3yen is all about metapublishing goodness, or as Yves puts it, Plexuspublishing(tm). Anyway a medium mainly talking about or from the medium. It’s not a surprise then to have such a nice piece of meta-movie here. A movie showing people watching another movie, not to be confused with meta-film, a movie showing people making movies. Don’t worry i just make this up as i write.
Recently, it has been a trend in the japanese movie industry to promote horror movies by showing people watching said horror movies. Last year when Chakushin ari was released, you could see on tv, teenage girls in movie theaters ripping their own vocal cords by screaming in terror in front of the last Miike’s horror flick.

This video is similar. It shows the Morning Musume, a pre-teen band of cute girls, watching a sequence from The Ring. They censored it but the one crying actually peed her pants. Well she didn’t but i had to make this a little more interesting.
Enjoy the screams of terror of teenage talent from Japan, please.
