Tales of the Bizarre Season 1 Episodes
The Touch of Terror
Satomi Ayukawa (Miho Nakayama) has a strange power: when she touches an object, she sees the past of the person connected to it. She's just seen an unpleasant part of an arranged-marriage prospect's past. Later, her car stalls on a mountain pass and a man (Johnny Okura) gives her a lift. In the passenger seat she picks up a pendant — and an image of a woman being strangled floods into her mind.
The Rumored Makio
High schooler Natsuko Yamazaki (Kaori Sakagami) discovers various rumors written on her younger brother's floppy disk. On a whim, she adds a rumor she invents herself: that if you play with a lone boy named Makio in the park at night, you'll never come home. The rumor spreads instantly and gradually becomes true.
Consort Yang's Board Game
Kazuyuki Yamada (Hironobu Nomura) was thinking of marrying Yoko Karasawa (Azusa Nakamura), but she's easily stolen away by a rich man, leaving him bitter. A strange old man appears and tells him of a sugoroku (board game) that Yang Guifei played with the men she gathered in China's Tang dynasty. Reach the goal and you become fabulously wealthy — but whatever is written on the square you land on comes true.
