The Exciting Book Release of 'Mr. Urban Legend'

In an eagerly awaited announcement, DONUTS, the innovative company behind the vertical short drama app 'Tatedora,' has teamed up with Takeshobo to bring one of its most successful variety shows, Mr. Urban Legend - Akio Seki's Hidden Urban Legends, to book format. The official release date is set for February 10, 2026, promising a fascinating exploration into the eerie and astonishing world of urban legends.

Mr. Urban Legend, hosted by the charismatic Akio Seki, delves deeper into urban legends that are rarely discussed on television or social media. Each episode features a special guest who is an expert in the specific theme, unraveling the latest, most profound urban legends that can only be found on the Tatedora platform. Since its launch, the show has garnered a loyal fanbase, with its related videos on the app accumulating over 3 million views.

The upcoming book will include a unique reconfiguration of selected scenes from the show, designed to enhance readers’ understanding of three specific themes: The Darkness of the Entertainment Industry, The Terrifying World of Real Estate Fraud, and The Shadows of Spy Activities in Japan. Each chapter promises to not only captivate readers with gripping tales but also intrigues them with special interviews that won’t appear in the show. This dual approach of experiencing the legends both through the written word and vibrant video format promises an immersive dive into the enigmatic realm of urban myths.

Here is what Akio Seki has to say about the upcoming book:
"This book illuminates the hidden realities that often go unnoticed—spying activities lurking within the nation, the obscure structures of the entertainment industry, and the stark truths surrounding real estate issues. Once you uncover these layers, the world you thought you knew may just unravel before your eyes. Whether you choose to read this book or not, it will alter your perception of reality. I invite you to challenge yourself and see what truths lie beneath the surface!"
