Sayaka Yamamoto: "AKB Horror Night" drama episode 3 recap and screenshots


 Also plan on doing the recap for the fourth episode later on today or by the latest tomorrow. Unsure right now about the status of future episodes being subbed, up to episode seven have been done but none since that show, episode 13 just aired. Sure they'll eventually be done but don't have any kind of schedule when that will be.



 This episode was titled "Neighbor's Parcel" and as you can tell by the title it starred Sayaka. Can't say any of the shows I've watched have been scary in the least but all have been okay, some of the ones that haven't been subbed look like they may be the best episodes.
 This wasn't a bad episode but it's been the worst of the ones I've seen, Sayaka's looks unfortunately don't carry over to her acting. Sayaka's character had no name in this episode so we'll just refer to her by her real name.
 Sayaka receives a knock at her small apartment door one day from a mysterious delivery man, her neighbor isn't at home so can she hold on to a package and give it to them when they return. Sayaka agrees to do that but no one is ever there when she tries to give the parcel to her neighbor and this goes on for days. Meanwhile Sayaka keeps hearing creepy noises and doesn't know where they're coming from, she finally deduces that the sounds are coming from the parcel.
 Sayaka is tempted to open the box but holds back for a while as it's her neighbor's box, she's also figured out that there's something 'living' in the parcel. She still can't bring herself to open it so Sayaka eventually decides just to get rid of it, she leaves it in a secluded area where she thinks doing that will put an end to all the creepiness around her.




 That plan didn't work as upon returning to her apartment Sayaka has discovered the box has suddenly appeared there again! She finally decides that opening the box may be the only way to get rid of the thing, big mistake on her part for thinking that way. Upon opening the box there was something living in there, we don't learn exactly who it is but think it turned out to be her neighbor.
 The next day the delivery man appears again at a different apartment with the same excuse that the neighbor isn't at home and could they give it to them when they come home. That person agrees but will be going through the same eeriness that Sayaka did as there's something living in the box. However this time the living creature in the box appears to be Sayaka(!) as the episode ends.
 Worst of the bunch I've viewed so far though it wasn't a bad watch, when a show is only 10+ minutes long there's probably going to be a few hit and misses. Sayaka is honestly not that good of an actress either, she was only so-so on "Majisuka", no better in this episode but it's still worth a watch as giving up a little over ten minutes of your life isn't all that much.
 Few more screenshots from this episode plus after them is a short promo video for it.
