Biography

Yasushi Akimoto a notamment produit avec succès les groupes d'idoles japonaises Onyanko Club dans les années 1980, et AKB48 et ses dérivés (SKE48, SDN48, etc.) dans les années 2000 puis 2010, écrivant la plupart de leurs chansons et popularisant le concept des groupes d'idols multiples qui sera repris par d'autres, comme Tokyo Performance Doll et le Hello! Project. Il épouse en 1988 une de ses artistes, Mamiko Takai d'Onyanko Club. Il écrit aussi pour le cinéma et la télévision, dont les scénarios des films La Mort en ligne et sa suite ainsi que le roman original dont ils sont tirés, et de Densen Uta (alias The Suicide Song). Il compose de nombreuses chansons et collabore avec de nombreux artistes, dont Tunnels, Checkicco, Asami...

En janvier 2010, il annonce son intention d'exporter le concept d'AKB48 à d'autres pays du monde, des compagnies de six pays dont la Thaïlande, Singapour, la Chine, et l'Italie s'étant déjà déclarées intéressées par l'idée de créer leur propre groupe d'idols sur le même modèle. C'est ce qu'il a déjà fait en Indonésie avec JKT48.

College student Yoko Okazaki receives a phone call accompanied by an eerie, unusual ringtone, which goes to voicemail. The call is from Yoko's own number, dated two days to the future. Yoko and her friend Yumi Nakamura listen to the voicemail, hearing Yoko's voice chatting casually, followed by a horrendous scream and then dead silence. Two days later, Yoko calls Yumi that night to discuss shopping plans. Yumi realizes that Yoko is on the exact routine as the voicemail they'd heard before, but can only hear Yoko screaming after she is violently dragged off onto a speeding commuter train, which kills her. Her head then vomits a red candy upon death as her detached hand, still clutching her phone, calls a number. Several days later, Yoko's boyfriend, Kenji Kawai, reveals to Yumi that he had also received a voicemail accompanied by the same ringtone as Yoko's right after her death. Yumi then watches as Kenji is pulled into an empty elevator shaft to his death. He also spits out a red candy and calls a number, like Yoko.
