Distributor: Toho Language: Japanese Country: Japan **Plot** PULSE tells the story of a group of young friends rocked by the sudden suicide of one of their own, and his subsequent, ghostly reappearance in grainy computer and video images. Is their friend trying to contact them from beyond the grave, or is there something much more sinister afoot? The mysterious floppy disk they find in the dead man's apartment may provide a clue, but instead launches a program that seems to present odd, ethereal transmissions of people engaged in solitary activities in their apartments. But there is something not quite right in the appearance and behaviour of these lonely souls. Soon, there are more strange deaths and disappearances within the group, terrifying rooms sealed in red tape, and the appearance of more ghosts as the city of Tokyo - and the world - is slowly drained of life. **Cast** Haruhiko Kato - Ryosuke Kawashima Kumiko Aso - Michi Kudo Koyuki - Harue Karasawa Kurume Arisaka - Junko Sasano Masatoshi Matsuo - Toshio Yabe Shinji Takeda - Yoshizaki Jun Fubuki - Michi's mother Shun Sugata - Boss Sho Aikawa - Employee Koji Yakusho - Ship Captain Kenji Mizuhashi - Taguchi Takumi Tanji - Man with Bag Hassei Takano - Student A Atsushi Yuki - Student B Go Takashima - Student C Dankan
