Experience a unique New Year's Eve in Japan! Tokyo MX will air 'Ring 2' with a Zen monk offering prayers for every on-screen death, aiming to ward off bad luck.
This New Year's Eve, Tokyo MX will broadcast the J-horror classic 'Ring 2'. To counter any potential bad luck from the film's unsettling content, a Zen monk will chant sutras and offer prayers each time a character dies on screen.
Travelers seeking unique cultural experiences can tune in to Tokyo MX or its YouTube channel. The monk, Bon Higanda, will provide a video timed to sync his prayers with the on-screen deaths.
'Ring 2' airs at 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, with Higanda’s video streaming from 5:50 p.m. It's a quirky way to blend Japanese horror with traditional spiritual practices.
