Description
A mysterious celestial event sets the stage for three magical adventures in this 1986 Japanese television drama special. The story begins when a physics teacher named Horaguchi-sensei notices a rare astronomical anomaly. On March 3rd, the date of the traditional Hinamatsuri festival, Halley's Comet is scheduled to make its closest approach to the inner solar system. The convergence of this cosmic visitor with the festive day creates a unique window of supernatural potential.
Horaguchi-sensei explains to his class that anyone can harness this anomaly using a simple camera. By speaking a specific set of keywords while pressing the shutter button, a person can unlock a mysterious event. The teacher imparts this secret to his three female students, played by popular 1980s idols Nakayama Miho, Oginome Yoko, and Koizumi Kyoko. The narrative unfolds as an omnibus, following each of the three heroines separately as they experiment with the enchanted camera. Each girl triggers her own distinct and puzzling occurrence, leading them into individual encounters with the inexplicable. The special weaves together these three fantastical tales, all rooted in the same peculiar alignment of science, tradition, and magic.
