(Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Hironari Nishimura), will start distributing the new theme "Modern Spiriting Away ~Disappearance or Kidnapping~" (15 episodes in total) of the original variety project "Mr. Urban Legend Akio Seki's Back Urban Legend" currently being distributed, from 19:00 on Friday, April 3, 2026. This program is a talk variety show where Mr. Urban Legend Akio Seki introduces the background of various urban legends that cannot be talked about on TV or YouTube. Popular YouTubers with over 1 million subscribers and professionals in various fields are invited as guests who are familiar with the theme each time, and they talk exhaustively about the latest deep urban legends that can only be heard on "Tatedora". The total number of views of related videos within the app has exceeded 3 million, and a book was released on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, showing deep-rooted popularity since the start of distribution. The theme this time is "Modern Spiriting Away ~Disappearance or Kidnapping~". The talk will be developed by inviting Chihuahua Sasaki, who is familiar with the circumstances of young people spending time around Kabukicho, and Toshihiko Matsumaru, who is active as an overseas safety advisor and crime prevention consultant. The experts sharply cut into the "forefront of invisible threats and crime prevention," such as why young people are currently involved in human trafficking overseas and crimes by fraud groups, the "short-term kidnapping" that is popular as the latest trick, and the spoofing and disappearance that run rampant during disasters.
