Densen Uta (a.k.a. The Suicide Song) is a 2007 Japanese drama/horror film directed by Masato Harada, and starring Ryuhei Matsuda, Haruna Kojima, Atsuko Maeda, Sayaka Akimoto, and Yûko Ôshima.
The film focuses on an urban legend about a song that supposedly causes fatal effects on its listeners, to the point of even committing suicide.
While looking for her friend, Anzu Natsuno, an average student at an all-girls high school, is attracted by a mysterious singing coming from the auditorium. As she approaches, she finds out that the person singing is her classmate Kana. When Anzu start getting closer, Kana commits suicide right before her eyes. Some time later, Anzu is approached by a magazine columnist named Riku Nagasei, who is doing some research about the Infectious Song urban legend. In order to verify the urban legend, Riku convinces Anzu and some of her friends to sing the song, which they reluctantly agree. Soon after, one by one, the girls begin to kill themselves. Feeling guilty, Riku takes it upon himself to protect the remaining girls and make sure they all prevent each other from committing suicide no matter what. But the song is still spreading, reaching even Riku's own coworkers who discover some new information about its origin. Just when it seems like the end is near for all of them, Anzu remembers something from her childhood that seems to lead to the true meaning of the song and the end of the curse.
