Mai Hino

The 7th installment of the omnibus horror series that visualizes the horror thread that has become a hot topic on 2ch. Includes 5 episodes: "Lullaby", "Hasshaku-sama", "I killed my mother", "Please look for this person", and "My sister has returned to her parents' house after a long absence".

What colour is black? What colour is white? Hideo, who has been blind since birth, likes to have his wife Izumi recite Rimbaud's poem "Vowels" to him. On the day of his eye operation, when the bandages will be removed in three days' time, he asks Izumi to recite the poem in a state of heightened anticipation and anxiety. Rimbaud's poem, which begins "A is black, woo is white, ae is red...", was the starting point for this work, which confirms the "seeing" in everyday life: explaining a painting, watching a video, going for a jog. Gradually, even for the "sighted" spectator, ordinary scenery such as a wire in the sky or a vending machine at night begins to look beautiful. It is as if the "will to see" is the reason why we "really see".

Storyteller Shûhei Shimada who has experienced many horror stories, and his female guests "Risa Mitadera" and "Mai Hino" go to the ruins of a former Japanese military facility that was used during the war.
