Yami Shibai 9

Synopsis

This tale integrates elements from the traditional Japanese folktale Urashima Tarou. A young man named Yuusuke is night fishing on a pier with his coworker Takayuki; they aren't having much luck, so he goes to a nearby vending machine. Once there, Yūsuke is approached by an old man, who rambles about a place where anyone can do and eat anything they want. Yūsuke dismisses this as drunk nattering; he's about to excuse himself, but the old man is already gone. He returns to the pier; Takayuki has a stony expression. Just as he gets a bite, Takayuki begins telling a story - some time ago, he lost his job and was very depressed. One night when he was fishing, he was approached by a beautiful woman, who invited him to spend a year in a place of unimaginable freedom and luxury; he longs for a chance to return. As he rambles on, a woman with long dark hair rises from the water. Takayuki is elated; he begs her to take him back to that place, and asks to bring Yuusuke along. Yuusuke watches in horror as Takayuki instantly ages into an old man. Later, an elderly Yuusuke is standing at the pier, obsessively muttering to himself about how much he wants to go back to that place...
