Former Nogizaka46 Star Rina Ikoma Reveals Paranormal Experiences and Deja Vu on ABEMA’s 'Naokiman’s Urban Legend Wide Show SEASON 3'

On May 26, 2026, the streaming service ABEMA broadcasted the latest installment of its hit series, 'Naokiman’s Urban Legend Wide Show SEASON 3.' Hosted by Naokiman, a prominent YouTuber with over 3.9 million subscribers, the show serves as an entertainment platform where celebrities and experts discuss urban legends, unexplained rumors, and paranormal occurrences with a focus on curiosity and wonder.

The fourth episode featured a new segment titled the 'Naokiman Wide Show Investigation Room,' which focused on the theme of 'Time Leaps.' The investigation analyzed the phenomenon from various perspectives, including occultism, folklore, and science. The studio welcomed several guests, including actor and former Nogizaka46 member Rina Ikoma and comedian Kensuke Fujita of Total Tenbosch, who shared their personal mysterious experiences.

During the broadcast, Rina Ikoma described a striking instance of deja vu. She recounted seeing a vivid mental image of dining with a man she had never met, only to realize later that the scene perfectly matched a meal she shared with a co-star during rehearsals for a stage play. Additionally, Ikoma shared a chilling account of visiting the home of Yasuhiro Hayase, a known collector of cursed objects. She reported that while driving home, her car’s pedestrian sensors repeatedly triggered despite being stopped at a red light on an empty road, leading her to believe she was being followed by a spiritual entity.

Other guests contributed to the discussion with their own baffling stories. Comedian Saaya described an incident where an ashtray vanished and reappeared in her kitchen, while Kensuke Fujita shared a 'warp' experience where he found himself driving in Saitama Prefecture despite being on a direct route toward Shizuoka. Experts, including Takeharu Mikami, editor-in-chief of Mu Magazine, provided hypotheses for these events, ranging from out-of-body experiences to altered states of consciousness.

ABEMA, which reached its 10th anniversary in April 2026, continues to innovate in the digital broadcasting space. The platform offers a diverse range of approximately 25 channels, including news, original dramas, and sports. Through high-profile collaborations with digital-native creators like Naokiman, ABEMA aims to strengthen its brand identity and provide unique content that resonates with modern audiences.
