KOMIYA, the cameraman, has lowered his camera. We can now see that
the young girl being interviewed is seated at a table between two
friends, a SHORT-HAIRED GIRL (GIRL#2) and a LONG-HAIRED GIRL (GIRL #3).
They are all dressed in the UNIFORMS of junior high school students.
Opposite them sits Komiya and Asakawa, a pretty woman in her mid-
twenties. A BOOM MIKE GUY stands to the left.
KOMIYA:
Uh, don�t look right at the camera,
OK?
YOUNG GIRL:
Sorry.
ASAKAWA:
Let�s do it again.
Asakawa glances over her shoulder, makes sure that Komiya is ready.
ASAKAWA:
Have you heard what kind of video
it might be?
YOUNG GIRL:
What I heard was, all of a sudden
this scaaarry lady comes on the
screen and says, �In one week, you
will die.�
GIRL #2
I heard that if you�re watching TV
late at night it�ll come on, and
then your phone�ll ring.
ASAKAWA:
Watching TV late at night... do you
know what station?
GIRL #2
Mmmm... I heard some local station,
around Izu.
ASAKAWA:
Izu?
GIRL #2
Mmm-hmm.
ASAKAWA:
And, do you know if anyone�s really
died from watching it?
The girl flashes a look at her two friends.
YOUNG GIRL:
Well, no one that we know, right?
Girl #2 nods her head. Girl #3 nods slowly, opens and closes her
mouth as if deciding whether to say something or not. The
reporter notices.
ASAKAWA:
What is it?
GIRL #3
I heard this from a friend of mine
in high school. She said that there
was this one girl who watched the
video, and then died a week later.
She was out on a drive with her
boyfriend.
ASAKAWA:
They were in a wreck?
GIRL #3
No, their car was parked, but they
were both dead inside. Her
boyfriend died because he�d watched
the video, too. That�s what my
friend said.
Girl #3 grows suddenly defensive.
GIRL #3 (cont�d)
It�s true! It was in the paper two
or three days ago.
ASAKAWA:
Do you know the name of the high
school this girl went to?
GIRL #3
No... I heard this from my friend,
and it didn�t happen at her school.
She heard it from a friend at a
different school, she said.
Asakawa is seated at her DESK. The station is filled with PEOPLE,
scrabbling to meet deadlines. Komiya walks up to Asakawa�s desk
and holds out a MANILA FOLDER.
KOMIYA:
Mrs. Asakawa?
ASAKAWA:
Hm?
KOMIYA:
Here you are.
ASAKAWA:
(taking the folder)
Thanks.
Komiya has a seat.
KOMIYA:
This same kind of thing happened
about ten years ago too, didn�t it?
Some popular young singer committed
suicide, and then suddenly there was
all this talk about her ghost showing
up on some music show.
ASAKAWA:
But I wonder what this rumor�s all
about. Everyone you ask always
mentions �Izu.�
