I still remember watching this TV special back when I was living in Japan, and the experience has stayed with me ever since. The special was heavily promoted, and the buzz around it was incredible. Everyone I knew was talking about the upcoming broadcast, speculating about what might happen, and wondering just how terrifying it would be. From the very start, the show did an incredible job of making every story feel real. The production, the pacing, and the atmosphere were all carefully crafted so that even the guests seemed genuinely unsettled, completely unaware that everything was staged. Watching it unfold live, knowing the audience around the country was experiencing the same intense, suspenseful moments, made it feel like a shared thrill that was both chilling and unforgettable. It’s a rare kind of program that manages to balance horror and realism so perfectly, and it remains one of the most memorable TV specials I’ve ever seen. It is basically Koji Shiraishi's Japanese version of Ghostwatch. He pulled it off and amazed everyone.
