Perfect Blue

Tokyo dusk. A torn poster. Pop star Mima Kirigoe quits singing to pursue acting, inciting a fan's lurid fixation. Reality fractures as Mima's double appears: a phantasm driving her toward madness and murder. Sato’s direct-to-video thriller is a minor variation on Kon's far greater animated work.
