Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Megumi Hisawa's popular novel series that reimagines Edo-period ghost stories through a healing, almost therapeutic lens rather than horror.
Yuya Tegoshi and Yuya Takaki were both in NEWS and Hey! Say! JUMP respectively — casting two Johnny's idols was a deliberate ratings play for the TV movie format.
