OASIZ Launches New Spin-off Dramas
OASIZ, a leading brand marketing company based in Tokyo, has announced the release of two new spin-off short dramas titled 'Are You Human?' and 'A Person That Shouldn’t Exist.' These dramas are closely connected with the forthcoming terrestrial drama 'Show Drama Presents: Seikai ga Wakaranai' set to air on September 11, 2026, at midnight on ABC Television. Viewers will be able to watch the short dramas starting from noon on September 7, 2026, through the official accounts of 'Seikai ga Wakaranai' and 'Show Drama.'
In addition to the short dramas, the main theme song for the series has been revealed to be 'Paraffin,' an original piece composed by the talented singer-songwriter Mari. Leading actress Hinata Kawata has expressed her excitement following the conclusion of the filming, sharing her feelings of joy and satisfaction.
Synopsis of the Short Dramas
'Are You Human?'
The storyline kicks off when an unusual service arrives at a school, offering to resurrect individuals using advanced AI technology. Misaki, struggling with the sorrow of her deceased mother, finds herself torn between the macabre fascination with the service and her instinctual discomfort. Will she take the drastic step of engaging with this unsettling technology?
'A Person That Shouldn’t Exist'
In a more chilling narrative, two agents from a government department, the Existence Certification Bureau, visit a household. They confront Michiko, an AI, with harsh words regarding the implications of resurrecting the dead. This drama explores whether such technology can bring happiness or raises deeper ethical questions about life and existence.
Unique Perspective
These two new works reflect additional angles on the theme of “resurrection via AI,” going beyond what is explored in the main drama. With scripts penned by Tomoki Shirakawa, who also wrote for the main series, and directed by Sao Ito, these short dramas capture a rapid and compelling pace. Through the emotional turmoil faced by the characters living in this “uncertain era,” they question how society should confront the omnipresence of AI technology.
To enhance viewer immersion, the spin-off dramas will be made available before the main broadcast, enabling the audience to delve deeper into the fictional universe.
Production Team and Cast
The series features a stellar cast including Hinata Kawata, Tomomi Nakai, Yuri Makoshi, Hiroaki Kawashiro, Aya Nishibori, and Junko Sakurai, along with appearances from OASIZ's talent Umpalumpa, among others. The project is produced by Progress Co., Ltd. and OASIZ, with ABC Television holding the production rights.
Theme Song Information
The theme song 'Paraffin,' composed by Mari, reflects universal themes of loss, regret, and the continual presence of loved ones in our lives, intertwining personal narratives with a broader emotional spectrum. Mari, known for her clear voice and lyrical prowess that captures the complexities of daily life, aims to convey hope and introspection through her music.
