It stars Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya as friends who are stranded in a deserted Tokyo and are forced to engage in perilous card games to extend “visas,” which, if they expire, result in the players’ execution by laser fire from above.
Season one of the show was announced in July 2019 and shot from August to December of the same year. Shot in several Shibuya neighborhoods and a green screen studio recreation of Shibuya Crossing. The show’s visual effects were created by a global team consisting of artists from Singapore, the United States, and India, with the help of Digital Frontier in Japan. The music was written by Yutaka Yamada, who worked with Sato.
