During the night of a festival, two girls: Miki and Asako, enjoy themselves at the stands, playing games and eating candy. Miki says that she wishes they could stay forever, though Asako says that's a little bit exaggerating. Asako then comes across a mask stand, and calls out to Miki to have a look, but Miki disappears and wonders where she went. One of the masks, a white geisha mask sitting amongst the oni masks suddenly darkens and says in a deep voice, "That side." Asako wonders if she was imagining it, but puts it aside as she has to find Miki. As she looks around, she sees that the people are all gone and the lights are dimming and turning green, all the while a deep, booming voice says in the distance, "Go to that side". Fog starts to roll and laughing ghosts come parading in with the sounds of bells and a monstrous float resembling the white mask with lanterns hanging from it and saying with a huge second mouth, "Go to that side." Terrified, Asako flees and runs into the goldfish game stand where she asks the man attending the stand if he's seen Miki. To her horror, the man now resembles a goldfish. She runs to the man at the cotton candy stand only to find him wrapping his entrails around a cotton candy stick. As she flees, Asako runs past distorted versions of the people and calls out to Miki. Suddenly, she hears and runs into her friend. Miki takes her hand and they run, but Asako asks where are they running to. Miki suddenly stops and her face turns into the white mask and says in a deep voice, "That side." Asako screams in horror as the sounds of laughter and the distant "Go to that side" echo throughout the dimly lit festival...
