I am still thinking about fates of poor Yoshimura twins.

Imagine being newborn twins that survived a landslide that killed your parents and that also was a result of a failed ritual to summon an alien god

Imagine being separated by being adopted in two different important families who carry out different duties in said ritual

One is adopted by a priest of local religion, a child whose life was dictated all his life and who found his own adoptive father hanging on rope in their church

Other is adopted by a family of local doctors who manage darkness of the village, a child whose mother was a psychologically unstable and abusive, a child who was forced to study and commit unethical things form early age

Them both figuring out they’re twins, only to be cruelly separated by their family and positions to the point one of them develops fear towards other and other becomes jealous of other’s position in their small community

Imagine it’s being so bad jealous one kills and takes other’s identity

Their lives is a one big fuck up that they couldn’t even control

Imagine they could’ve been happy and had healthy brotherly bond

I think about it every day and fucking die inside

Archives/1976 Failure

Notes/Mentions of events leading to or about the failed ritual, in August 1979 and the aftermath. Note: any mentions of Miyako Kajiro are about Miyako from the past, not present (2003)

A newspaper article that details the landslide that hit Hanuda Village (3 August 1976 morning edition). The village at the time of the landslide, brought about as punishment for the failure of the "holy marriage rite". The article mentions that 33 people are currently missing, but in later reports that there are 31 people missing, two fewer people. This is due to the discovery of the bodies of Toshio and Ikuko Yoshimura on the 4th (the parents of the twins who later became Kei Makino and Shiro Miyata).

A newspaper article published in July 1976, just before the landslide of 1976. The town hall news article notifies of the area restructuring project to take place in two years, from August 1978, in Ataro and Harayadori. Since Hanuda has always been prone to natural disasters, at this point the town administration was trying to begin disaster prevention efforts. In August, after the restructuring was announced, the village suffered devastating damage in a huge landslide, turning it into what it is now.

A copy of the town hall news published in June 1976. It informs of reparations to be performed on the Hanuda floodgates, scheduled to start that September along the upper portion of the Mana river. From content, "emergency construction has been scheduled in response to flooding due to the overflowing of the Mana river". In actuality that August, the month before repairs were due to be carried out, the portion of the village containing the floodgates was sucked into the "Other World", disappearing from the real world (on the surface it appeared to have vanished when caught in a landslide). It seems as though in the end, rather than being "repaired" the floodgates had to be rebuilt from scratch. At the end of Siren is a scene in which the Mana river floodgates are blown up by Makino (Miyata), destroyed by water from the reservoir - the floodgates shown here are the old (pre-reparations) ones from August 1976.

It is a picture diary by Namiko Yoshikawa, with an entry on 5 July 1976 saying: "I saw a small light flying around Gojaku Peak. Tomorrow, after school, I'm going to go there." After writing this, Namiko vanishes. Namiko probably thinks that the light on Gojaku Peak may hold some clue as to her mother's mysterious disappearance.

A diagnostic chart written at Miyata Clinic in 1976. The patient's name is Takafumi Shimura. Takafumi was the cousin of hunter Akira Shimura, and due to his sharp senses had caught onto Hanuda Village's dark side and the true form of Hisako Yao. As well as showing the thick darkness enshrouding the village, you could also say that it is a document showing the terrible nature of the village doctors the Miyatas, cleaning up dissenters as the enforcers of "shadow". Upon trying to spread this fact to those around him, he was declared insane and admitted to the Miyata Clinic, and this chart tells the events of that time.

Also, before being confined inside the Miyata Clinic, Takafumi imparted his knowledge regarding the village's secrets to Akira's son, Koichi. Strongly affected by this, Koichi later attempts to free the village from its darkness by himself, stealing the indispensable holy vessel and planning to escape with the previous Miyako.

A villager's diary, found left inside the storage hut. An entry dated 2 June 1966 reads, "That woman is a monster. She has been watching over this village for a long, long time. Never changing, never aging." This shows that the owner of the diary is someone who has caught on to the danger of Hisako Yao, and has been watching her quite closely. By the content, it appears to be the diary of Takafumi Shimura. Takafumi was not the only one who had been chasing the village's secrets to a certain degree - there was also Omito Takeuchi, writer of the "Takeuchi Monographs". The Takeuchis and Shimuras had quite a close relationship, which may have been born as they examined the village's secrets.

An article about a phenomenon called "light pillars" in Hanuda Village, from the 31 July 1976 evening edition of the Misumi Gazette. The article writes, "Around dawn on the 30th of July, a strange pillar of light was observed in the sky above the Mana river floodgates." According to the explanation in the article, this phenomenon is caused "when a source of bright light refracts off of ice layers in the sky", but this was an omen of Datatsushi's coming before the "holy marriage rites" of 1976 that ultimately ended in failure. According to Takafumi Shimura this was a bad omen, thinking the light pillars being described as a natural phenomenon idiotic.

A yellowed letter found in a sickroom at the Miyata Clinic. From the way it begins with "To Akira", it appears to have been a letter that Takafumi Shimura attempted to send to his cousin Akira. Whilst spending his days confined within iron bars, his sanity gradually began to slip. The phrase repeated persistently throughout the letter - "I'm not crazy". His cousin never receives this letter.

Two clay statues, each engraved with the design of either a sword or a shield. In short, they are "divine weapons" within which dwell the "opposing power that is created when another power is born". After the 1976 ritual ended in failure, it was in the possession of the Previous Miyako, sealed away in the basement of the Miyata Clinic for 27 years.

A photograph of Akira Shimura, Koichi Shimura, Omito Takeuchi and young Tamon Takeuchi. This photo shows the close relationship between the Takeuchi and Shimura families. It was likely that Koichi Shimura learned some of what he knew from Omito Takeuchi, who had a certain degree of knowledge about the Kajiro family's secrets as a local historian.

Scribbles drawn by a patient on the wall of the isolation ward at the Miyata Clinic. Countless eyes drawn across the wall, crushed by some insane persistence. This motif of "crushed eyes" appears to come from fear towards the sudden onset of "visions". Unlike those who intentionally use their ability to sightjack, some people living in Hanuda Village would share visual and auditory hallucinations against their own volition. To them, the sudden vague scenes in their vision and distant sounds in their ears must have been unbearably terrifying. At the same time, the sensation of looking at themselves through someone else's eyes- it would not be strange to think that their mental balance would gradually slip. These kinds of people feared eyes. It may have been Takafumi Shimura, locked up inside the Miyata Clinic, who drew these scribbles on the wall.

A diary that seems to have been written by a maid of the Kajiro family who was assigned to Miyako (dated 27 July 1976). While devotedly serving Miyako, who is to become the "bride of god," she notes her uncertainty, finding it hard to look Miyako in the eyes knowing that she is destined to soon leave the world. This diary appears to have been written by a maid called Sumiko

A suicide note left by Kei Makino's Stepfather, Reiji Makino, the Guiding Priest who oversaw the ritual of 1976 that ended in failure. "…the failure of the ceremony lies heavily upon me. My life is drawing to an end and though I cast aside all earthly pleasures and dedicated my entire existence to the search for eternal truth, I was unable to achieve a single thing. Kei, I must ask you to look after everything from now on." Dated 3 June 1988

A photograph of two newborn infants, dated June 30th, 1976. The foreheads of the babies are marked in ink with the sign of the Mana Cross. This is a custom in Hanuda Village, believed to ward off malevolent spirits. In 1976 the Yoshimuras, Toshio and Ikuko, were living in Yabe Settlement, Harayadori. While evacuating with their twin brothers, Takaaki and Katsuaki, in their car, they became caught up in some kind of bizarre incident and suddenly appeared before Reiji Makino and Ryoko Miyata. From then on, Takaaki and Katsuaki were each taken in and raised by the Makino and Miyata families. Looking at this photo of the brothers, smiling innocently while still the Yoshimuras' children, it is impossible to imagine the contrasting fates of the two who are later to become Makino and Miyata.

Tamon Takeuchi's Childhood Diary, dated August 25th, 1977. "I see Mommy and Daddy when I close my eyes. I can hear them calling me. Grandpa and Grandma say it's only a dream, but that’s not true. I want to go home, I want to see them." seems to have been written by Takeuchi after being taken in by relatives following the loss of his parents in the 1976 landslide. Since at this point Tamon's parents would have been at the bottom of the reservoir, turned into half-Shibito, it wouldn't be totally impossible for them to be calling out to him.

A Letter Addressed to Tamon Takeuchi, by Community Affairs Section, Hanuda Town Hall. It reads, "Dear Mr. Takeuchi: Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find any evidence of such a ceremony being held in Hanuda 27 years ago." Conducting his own investigation into Hanuda Village's mysteries, Tamon appears to have noticed the possibility that there may have been some kind of "secret Manaist ritual" behind the 1976 landslide.

also my favorite location is definitely the Miyata Clinic, it’s so eerie. the resurrected buildings in Hanuda from before the earthquake are fun because it takes the player awhile to get confirmation that they’re not supposed to be there. at first glance you assume the clinic is where Shiro works but it’s not, and it’s just as alien to him as anyone else

the jail cells, the military history and the inexplicable restrained undead (even after helpful commenters have explained who they are- and who they are is very sad!) the secret passage in the courtyard and the odd decay and rust that covers the whole place, the presence of Shibito Mina and Risa. the size of the level and it’s floors and tight hallways. love it love it love it

Shigeru Amachi in Jigoku (Nobuo Nakagawa, 1960)

Cast: Shigeru Amachi, Utako Mitsuya, Yoichi Numata, Hiroshi Hayashi, Jun Otomo, Akiko Yamashita, Kiyoko Tsuji, Fumiko Miyata, Akira Nakamura, Kimie Tokudaiji, Akiko Ono, Hiroshi Izumida. Screenplay: Nobuo Nakagawa, Ichiro Miyagawa. Cinematography: Mamoru Morita. Production design: Shosuke Sasane, Haruyasu Kurosawa. Film editing: Toshio Goto. Music: Michiaki Watanabe.

I know what hell is: listening to elevator music interrupted by assurances that "your call is important to us" while on infinite hold. Which is not the idea that director Nobuo Nakagawa and co-screenwriter Ichiro Miyagawa present. It's pretty much the traditional one of fire and torture. Jigoku is a cult film, as many of the better (or at least more arty) horror films become, and while I'm not a member of the cult I can appreciate the skill with which Nakagawa presents his vision. It's a movie that ranges from deeply somber to extraordinarily lurid. The protagonist, Shiro (Shigeru Amachi), is a student who, after celebrating his engagement to Yukiko (Utako Mitsuya), gets into a car driven by his sardonic friend Tamura (Yoichi Numata). On a dark road, Tamura runs down and kills a gangster, Kyoichi (Hiroshi Izumida), whose mother (Kiyoko Tsuji) witnesses the accident. Shiro wants to stop, but Tamura keeps driving. Since her son was a gangster, she doesn't report the hit-and-run to the police but, along with Kyoichi's girlfriend, Yoko (Akiko Ono), vows to hunt down Tamura and Shiro and kill them. After pleading with Tamura, Shiro decides to go to the police himself, but on the way the taxi driver -- whom Shiro briefly hallucinates as Tamura -- runs into a tree and Yukiko, who has reluctantly accompanied Shiro, is killed. Shiro's road to hell is certainly paved with good intentions, and after his death he winds up there. He has received a telegram that his mother is critically ill, so he goes to see her at the home for the elderly that his father runs in the country. She's not as ill as he feared -- the telegram was actually sent by Kyoichi's mother and girlfriend to lure him into their trap. He discovers that the old folks' home his father owns is actually run on the cheap, with a doctor who skimps on medicine and food. He also encounters Sachiko, a young woman who looks exactly like his fiancée, Yukiko, down to the pink parasol she carries. She turns out to be the sister Shiro didn't know he had, but by this time revelations are coming hard and fast: Tamura -- who appears more and more demonic -- turns up too, as do the potential assassins, and in an elaborate concoction of circumstances, everybody dies, including Shiro. And everybody goes to hell, which is a fantasia crafted out of depictions from old Buddhist paintings and traditional cinematic imaginings of the underworld. Shiro learns there that the taxi accident killed not only Yukiko but also their unborn child, and he spends much of his time trying to rescue the infant from the torments of the afterlife. The film ends, after much exploration of the more gruesome torments of hell, with Shiro's vision of the twinned Yukiko and Sachiko, both with pink parasols, but although it suggests Faust being redeemed by Gretchen, there's nothing to indicate that this is any kind of redemption for Shiro. In short, Jigoku is complicated, contrived, confusing, sometimes a little cheesy and more than a little morally questionable -- does Shiro really deserve to go through all this? -- but also thoroughly fascinating.

I absolutely fell in love with the doctor's redesign for SoS: FoMT because he looks a bit like Shiro Miyata from Forbidden Siren. Probably a weird connection to make, but Shiro has always been one of my favourite fictional characters and the thought of dating "him" - especially if the doctor's name remains ambiguous and he keeps a more serious personality - is a nice fantasy to have.
