Transliteration: "Tomo ga Mizugi ni Kigaetara" (Japanese: トモが水着に着替えたら)Ichizō Kobayashi Junichiro flashes back to when he first met Tomo. His family moved into town from Tokyo, and he preferred playing video games, when Tomo leaped over the wall to meet her new neighbor and played with his handheld console. However, Tomo ended up breaking it in half. Tomo and her parents then apologized to Junichiro personally. The replacement handheld was later stolen by some bullies. Tomo
beat them up and got the handheld back, but Junichiro let Tomo keep it, claiming he would take it back when he proved he was strong enough to stand up with Tomo. Tomo continues playing said handheld in the present, wondering when Junichiro will come to take it back.

[24] The first plot was a simple splatter/psycho-horror story about an idol girl that is attacked by a perverted fan who cannot tolerate her image change, and there were also many depictions of bleeding, so it was not suitable for Kon who does not like horror or idols. [18][19][24] Kon said that if he were free to make a plan, he would never have thought of such a setting. [24] This genre was overused, having already been dealt with in various works such as Se7en, Basic Instinct and The Silence of the Lambs and was also something that anime was not good at. [16][18][22] Since most of the works in that genre pursue how perverted or crazy the perpetrators, the murderers, are, Kon focused on "how the inner world of the protagonist, the victim, is broken by being targeted by the stalker" in order to outsmart the audience. [22] On the other hand, the play within a play, Double Bind, is more like a parody than a straight psycho-horror, and he made it with the intention of criticizing
Japanese TV dramas that are easily made by imitating Hollywood fads immediately. [22] Kon decided to take on the role of director because he couldn't resist the allure of directing for the first time, and because the original author allowed him to change the story as he liked as long as he kept three things in mind to make the film work: the main character is a B-grade idol, she has a rabid fan (stalker), and it is a horror film. [18][19][24] So he took some elements from the original work, such as the uniquely Japanese existence of idols, the "otaku" fans that surround them, and the stalkers that have become more radical, and came up with as many ideas as possible with the scriptwriter, Sadayuki Murai, with the intention of using them to create a completely new story. [16][18][19] And the film needed a core motif, which had to be found not by the screenwriter or anyone else, but by the director, Kon himself. [16][18][19] So he came up with the motif of two things that should have a "borderline," such as "dream and reality," "memory and fact," and "oneself and others," becoming borderless and blending together, based on the short film Magnetic Rose (from Memories), for which he had written a script, and the suspended manga Opus. [22][23] The concept of "memory and fact" in the plot was inspired by the album Sim City by Susumu Hirasawa. [25] He said, "This album is like a city that was suddenly created with a high degree of modernity without any
evolutionary process.
