Overview

Directed by Keita Amemiya and Akira Ohashi, the film features a cast including Meari Matsuyama, Kasue Saito, and Kanji Tsuda. The story centers on the legend of a fallen Makai Priestess named Higari, who gained immense power by manipulating forbidden forces. To stop her, a Makai Priest named Sougen sacrificed his life and body to create the Tougen Flute, which served as a seal for Higari. In the present day, while the realm's protector Kouga Saezima is away in the promised land, two fallen priests attempt to resurrect Higari. They seek to undo Sougen's seal by performing a special ritual that involves playing the eight notes of the Tougen Flute. The film, which has a runtime of one hour and one minute, explores the conflict surrounding this ancient instrument and the potential release of the dark priestess.
