Actors Miho Kanno and Eiji Akaso appeared at the Tokyo experiential premiere (stage greeting) for the film "About a Place in the Kinki Region" (directed by Koji Shiraishi, to be released on August 8th) held in Tokyo on July 29th.

The original work is a novel of the same name by Sekinsan (KADOKAWA), which has sold over 350,000 copies. The first chapter was posted on the novel website Kakuyomu in January 2023, and as the series continued, it expanded its fan base, especially among young people. It became a hit, with a cumulative page view count of over 22 million. The final chapter, chapter 34, was posted in April of the same year, and was published in book form in August of the same year. It won first place in the 2024 edition of This Horror is Amazing!

The film is directed by the genius director Shiraishi, who has worked on films such as "Noroi" (2005), "Sadako vs. Kayako" (2016), and "Sayuri" (2024), and the original author, Sekin, who is a big fan of the director and has been influenced by him, is also participating as a scriptwriter.

An editor of an occult magazine suddenly goes missing... Until just before his disappearance, he had been researching something, scraping together various pieces of information, including investigative documents from unsolved cases, feature articles about mysterious phenomena, and shelved notes from previous interviews. While searching for him, fellow editor Ozawa and writer Chihiro discover that all of these events took place in "a certain place in the Kinki region." This is a new type of "location mystery" that explores why incidents occur in certain places.
