Captured!
Directed by Kouichi
High school senior Sato Misaki lives with her single mother and, not wanting to burden her family financially, decides to forgo higher education and find a job in her hometown. As she spends her final days of high school working part-time, her best friend Hashimoto Satsuki — aiming for university at her parents’ urging — is far more interested in posting on social media. One day, a mysterious ghostlike figure appears in a vlog Misaki films, and the video goes viral overnight. Seeing an opportunity, the two begin posting a series of fake paranormal videos, earning advertising revenue from their growing online fame. But as their ambition grows, they seek greater thrills and sneak into an abandoned building rumored to be haunted in their hometown — only to capture something real on camera that they can never take back. Worse yet, during the trip, Misaki prays to a roadside Jizo statue and becomes possessed by a “god” wearing traditional robes and a mask-like face.
