Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This annual TV special has run since 1999, making it Japan's longest-running horror anthology—think 'Unsolved Mysteries' but actually scary and without Robert Stack's trench coat.
Kanna Hashimoto filmed her segment during her idol-to-actress transition; she specifically requested horror to shake her 'cute girl' image. The screaming helped.
