Humax Entertainment, led by CEO Michio Akimoto, has officially announced an exciting screening event for the intriguing project "Strangely Peculiar Stories," set to take place at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas. This captivating event includes not only a screening of the film but also a thought-provoking talk show featuring a range of guests from diverse backgrounds.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 21. There will be two screening times available: the first session starts at 1:00 PM (with doors opening at 12:30 PM), and the second session at 5:00 PM (featuring an opening at 4:30 PM). Each screening is expected to conclude around 3:30 PM and 7:30 PM respectively. With tickets priced at 3,500 yen, attendees will also receive an exclusive non-sale sticker as a gift.
"Strangely Peculiar Stories" is designed to immerse viewers in the subtle discomforts of everyday life, exploring inexplicable emotions through a unique and modern lens. This anthology drama employs the well-known "strange story" format, creating a fresh narrative that mirrors contemporary values, human relationships, and the nuances of decision-making. By abandoning clear answers and interpretations, the stories aim to leave lingering feelings of unease and contemplation long after the credits roll.
The screening offers a chance for audiences to not just watch the stories but to become a part of them in the unusual setting of a cinema. The aim is to enhance the viewing experience and eventually transition these stories into the realm of YouTube, showcasing different facets of the same work.
As for the lineup of guests expected to attend the event, prominent personalities such as Takku, Yoshida Masashi, Hayase Yasuhiro (Urban Boys), and others will be participating in both sessions. Notable guests include Gandhi Yokosuka, Fumikimo, Yumurana Naofumi, Shunsuke Sakurada, and many more. This eclectic mix of guests will undoubtedly add to the engaging atmosphere of the event, stimulating discussions about the themes and narratives presented.
Tickets for this much-anticipated event are set to go on sale online on January 23 at 9 PM via the Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas online ticketing platform. Additionally, tickets will also be available for purchase at the cinema's ticket counter starting January 24, when the theater officially opens its doors.
