Its shocking content and innovative format became a hot topic, leading to a flood of inquiries about the program. It spread through the internet and word-of-mouth, gaining cult popularity, and has resulted in the production of 7 TV versions and 3 theatrical versions. The theme of the latest installment is polygamy. The VTR follows Koji Hagiwara, a web designer, and his four wives: Yuko Nakase, a company executive who financially supports their life, Marina Inui, a former model, and Kaede Uchino, a nurse. The story reveals who murdered the husband.[Story]"Footage produced as a documentary program to be broadcast on a certain TV station.Although the broadcast date was set and filming was completed, it was never aired for certain reasons."A certain documentary footage──A dimly lit place.
