Message from Michael T. Yamaguchi
"Nagasaki is a world-renowned sacred place where foreign cultures took root, and it raised this uniquely creative person that I am. I'm truly happy to be able to send a new type of haunted house themed around Japanese culture — not just fear — out into the world from Nagasaki Stadium City, a place built on the hope of regional revitalization, contribution to the future, and a sense of unity. I hope this unforgettable, vivid experience becomes a source of imagination and creativity for everyone."
During the event, Michael T. Yamaguchi is scheduled to make in-person appearances along with photo greetings and other related events. Check the official Nagasaki Stadium City website for the latest updates: https://www.nagasakistadiumcity.com/event/49911/
The story
"Horror Idol Akushukai: New Member Debut Event"
A strangely suspicious invitation arrives...
Because that place is supposed to be a sealed-off construction site...
Who is this mysterious new member, "Girocchi"...?
"Please fan me..."
...and so the nightmarish fandom begins.

Attraction details
Nagasaki Stadium City Haunted House "Oshigurui"
Produced by Michael T. Yamaguchi
- A walk-through horror attraction
This haunted house is a spin-off story of the horror idol group Akushukai. The Akushukai members themselves do not appear in person (they appear on video only), but the original character "Girocchi," created for "Oshigurui," does appear in person — as does "Mr. Haga," Akushukai's dedicated guard.
Mr. Haga
Friend or foe? A "guardian from hell" dedicated to Akushukai, endlessly cloned and mass-produced with the sole mission of protecting the horror idol group.
Mr. Haga, Akushukai's dedicated guard
Two fear levels to choose from
- Normal Yami-kawaii Mode — reassuring even for children and those easily scared
- Fanatic Nightmare Mode — for those seeking more of a thrill

About horror idol group Akushukai
Horror idol group Akushukai's current members
Akushukai is a horror entertainment IP that fuses horror, Japanese culture, and attraction experiences, with Michael T. Yamaguchi even handling the group's music production. Its "cute yet scary" members — Purikira, Jakkuru, Orantan, and Kyandeddi — are more than horror characters: they carry cuteness, madness, longing, and a desire for transformation as they send out messages about overcoming hardship and fear on the way to becoming who they want to be.
The group's debut single was released worldwide, and has expanded into music videos, dance, live shows, greeting events, a fan club, and now this attraction. Rather than simply running from fear, fans step into fear to meet the idols they support — a distinct "oshi-katsu horror" concept that turns horror from something meant only to scare people into a world of longing, being cheered on, and growth.
