"A... B... C... D... E..."
What are you doing?
It's a secret
Practicing your writing?
Hey, isn't that a Ouija board?
Ouija board?
You don't know?
I know.
We did it in middle school
Pretty retro
It's not a game to play in high school
It's not a game
Wasn't Ouija banned in middle school?
As if the school could control Ouija!
In middle school, a girl in a seance
suddenly started gasping
Wasn't it just anemia?
You ask it stuff like,
"Who has a crush on me?"
It could be more fun to play now!
Stop it. You can be heard
By whom?
Once you call a spirit, it lingers
Lingers?
Why not?
A mysterious transfer student
Stop it!
Why are you so serious!
This coin could hardly move
on its own, right?
You move it yourself
In other words,
it's like a frank conversation
Finished
Hold on
Where's the shrine gate?
Both of you, put out your hands
Our hands?
Ah, you mean for palm reading?
Put your hands on mine
You sure this is the Ouija game?
It's scary
What do we do now?
Move the coin with our other hands?
Apologize
Huh? What do you mean?
Both of you, apologize
Apologize for what?
Forget about that.
Let's start the game
Apologize
Forget it. I'm sick of this
Who the hell are you!
Let go of me!
KOTODAMA - SPIRITUAL CURSE
Huh?
What?
The 10 yen coins
What is it, mom?
"YEAR 1 CLASS 3"
A once sullied conscience
will never be pure again
"YEAR 1 CLASS 5"
What are you doing, Mei?
What are you standing here for?
Just thinking about the room next door
Room?
It's a classroom
That's all, right?
It's Year 1 Class 4, right?
It was Class 4
There used to be more students
so we had Class 4 and 5
Now there are only three classes
But there's still Class 5
Half of this school building is unused
Even with fewer students,
the building stays the same
It's probably a storeroom
Storeroom?
I don't know for sure, but I think so
Mom
Do you want to tell me something?
All four coins are dated 1988
Mom
What is it?
Did something happen in 1988?
"DIARY 1985"
"DIARY 1988"
Isn't it weirdly hot today?
It's too hot!
I want to dive into a pool of iced water
Don't keep saying how hot it is.
It feels even hotter
If it's hot, you say it's hot!
It's hot in there too, right?
Class 4
What is it, Yuri?
Nothing
Class 4 is next to Class 3, right?
Stop it. There's no Class 4
That's right. There is no Class 4
So why was it abandoned?
Abandoned?
Just Class 4... yet Class 5 remains
Just bad luck
Eh! Is that true?
Because 4 can be read as "death"?
So there was no Class 4
from the beginning?
No. If that were the case,
Class 4s would disappear from all Japan
But there are hotels with no Room 4
You mean like buildings abroad
with no 13th Floor?
Stop this creepy talk!
Room 42 is seriously weird
Weird, how?
I stayed at this hotel once...
and saw this boarded-up room
It was room number 42
Stop it!
I went to the room
in the middle of the night
There was this rattling sound...
like something trying to get out of a well
A woman's hoarse voice saying...
"Let me out!"
"Let me out of here!"
Stop it!
Well, you said it was hot
That cooled you down a bit, right?
It's just a silly story, Mei
It used to exist
Next door used to be Class 4
So why is it like that now?
It was sealed up after an accident
An accident?
How do you mean, sealed up?
There was a poison gas incident
Gas?
Poison?
Did someone release gas
in the classroom?
It came from underground
Underground?
Is this for real?
Yeah
Suddenly gas leaked
in the middle of class
Students started falling unconscious...
one... after another...
they bowed down at their desk
The teacher who noticed the change...
thought they were all sleeping at first
Even the English teacher
giving the lesson...
collapsed over the teacher's desk
Was it natural gas?
It could have been a chemical weapon...
developed during the w*r
and buried underground
Did they die?
They were all rushed to hospital...
but only a few came back to school
Why was only Class 4 affected?
The gas was buried right underneath it
So Class 4...
was the "death class" after all
Yuji, how long ago was this?
I dunno
There should be records, news articles,
on such a major incident
Someone's tricked you, Yuji
Believe what you like
But that's the true story of next door...
Year 1 Class 4
"August 5. I need to write down my
feelings about Class 4 vanishing"
"It happened last month, July 18"
"An unidentified gas rose up in class.
The teacher and all the students...
were rushed to hospital"
"But only 8 students returned"
"The death of a single classmate is
painful enough"
"Their parents gave me 10 yen coins"
"When I die,
I hope you'll all come see me"
"I'll bring the 10 yen coins with me"
July 18
00:17:25,045 --> 00:17:28,631
Uh, first, calculate cosine theta...
AM = MD...
= 2A
So, sine...
What?
Don't mess around
I'm not
Can't you hear a strange noise?
Noise?
I can hear a weird noise from behind me
No
You're such a scaredy-cat, Mei
It's an old building.
The steel frame shrinks, pipes creak...
it happens all the time
And the sound of Class 4's footsteps
They died in their sleep,
so they've not realized yet...
You mean they're
still studying next door?
Stop it
You know Mei's a scaredy-cat
Don't take any notice
Looks great. We can sh**t something
awesome here
Which room? The science lab?
The toilet of course
The toilet? It's gotta stink
Deal with it. Anyway, the stink won't
show on screen
Kazuki! Let's go back
Don't worry
What happens if we're found?
Don't worry about it.
I'll deal with it then
I'll say I didn't know
When we're caught,
you take responsibility!
Shall we practice?
Hey, that girl...
Who is it? Stop messing around!
Open up!
Open the door!
Did you see?
Did you see?
Stop it!
What did you see?
Stop it!
Open up!
Please, someone open the door!
Open up!
Please, open up, help!
Let me out!
Please, help me!
Please help!
Help me!
Help me please!
Help me please!
Help me please!
Yuri, what's wrong?
Yuri!
Woah!
How ‘bout that!
We're really hitting another level now
Hey, why are you making it so filthy?
It's fine. Nobody's using it anyway
That's not it!
I bet somebody'll come
I'm ready
Wow! Awesome. You look great!
I wet my hair too
Look at you, all smug! It's gross
Disgusting!
Hitomi. Don't scream
when you see Yoshito
The set up is that you only notice him
in playback, not during the sh**t
I can't do it
Don't say that. We've come this far
Hey, come here a minute
This story's so unrealistic
No girl would be so stupid as
to come in here
Why don't you do it yourself!
You idiot.
It's scary because a girl's doing it
That's what horror is about
A helpless girl in a place
she shouldn't be...
that's horror!
- I'm not helpless - What?
Shall we do a test?
A test?
Make fox heads with both hands
Twist them around and join your fingers
Peep through the window you just made
Can you see anything?
Um, no
It's called the Fox's Window.
You can see the spirit world
Huh! Stop it!
It's fine. You're helpless enough
See, you are helpless
What's your normal temperature?
Around 35 degrees
Well you don't have a fever then
You'll recover if you sleep
Yuri, what happened?
What happened?
I'm fine. It was just anemia
Sorry
Sorry for what, Mei?
I'm such a scaredy-cat,
it's affected you too
No
It's not that. It's not your fault
Let her sleep
Yes
You're OK, right?
Thanks
Now, you have a good sleep
Nurse!
What?
No, it's fine
You are a strange one
If you have something to say, say it
Um, I...
What is it?
I...
You have a crush on a boy?
It's not that!
Just go to sleep
Don't think about anything, just sleep
On a day like today
A day like today?
They say this used to be a hospital
Really?
Oh no, stop it!
You really love urban legends
It's true! I checked the town records
It's not something I heard from someone
Do you know the story about the girl
who vanished from the hospital?
- No! What is it?
- You don't know?
This little girl in hospital
woke up in the middle of the night...
and went out of her room
looking for her mother
A nurse realized and started
looking for her...
but she was nowhere to be seen
anywhere in the hospital
In the morning, all they found was
her sandals
Her sandals?
She'd kicked them off
in front of a mirror
A mirror?
Where had the girl vanished to?
The rumor was she'd been sucked
into the mirror
That mirror is still here
You don't mean, that mirror?
Yes! That one.
The large mirror on the staircase
Stop messing around
This was never a hospital
Why are you so mad?
It's all just a made-up story right?
Stop!
Even if it is just a story,
you shouldn't tell it
What is it, Mei?
Don't you know about Kotodama?
Kotodama?
The power of words to attract
Attract?
When you say something out loud,
it can make it real
The spoken word has that power
I want a hot boyfriend
You'll get one soon!
Now you've said it
That's what you mean, right, Mei?
Hey, Yoshito. Are you ready?
- Yeah, in a minute
- Let's sh**t
OK, let's do it
We're sh**ting Yoshito!
Creepy!
Looks like something will appear
At first I thought, "Why would a girl
come to this weird place?"
But then I thought again,
and it's still... stupid!
It's scary!
Ah, gross!
There's not going to be
anything in here, right?
Creepy
- Wow! Did you see that?
- I saw it! Fantastic work!
Wow!
It's the real thing!
That'll get over 100,000 views
on the net
We'll get loads of sponsors
Hey Yoshito! Come see this
Yoshito
You can come out now
What's he up to?
What the hell is he doing?
Using the toilet maybe?
No sh*t
What?
Taking a dump
Seriously?
What if we sh**t the ghost
taking a dump…
could be fun?
Where the hell is he?
Idiot
Yoshito!
What's up with you! You startled me
It's a fantastic shot
I'll show you
I don't care
Look at this!
It's awesome.
You look like you're floating!
What's up with you?
Hey, where's Hitomi?
Hitomi!
Hitomi!
Hitomi!
Hitomi!
Nurse!
What?
Oh... it's OK
You are a strange one
You can tell me anything
Um...
Are there any strange rumors
about this school?
Strange rumors?
Or scary stories...
No, there's nothing like that
But... I...
Stop thinking weird thoughts
But...
If you imagine weird things...
But I saw it!
What?
I...
What... did you see?
Don't come near me!
Hey, Hitomi!
Where's she gone?
Who cares?
We got something awesome here!
If we get a bite here, we need a 2nd and
3rd clip or we lose out on the money
Which way did I come in?
They think I really am a stupid girl
Huh?
This is where we came in right?
We must have gone wrong somewhere
Maybe someone fixed it
while we were sh**ting?
No way
How did Hitomi get out?
Oh no
I never took this route
What is this place?
I hate it!
Which way?
Which way is it?
Yuri?
Excuse me
Where's Yuri?
She went back
Went back?
She went back to the classroom
But... she's not in the classroom
She went back
You should go back
immediately too
To the classroom
Whose are these?
Yuri!
Look over here! Miyu!
What the hell?
What the hell?
Miyu!
Miyu! Miyu!
Hey, Miyu!
What did you see?
We didn't come this way
I know. Do you wanna find
the exit or not?
Where are we?
Something's not right
Shut up, Yoshito
Where's the exit?
How about thinking
for yourselves once!
Something's definitely not right
Shut up!
I shouldn't have been on the video
When you came in to sh**t
in the toilet...
I didn't show my face
I was squatting down
What were you up to?
In that case...
What the hell is that?
I don't know!
Don't get worked up!
I don't know what that is on the tape!
But...
Isn't this you, Yoshito?
Give it to me!
What the hell?
What's going on?
It's fine
If we've captured the real thing,
it's even better!
Bullshit! I'm the one who shot it
Shut it!
No need to tremble just because
you shot a ghost!
You're like a person from the past
afraid that a camera will steal his soul
Don't say that
That means, since I shot a ghost,
I captured its spirit!
Even better!
A ghost's spirit resides in this video!
Don't say that!
Forget it!
Just think about getting out of here!
Hold on
Before that, you'd better apologize
Apologize?
If you don't apologize...
it'll probably...
follow us
That's bullshit
Yoshito's probably right
Not you too!
Why should we apologize?
We've done nothing wrong!
We're just trying to entertain people!
- Who's that?
- How do I know!
She photographed us!
Maybe she knows where the exit is?
Maybe she does, but we shouldn't
show our faces!
She's already seen us, and
photographed our faces!
Is she human?
Maybe it's the thing
that's following us?
Enough of your bullshit!
We've been seen
Maybe
We've definitely been seen!
So why didn't she react to us?
I don't know
Because she's not human
Shut up Yoshito!
What are you doing?
We can't take this with us.
We have to dispose of it here
Don't! I'll take it back
What are you going to do with it?
Put it on the web of course!
Don't! Putting it on the web is no joke!
Don't you want the money?
I don't want money from this!
Who knows how we'll be punished!
What a pair of spineless losers!
Even if ghosts did exist...
we living things are stronger
You've not seen one
You've not seen one,
that's why you can say that
Yoshito...
What did you see?
Hey... tell us!
What did you see in the toilet?
How can we know unless you tell us?
Apologize?
Who are we supposed to apologize to?
When you were sh**ting in the toilet...
the face that appeared...
wasn't me
Hey, Yoshito. Are you ready?
We're going to sh**t
Yeah, in a minute
OK, let's do it
We're sh**ting Yoshito!
Yuck! It's creepy
Looks like something will appear
At first I thought, "Why would a girl
come to this weird place?"
Gimme, gimme!
Gimme, gimme!
Gimme, gimme!
Gimme, gimme!
It's scary!
Ah, gross!
There's nothing here is there?
Scary
Apologize
Though you probably won't be forgiven
Welcome back
Hey, something's wrong
Wrong?
Nobody's around
Nobody?
We're the only ones in school!
The only ones!
What the hell is going on!
You gotta be joking!
You gotta be joking!
This can't be right
This is the same corridor as before!
What the hell!
Stop it! Stop it!
What's this?
What the hell is it?
"Year 1 Class 4"
Why are we locked in?
What's happening?
We're being punished
Punished?
We...
were laughing and talking nonsense
Nonsense?
This used to be a hospital, and...
there was a gas incident
next door in Class 4
That's why these three...
as if sleeping
Hold on!
The story about Class 4 is true!
Did we attract this?
Is this Kotodama like Mei said?
Calm down everyone
Now we can't get out of here
And this is my fault now?
That story about Room 42 in the hotel
You saying my story is
the cause of this?
She didn't say that
It was just a made-up story
There's no locked Room 42...
and I never heard a woman's voice
You idiot!
That's exactly what Kotodama is!
Something said carelessly...
that becomes real
Shall we
get out of this classroom?
We should
This is where we told the weird stories
Yeah
"Broadcasting Room"
What's this?
Dunno
They're looking at us
sh*t. They could report us
Wait
It's the same for them
What is it?
What are you doing here?
Same for you.
What are you doing here?
Same as you
What do you mean?
We came into the school building...
out of curiosity
What do you mean, curiosity?
We're students here
How do we get out of here?
We can't open any of the doors
We don't know
But you're students here, aren't you?
Leave it
Something's not right with them
Hello
Hello, Kitayamada High School
What's that?
What's what?
Who is it?
My name is Shiori
Did you hear something?
I'm a graduate of this school
Now, it's a school with no students
But...
it's full of its graduates' memories
A school with no students?
Unfortunately...
my year was the final graduation year
Did she say, final graduation year?
This school building...
will only exist in our memories
Kitayamada High School...
will be a school that only remains
in our memories
What nonsense is this?
What does she mean,
a school only in memory?
We're not someone else's memory!
What's wrong with them?
What are they talking about?
Let's go, before we go crazy too
Soon...
the school building will disappear
Disappear?
This old building...
so familiar to all its graduates...
will be demolished soon
Demolished?
When was that decided?
The three years
I spent here were brilliant
However...
to the graduates...
not all the memories...
were enjoyable
"Diary 1988"
Today...
when I read the diary of my mom,
who also graduated here...
I discovered this school's sad memory
The end-of-term exams were over...
after school on a summer day
near the end of the semester...
the accident happened
Accident
It was...
during English class
Gas leaked into the classroom...
k*lling students in a terrible accident
A gas leak?
This accident...
Is it the one...
that Yuji was talking about?
My mother...
was a student in Year 1 Class 4
The class in the accident
It's a lie!
What's wrong, Yuji?
That day...
mom's class...
Year 1 Class 4 disappeared
She...
recorded that day in her diary
By chance, that day...
she...
caught a cold and stayed home
And so escaped the accident
But...
in an instant...
she was pulled to
the depths of solitude
To my mother...
of course, losing her close friends
from middle school days...
and then the whole of Class 4...
was really painful
Stop it!
But...
Your story was true, right?
I made it up
It was a made-up story
Of course it was a made-up story!
A story told becomes real
Kotodama
The words attracted it!
Shut up!
Stop your nonsense!
Mom...
when she entered here in the spring...
the four friends...
took 10 yen coins minted in that year...
placed them
in the palms of their hands...
and pledged their friendship...
with 10 yen coins dated 1988
1988?
1988, what?
It's 1988 now!
That's right! This year is 1988!
So she's saying...
the gas incident has just happened?
What's going on?
Hey, somebody explain!
My mother...
passed away last year
She...
kept those precious 10 yen coins...
until the very end
Today...
I discovered those 10 yen coins
left to me...
and, for the first time, their meaning
And today, July 18...
is the day of the accident
So I decided to come here...
on behalf of my mother
to express her gratitude...
to the vanished Year 1 Class 4 of 1988
Especially...
the girls who were close to her...
and the owners of
the three other 10 yen coins
Ayano
Miyu
Yuri
Thank you so much...
for being good friends to my mother
She...
used to dream about meeting you again
right to the end...
so she wrote in her diary
If you see her over there...
please be good friends again
I'll never...
forget you
Thank you...
and goodbye
Say...
what year is it exactly now?
Isn't it 1988?
That means I'm in Class 4?
She called my name too!
Am I in Class 4 too?
That means me too?
Stop talking nonsense!
Class 4 is dead!
What the hell is going on!
What the hell are we?
Answer me!
Somebody answer me!
Answer me!
So what exactly is the Year 1...
Class 4 classroom?
"July 18 1988"
That's the day of the accident
"Year 1 Class 4"
Is this for real?
Shut up and watch
This is Year 1 Class 4 classroom,
Kitayamada High
We're students in this class,
Yuri, Miyu and Ayano
This is before the accident
Is anyone there? Please answer
Yes
Hey, someone's here!
Are they moving it themselves?
Who are you?
D... E...
V... I...
L...
Devil!
Isn't it Mr. Ouija?
First time I've heard of the Devil
By the way, you forgot to say
Ouija, Ouija at the start
And you forgot to draw
the shrine gate
Even so, it's bound to be the spirit
of the Ouija board
Miyu, you shouldn't talk to anyone
else while in contact
She's deadly serious
But is it really OK to contact the Devil?
Won't he take something precious
from you?
Say, let's stop
I'm scared
You shouldn't say that
We're still in contact
The Devil can hear you
What are you doing?
Don't film us
Who has a crush on Yuri?
Stop it! Who? Don't ask that!
I... M...
P...
Imp? Who's that?
The Devil himself?
Come on, let's stop now
No. If you stop mid-seance,
you have to apologize
Yes, it's rude to the
spirit of the Ouija board
Not the spirit of Ouija... the Devil!
Hey, you OK?
Miyu, look up!
What's wrong Miyu?
Wow! You really are all cowards!
You shouldn't mess around like that!
Unbelievable
I give up. Be it on your own heads!
Take care of them
I'm sorry. It was wrong of me
Ayano
Yuri, you needn't cry
Stop filming
I'm really sorry
It's your fault
What do you mean, Mei?
Mei?
You summoned it
You humiliated it
Why are you there?
Weren't you home with a cold, mom?
What is it mom?
"MEI FUJISHIRO"
Weren't you home with a cold?
Mom?
You summoned it
Why?
Why me?
Because you sullied it
That hurts!
Yuri
Ayano
Let me go!
It hurts!
Please let go!
Please stop!
Let me go!
Please, stop! Let me go!
Stop it, please!
Let me go!
Ayano
Let me go
Let go
What is it?
Let go
Accident...
What accident?
Mom...
what accident?
It was no accident!
Mom...
what did you mean gas leak?
I remember
That time, we...
It's because you used the Ouija board
Don't blame us
It's cos you messed around
You blaming me now?
All of you
You messed around with the Ouija board!
After all I told you!
I...
I haven't done anything
that deserves death
Someone's responsible for my death
Why did I have to die?
Why?
It's not just you, I died too!
It's bullshit!
All of you should have died, not me!
Stop your jabbering!
We're all dead!
You too
You too
You too!
Shut up!
Just stop it!
Why?
Why, mom?
Hey, is this for real?
Just shut up and watch
Right
This is Year 1 Class 4,
Kitayamada High
We're students in this class.
Is anyone there?
D... E...
V... I...
L...
Devil!
Isn't it Mr. Ouija?
Who has a crush on Yuka?
Stop it! Don't ask that!
I...
M...
P...
IMP? Who's that?
The Devil himself?
Gross
Let's stop now
You shouldn't say that
You're still in contact
If you want to stop, you must apologize
So, Miharu, do you have a boyfriend?
Stop it!
Why? There's a rumor going round...
There is not! What?
No? What about last month's...
What did you see?
