SADAKO VS KAYAKO

Hello!

Ms Yasue!

I'm Tachibana, District Welfare Officer.

You haven't been seen lately, are you OK?

Ms Yasue?

I'm coming in.

Ms Yasue, at least reply to me.

Ms Yasue...

"Seian University of the Arts"

Let's review some common urban legends.

Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Hanako of the Toilet.

Red Cape.

Boy Under the Bed.

House of Death.

Cursed Video.

Have you all heard of these urban legends?

Yes.

In that case,

who knows someone

with actual personal experience?

None of you.

Why is that?

Because they are just 'fabrications'.

As with folklore, the result of

people telling stories.

Cultural transmissions called 'memes'.

However,

"this Cursed Video..."

differs from the rest.

I just can't get it out of my mind.

The Cursed Video is a typical urban

legend of the late '90s.

If you watch the mysterious video,

a ghost named Sadako will telephone you,

saying that you'll die after two days.

Two days later, after 48 hours,

Sadako will appear before you,

and you really will die.

Video tapes stopped being used,

this urban legend almost disappeared.

But even now...

I think the 'Cursed Video exists,

Sadako is real'.

But if it did exist, these days it would be

all over the lnternet.

I'd pay a lot of money

if you had the real video.

Hang on, I'm serious!

I really want to see Sadako.

But bring it to me within two days!

If you wonder why l'm so obsessed

with that video,

the reason is...

written in this book.

I wrote it.

Self-published by me, Shinichi Morishige.

Please buy it.

Well, that's all for today.

Hey Yuri, you're good with equipment.

Better than you, Natsumi...

Please help with this.

What is it? A video tape?

Yeah.

Parents got rid of their deck,

haven't seen it for a long time.

Really?

-Their wedding video?

-Yeah.

So l promised to burn a DVD as a present

for their upcoming anniversary, but...

You did? Totally impossible for you.

That's why I'm asking clever Ms Yuri...

Well, I'll think about it...

When's the anniversary?

Day after tomorrow...

In two days?

Send it tomorrow?

I guess that's true...

How about five lunches?

OK. I'll do it.

Suzuka, we've arrived!

Oh, it seems you're angry about

suddenly moving?

Huh? But we had to move because of my job...

Just kidding!

Thanks.

Please be careful.

How about this box?

-Suzuka's room, 2nd floor.

-Alright.

Also for the 2nd floor.

"KEEP OUT"

"Second-Hand Shop MATSUl"

You come here often?

My bus goes along that street.

You've never come in!

Welcome!

Yuri, will such a place

really have a video deck?

Actually, only a place like this.

Isn't such outdated equipment expensive?

I'm sure they're cheap!

Nobody uses video decks anymore.

Maybe this way?

Found them!

This one is cheap!

But it's so dirty.

Long as it works, and it's cheap.

-Here you go.

-Hang on. Yuck...

So dirty...

Why did l have to carry everything? Horrible...

I let you use this room,

and I'm Chief Engineer.

You're Operations Manager.

You can't just decide things...

Good, seems OK.

What's this?

Want to watch?

No way, it's disgusting!

Don't watch if you don't want to.

Huh?

Stop, I knew we shouldn't watch it.

Doesn't show anything?

"MINORI:
Free on Sunday?"

Huh? Done already?

Can we watch again?

Don't!

What's wrong, Natsumi?

Yuri...

This may be...

the Cursed Video.

Cursed Video?

Morishige will pay us a lot...

No!

It was so creepy...

What's wrong? Let me watch.

But if it really is the video,

I may die after two days.

It's obviously just someone's prank.

Sadako didn't call...

Yuri...

"Caller lD Hidden"

Natsumi...

What's wrong?

Natsumi, are you OK?

-Mitsuko...

-Yeah?

I sold that video deck with the Cursed Video.

Sold it with the video inside?

Yeah, a good deal.

Cursed Video?

Says there was a weird video in the video deck.

If you watch the Cursed Video,

you die two days later.

Two days later?

They say a ghost calls you. Name is...Sadako?

There actually was a call after I watched it.

Oh? Really?

Just a silent prank call.

But the timing was right on.

Around this time two days ago,

I watched it to check the deck.

Guess I'll die soon!

Huh?

Mitsuko, did you watch?

I didn't watch it.

Keiko, what did it show?

Keiko?

Keiko...

Hey! Hey!

Hey, stop...

Don't!

So, you Takagi's live right in

front of that house?

What? Front of that dirty, abandoned house?

Well...yeah.

I thought so!

What's wrong?

You'd know if you looked around inside.

That place...is a haunted house.

Haunted house?

Long ago, there was a murder-suicide there.

A husband stabbed his wife to death,

drowned his young son in the bath.

Then the husband hung himself.

Is it true?

Yeah, probably. Everybody knows about it.

It's famous.

What do you mean by 'long ago'?

Maybe decades ago...

I guess so.

But the real problem is that...

everyone who has lived there

after that has died.

Yeah, from things like suicide or sudden death.

And murder, or accidental death.

Hey, what's that card?

People who enter that house die from the curse,

so nobody will live there.

You must not go near that house.

Because this is the worst combination of cards.

"Temporarily Closed"

Sorry, we're closed today...

Actually...

We bought this video deck here yesterday,

and found this tape inside.

Did you watch it?

Yes...
