude talking about? Man, I hate running into drunks. I'd better wrap this up fast. Sorry, but I really need to get going." Yusuke: "Huh? It's like he disappeared all of a sudden." Yusuke: "Sorry I took so long! I ran into some weird old guy who kept talking to me."

Chiaki: "I... didn't know that." suki: "Supposedly..." suki: "It came from monkeys that imitated people who had come to pay their respects at graves. And afterwards, the person imitated is supposed to have a string of bad luck. Scary, huh?" suki: "They also allege monkey prayers to be effective when wishing for someone's death." Chiaki: "Wishing... for death?" suki: "See you tomorrow." Yuichi: "And she just went home?" Chiaki: "There has to be something wrong with that girl." Yuichi: "Maybe she just wanted to get to know you better." Chiaki: "Mei said the same thing! And that is not happening. Anyway, Senpai, do you want to go somewhere tomorrow?" Chiaki: "All because of her...!" Chiaki: "Could you give it a rest?! I had a weird dream of because of you!" suki: "Maybe someone wants you dead, Chiaki-chan." Chiaki: "No... did you...?" suki: "I know." suki: "Try offering up three hairs. There's a saying that people have three more hairs than monkeys, and they represent compassion, disparity, and achievement. If you make the offering, they might help." Mei: "You don't need to worry about it." Chiaki: "But she was laughing. Something has to be going on." Mei: "Like she put a curse on you?" Chiaki: "I don't know about that, but..." Chiaki: "No... stop!" suki: "Try offering up three hairs." Chiaki: "I'm saved!" Chiaki: "Mei?" Chiaki: "Mei... why would you...?" Classmate A: "She supposedly ran into traffic." Classmate B: "I heard she called Yuichi-senpai asking to meet him right before she died." Classmate: "Wait, seriously? But isn't Yuichi-senpai going out with Chiaki? Exactly. Plus, Mei and Chiaki were good friends." suki: "Come on, Chiaki-chan, it's your turn to pray."

Supposedly, the rat tricked the cat into not reaching God." Mitsuki: "It's a whole fable about why the cat isn't one of the signs. You haven't heard it?" yuki: "I think I might've heard the story when I was little..." Mitsuki: "But apparently, the real reason is because the cat slaughtered the rat when it was on its way to join God." Mitsuki: "That made God mad, so he got the cat kicked out of the zodiac. But apparently, there are still some people who are born in the year of the cat, and when God notices them, he erases their existence." Mitsuki: "Or so the urban legend says." yuki: "Man, why are you trying to tell me scary stories when we're here late, working overtime?" Mitsuki: "Sorry. I was working on this cat design, so it came to mind." yuki: "Let me see." yuki: "What the heck, Mitsuki? This design sucks!" Mitsuki: "You really think so? Isn't it kind of cute, though?" yuki: "It looks dumb! Like, super dumb! You're a designer, man. You need to work on your aesthetic." Mitsuki: "Okay, sorry." yuki: "Man, staying late is really hitting me. I'm bushed." Mitsuki: "Senpai, are you going to enter that competition to design the robot for that one business?" yuki: "Huh? I didn't hear about that." Mitsuki: "Really? I'm pretty sure the email got sent to everyone..." Mitsuki: "Here, I'll forward it to you. Give me one second." yuki: "Oh, man! The reward for the winning design is super sweet!" Mitsuki: "Exactly. I was thinking of sending something in, even though I don't expect to win." yuki: "Sounds good to me. Let's both give it a shot." Mitsuki: "Right. Thank you." yuki: "Not that you have a chance in hell of winning a contest like this, though." Kuriyama: "Hey, you haven't submitted your design for the contest yet. What's wrong?" yuki: "I was still working on it... The deadline's next week, right?" Kuriyama: "What are you talking about? It's due by 3:00 PM today." yuki: "What? But the email said it was next Wednesday." Mitsuki: "Really? I'm pretty sure the email got sent to everyone..." Mitsuki: "Here, I'll forward it to you. Give me one second." yuki: "That son of a..." Kuriyama: "If you're not submitting anything, I guess I'll go with Mitsuki's design." yuki: "Huh? Mitsuki's?!" Kuriyama: "He's been coming up with some interesting stuff lately." yuki: "Damn it, where the hell is he?" yuki: "He'll pay for that." yuki: "I'm gonna find Mitsuki today and kick his ass for what he did." yuki: "Oh, good morning, Urano-san." yuki: "What, she just ignored me?" yuki: "I forgot my keycard." yuki: "Kuriyama-san, good morning. I actually forgot my keycard..." yuki: "Why is he ignoring me? I didn't do anything." yuki: "Hey, Mitsuki! I can't believe you lied to me, man." Mitsuki: "Senpai, are you okay?" yuki: "What do you mean?" yuki: "What is this?! Hey... Hey!" Mitsuki: "But apparently, there are still some people who are born in the year of the cat, and when God notices them, he erases their existence." yuki: "Wait... was I born in... the year of the cat?" Mitsuki: "Goodbye, Senpai."

That means cleaning it and feeding the rabbits." Takuya: "But I really didn't want to be the pet assistant. It's not that I dislike animals. I love Mimi-chan, the cat we have at home." Takuya: "The reason I don't want this duty is because..." Takuya: "there's this shadowy man living in the rabbit hutch." giko: "Oh, they're so cute!" giko: "Come on! Over here!" Takuya: "I don't think anyone other than me can see the man." giko: "I love bunnies! I'm so jealous that you get to take care of them, Takuya-kun! They're so adorable."

Takuya-kun, never forget that courage, okay? Life is all about trying new things." Takuya: "Courage..." Takuya: "Sensei is right. If I'm brave, I can do anything!" Takuya: "So I made up my mind." Takuya: "When I went inside the hutch, I got chills and felt really nervous. H-Hey, mister?" Takuya: "I want to take care of the rabbits... So would you please leave?" Takuya: "B-But I'm the pet assistant, and I have to look after them. They'll die if I don't. The man said "no."" Takuya: "I don't want them to die, so... My teacher and classmates are counting on me! I tried my hardest to convince him. Please, could you leave?" Takuya: "He seemed to understand." Takuya: "Really? You'll leave? But he said I had to find a new place for him to live, in place of the rabbit hutch. Oh, right. That makes sense. But in that case..." Takuya: "Someplace you could live..." Takuya: "I wasn't sure what to do." Takuya: "I didn't want the man to come to my house. It'd be bad if he got into a fight with Mimi-chan." Takuya: "I didn't want to send him to one of my friends' houses, either. I was thinking about what kind of place would be good..." Takuya: "And then I remembered." Takuya: "This is it!"

Officer: "We've found the old woman's body, but there's no sign of Umeta." Hori: "Umeta... Umeta, he saved me!" Hori: "Please!" Officer: "We'll let you know if we find him." Hori: "I'm home..." Hori: "Umeta?! Umeta!" Hori: "You're so amazing, Umeta! Did you come all this way to see me?"

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain man whose son had passed away in an accident..." Dad: "Kiyoto..." Kiyoto: "Dad, you're taking too long! I'm gonna go on ahead." Dad: "Sorry. I'll catch up in a bit." Mom: "Do you have everything?" Kiyoto: "Yeah, I'm good!" Dad: "Don't forget the tiger we made together." Dad: "What's the point in making it if you forget all about it?" Kiyoto: "My bad! "We're leaving now."" Dad: "Hey, Mr. Tiger, take good care of Kiyoto-kun." Kiyoto: ""Of course. Leave him to me."" Kiyoto: "I'm off!" Mom: "Be careful!" Dad: "I'm glad he seems to be enjoying school." Mom: "I should certainly hope so, considering we finally bought a home." Dad: "Well, an apartment unit. Anyway, I shouldn't be chatting like this. I'm heading out." Mom: "You be careful, too, okay?" Dad: "I will." Dad: "If only I had left with you on that day..." Mom: "I can't do this anymore!" Dad: "Can't do what anymore?" Mom: "I don't want to be here!" Dad: "What are you saying? We just bought this place." Mom: "But I keep thinking about him!" Dad: "Are you trying to forget about Kiyoto? Is that it?" Mom: "You know better than that!" Dad: "I'm not going anywhere." Dad: "If you want to leave, suit yourself. This is still Kiyoto's home." Dad: "Naomi?" Dad: "You okay?" Dad: "You should get some rest, too." Dad: "I know she wouldn't really forget about you, Kiyoto." Dad: "But now I'm all alone." Dad: "Kiyoto, you'll stay with me, won't you?" Dad: "Was that the wind?" Dad: "Will you stay with me?" Dad: "Kiyoto! Is it really you?!" Dad: "Don't ever leave me again, okay?!" Dad: "Kiyoto!" Dad: "Y'know, I found a job! It's all thanks to you staying with me. I know you'd get mad if I spent all day sulking around the house. Plus, I'm driving a truck! Isn't that great? I know you loved big vehicles." Dad: "Kiyoto? Do you not want me to get a job?" Dad: "You're there, aren't you, Kiyoto?" Dad: "Don't scare me like that! I'm heading out now. I'd love to bring you with me, but people would think I was weird if I had a papier-mâché tiger. I'll give you a ride someday, okay? So be a good boy and wait here. Aw, man, look at the time... This isn't good. Okay! I'm heading out." Dad: "All right, I'm gonna give this my best shot!"

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain man waking from a nap..." Koichi: "It's already so late..." Akiko: "You're awake?" Koichi: "Yeah." Akiko: "I'm making dinner, so you can sleep a bit longer if you want." Koichi: "Nah, I'll get up. There's such a thing as too much sleep." Akiko: "All your favorites, right?" Koichi: "Yep. But is today a special occasion or something?" Akiko: "Not exactly..." Akiko: "You're being awfully quiet. Do you not like it?" Koichi: "Not at all. It's great." Akiko: "Okay. That's good." Koichi: "Is that me?" Koichi: "Who is that?" Koichi: "Look how late it is..." Akiko: "You had a nice nap. Dinner is almost ready." Koichi: "O-Okay..." Koichi: "My favorites again. Just like yesterday..." Akiko: "You're being awfully quiet." Koichi: "No, not really..." Koichi: "Say, is today some kind of..." Akiko: "It's not an anniversary." Koichi: "That's weird... I feel like we've done this before. I can clearly remember things up to the day before yesterday—" Akiko: "What's wrong?" Akiko: "Where are you going?" Koichi: "Wh-Why is my picture on the altar?" Akiko: "What do you mean? It's because..." Akiko: "Are you awake? You were sound asleep." Koichi: "I'm sure of it. I've been repeating the same day over and over. Yeah, I'll be over in a second. This is the third time. I need to confirm with Akiko." Akiko: "You're being awfully quiet." Koichi: "Nah... The conversation is the same, too." Koichi: "But the food is different from yesterday and the day before. They're still my favorites, but..." Akiko: "Honey... Have you noticed?" Koichi: "Akiko, how long have I been repeating the same day?" Koichi: "If you know, please tell me." Koichi: "Am I... dead?" Akiko: "You're not exactly repeating the same day." Akiko: "It's true that you did pass away..." Akiko: "But you've only been here for three days." Koichi: "You mean..." Koichi: "Then that shadow is..." Koichi: "I see." Akiko: "Looks like you have to go now." Koichi: "I guess so." Koichi: "Thanks for having me again this year." Akiko: "I always wish your ride back would take their time..." Koichi: "I'm gonna get going." Akiko: "I'll be waiting to see you again next year." Hiromi: "The Bon Festival's already over, huh?" Akiko: "It sure is." Hiromi: "Say, Mom..." Hiromi: "Did Dad already leave?" Akiko: "Just a second ago, yes." Hiromi: "And you're the only one who gets to see him every year? You think I'll ever get to see him?" Akiko: "Who can say? Maybe we'll find out next year." Hiromi: "That's such a long way off." Akiko: "Time flies, you know."

Intro: "Step right up and have a look... It's time for Yamishibai." : "This is the story of a certain man who's in a band..." Mari: "Nice, very nice! Come on, keep your tongue in your mouth! That's it, Mr. Rooster! Looking good! No, not the pose from London Calling! You'll wreck your bass!" Mikio: "This is Mr. Rooster. I don't know his real name. A month ago, our bassist quit out of the blue, so our vocalist, Mari, recruited him." Mikio: "Mr. Rooster's got a few weird things about him." Mikio: "Every now and then, he'll freeze up while he's staring at something." Mr. Rooster: "I dunno. I forgot." Mikio: "Every time someone asks him what he's looking at, he gives the same answer..." Mikio: "There are a few other odd things about him." Seniors: "We are so grateful... Thank you... Show them the way..." Mikio: "It makes no sense that the elderly in a Podunk town like this would worship a punk rocker." Seniors: "Because he shows the way." Mikio: "When I ask them about it, the answers tend to be along these lines, with not a lot of specifics on what "showing the way" means." Senior: "There are some things you're better off not knowing." Mikio: "That just makes me even more curious..." Mikio: "Mr. Rooster, exactly who are you? What are you always looking at? Why do those old people idolize you? What is going on? Why is any of this happening?" Rooster: "Mikio-san..." Mari: "Jeez, don't use Mr. Rooster as an alarm clock." Shinji: "You tired, Mikio?" Mari: "Not exactly..." Mikio: "What are you doing?" Shinji: "All right, well, break's over." Mikio: "For some reason, thinking about Mr. Rooster makes me feel tired..." Mari: "Yeah, before Mikio-kun falls asleep again." Shinji: "Come on, let's go." Mari: "Did you hear that, Mr. Rooster?" Shinji: "What's up? What're you looking at, Mr. Rooster?" Mari: "Hey, Mr. Rooster?" Rooster: "I dunno. I forgot." Shinji: "There he goes again." Mari: "He's always saying that!" Mikio: "I think there's... something... inside this studio. That'd explain why the rates are so low, and the rumors of it being haunted. I'm starting to wonder if whatever Mr. Rooster's looking at is..." Shinji: "All right, one more time! One, two..." Mikio: "Mr. Rooster's still staring. even while he's playing. What could he be looking at?" Mikio: "Crap! I'm feeling drowsy again. Why am I so tired?" Mikio: "No! I've gotta stay awake..." Mikio: "I saw it! Mr. Rooster! You're... I knew it..." Shinji: "Aw, man, Mikio's asleep again." Mikio: "Mr. Rooster!" Rooster: "Mikio-san?" Mikio: "I finally understand!" Rooster: "What?" Mikio: "You're guiding wandering spirits all over town to the other side!" Mikio: "I saw! In the studio, you sucked up this... thing! Come on, say something! I'm not gonna buy that you forgot this time!" Rooster: "Oh, I didn't forget. It's just that..." Mikio: "Just what?" Rooster: "If you saw, that means you need to join the procession of the dead." Mikio: "What does that mean?" Rooster: "Guide him to the underworld." Mikio: "What're you looking at?" Mikio: "What's that sound?" Mikio: "Help!" Rooster: "Will you keep my secret?" Mikio: "I will, Mr. Rooster!" Rooster: "Wake up." Mari: "You okay? Did you have a nightmare or something?" Mikio: "A-Are we in the studio?" Shinji: "You still dreaming, Mikio?" Mikio: "A d-dream? Was it... a dream, Mr. Rooster?" Rooster: "I dunno. I forgot." Mikio: "I still don't know if what I saw was a dream or real. Because ever since that day, I've stopped trying to figure out what Mr. Rooster's deal is."
