■ Messages from the cast
Yamakazu: Yuya Takaki
“I play the role of an aggressive streamer. I thought about a lot of things while I was acting, so I hope you’ll pay attention to how Yamakazu changes towards the second half of the drama.
It was my first time working on a horror film, so it was a good experience for me. The film itself brings out the subtle, scary aspects of human nature, so I hope the viewer can experience that raw, realistic horror.
I hope that viewers will also think about how Yamakazu will change and what will happen next.”
