Their friendship seems picturesque at first glance, but Yoshiki has noticed a shift in Hikaru's demeanour ever since one fateful summer.
The 'Hikaru' that sits beside him now is nothing like his friend. Despite his physical appearance and memories remaining exactly the same, Yoshiki knows something is amiss and that the Hikaru he once knew is gone. When he brings this up, Hikaru partially transforms into an otherworldly being, threatening to kill Yoshiki if he cannot accept it—while also professing its love for him.
While this is going on, strange occurrences begin to plague their village, bringing unsettling chaos…

Cheryl Tweedy's heartbreaking 'message' to Bear, 7, after Liam Payne's death
EXCLUSIVE: Cheryl has been left 'heartbroken' over the fact that Liam Payne's final TV project, Netflix talent show Building The Band, is now available for the world to see Emotions were running high last week when the first four episodes of Liam Payne's final TV project, the Netflix talent show Building The Band, were released. And no one was finding it harder than Liam's former partner, Cheryl Tweedy, the mother of their eight-year-old son, Bear. According to those close to her, the former Girls Aloud star found it 'heartbreaking', as the programme highlighted the sheer magnitude of her and Bear's loss. 'It is very sad for Cheryl,' a source told the Mirror. 'She's very proud that Liam's final project is now available for the world to see, but obviously it's heartbreaking, too, after Liam's death. It's a poignant reminder to Cheryl – and to his fans – of how much more Liam could have done with his life. But that potential was tragically cut short.' Cheryl, 42, who was in a relationship with Liam from 2016 to 2018, is said to be focusing on how this will affect Bear, and how much Liam is missed as a father. 'He had so much going for him, as well as being a devoted father to Bear,' our source claimed. 'It's another reason why Cheryl wanted to continue with her own TV career – to show Bear that there is life after losing Liam, that you can be strong and that he can pick himself up. He can be anything he wants to be in life.' Last week, Building The Band's host, AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys, paid tribute to the One Direction star, who died last October at the age of just 31. At the start of the first episode, AJ, 47, said of his late friend and co-sta r, 'When we came together to film Building The Band, we never imagined we'd soon be saying goodbye to our friend, Liam Payne. 'Liam is a guest judge in later episodes and, through his presence, we see his deep love for music and his unwavering commitment to helping others find their voice. It's through that spirit that we dedicate this series to Liam and his family.' One devastated fan who watched the show posted, 'It's so good to see him happy and in his element, but it's sad knowing this is his last project. I can't watch this without bawling my eyes out.' Other fans were equally triggered by the sight of Liam, who looked healthy and happy on their screens. 'Emotional and angry he can't be here,' wrote one follower, while another added, 'My heart stopped for a moment when I heard his voice and then saw him.' Liam finished filming the show, in which he appears alongside Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland as a guest judge, just two months before he tragically died after falling from his hotel suite in Argentina. While he doesn't appear in the first four episodes, the singer is prominent in the show's trailer and will feature later in the series, after his devastated family gave Netflix their blessing. Prior to Building The Band's release, Liam's sister, Ruth, said that she was 'heartbroken' her brother won't get to see how his final TV project turned out. 'He knew he had done a good job, we all told him this when we were at filming, but watching it back–woah!' she said on her Instagram Stories. 'There are a range of emotions I felt watching this, but one of the main ones is immeasurable pride, always. Miss you more every day.' In a touching full-circle moment, Liam appears alongside former Pussycat Dolls star Nicole, who helped put One Direction together during her stint as an X Factor judge back in 2010. At the time of his death, Liam had already recorded a substantial amount of footage and the streaming giant confirmed that he would remain central to its narrative, having been given the go-ahead by his family. Showrunner Cat Lawson described him as a 'glorious person', adding, 'The show is dedicated to Liam. We all loved him and he was amazing in the show.' Simon Hay, the shooting producer- director, remembered Liam as 'chatty and approachable', adding that he always remembered people's names. Poignantly, Liam seems in good spirits on screen as he helps aspiring artists on their path to success. But for many fans, seeing their idol was a bittersweet experience. 'Oh, how it hurts seeing him, but I couldn't be prouder of this wonderful human being,' one wrote, while another said, 'They honoured Liam in a way that truly reflected who he was.' Liam's appearance is a far cry from the disturbing picture that was painted following his untimely death in Buenos Aires. Last November, toxicology tests revealed traces of alcohol, cocaine and a prescription antidepressant in his body, while a post-mortem determined his cause of death as 'multiple trauma' and 'internal and external haemorrhage' as a result of his fatal fall. Following the shock news of Liam's passing, Cheryl described the loss as 'earth-shattering', adding, 'Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our seven-year-old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.' Building The Band is available to watch now on Netflix.

All 6 episodes of 'compelling' mystery thriller are streaming now on Netflix
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Another week, another thriller for fans to dig their teeth into, this time over on Netflix. The French mystery series, Under A Dark Sun, has already entered the top 10 TV shows on the streamer, promising a 'heartfelt' and 'suspenseful' experience for viewers who tune into this six-episode drama. The show follows runaway single mother Alba Mazier (Ava Baya) whose boss, Arnaud Lasserre (Thibault De Montalembert), is killed 'just hours into starting her new job'. Now the main suspect, she becomes intertwined in a conspiracy full of 'deep-rooted secrets and morally grey decisions'. '[When] her name mysteriously appears in his will, how far will she go to force the truth from his family?' the synopsis of the fast-paced miniseries concludes. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. As teased by Time: 'What begins as a murder case quickly spirals into something much more complex: a dark family history full of hidden paternity, forced silence, and decades of manipulation.' The series also stars two-time Oscar nominee Isabelle Adjani as the ill-fated Arnaud's wife, Beatrice. The feel of the show has been compared to the likes of Harlan Coben's mystery thrillers, which have stirred up a storm on the streaming platform with huge viewership for adaptations like Fool Me Once and Missing You. 'There's a lot to like about Under A Dark Sun, like Baya's intensity as Alba and Adjani's insouciant performance as Beatrice, who seems so unfazed by Arnaud's death that she wears a pink suit to his funeral and reads a eulogy she created with ChatGPT. The Devil's Leap on Channel 4: When a former special forces father takes his daughter on a hike, their bonding opportunity soon takes a turn for the worse when they witness a murder – and are soon being pursued by a gang. La Fortuna on ITVX: Stanley Tucci stars in this Spanish-American adventure drama based on an incredible true story about a diplomat 'leading a team of treasure hunters'. The Glass Dome on Netflix: This Swedish drama follows a criminologist who returns to her small hometown and 'becomes wrapped up in the investigation of a missing girl and its haunting similarities to her own childhood abduction'. 'That back and forth between these two very opposite characters should drive the tension in this series,' Decider wrote in a review. The Review Geek pointed out the show's sometimes clunky plotting but added: 'Under a Dark Sun is an easy binge with strong performances, a compelling lead, and just enough intrigue to carry you through.' Over on IMDb, user zeksozen called it a 'tense and intriguing' and said it was 'a hidden gem for those who enjoy European crime dramas with a moody, cinematic style'. Proceed with caution, however, as not all the reviews have been glowing, with some calling it a 'weird' storyline filled with sometimes 'unnecessary twists'. More Trending You'll have to tune in to decide whether it's down your alley. There's a growing market for European thrillers in the UK, with plenty of options if you find yourself hooked after this one. Just last week, Channel 4 added a French survival thriller, The Devil's Leap, which followed a father-daughter duo on a hiking trip gone wrong.
