Kenichi Amamiya did not notice Kazahana Koyuki's complicated feelings. After all, to him, she was merely one of his many subordinates. Although he already knew about her personality and thoughts, he did not have many thoughts of his own. He thought Kazahana Koyuki was quite pretty, but she truly was not suitable for him—or at least, that was how Kenichi Amamiya saw it. With that in mind, he naturally went about his own business. He continued writing the film script he was preparing for Kazahana Koyuki, further developing his depiction of Ju-On. In fact, after Kayako killed Kobayashi and caused her husband, Takeo Saeki, to breathe his last, Kayako's house was sold by a real estate agent to another family—the Murakami Family. Kenichi Amamiya felt these unlucky fools should not have been called the Murakami Family at all. They should have been called the Unlucky Family. They knew this was a haunted house where an entire family had once been murdered, yet they still dared to move in. But considering that this haunted place was set in Tokyo Metropolis, he was not surprised. Calling Tokyo a place where every inch of land was worth a fortune would not be wrong at all; it was perfectly fitting. Housing prices in Tokyo were outrageously high. As long as the price was low enough, even a haunted house would probably have countless people willing to give it a try. Moreover, after the Saeki Family died, there had not yet been many victims here, and its notoriety had not spread. Kenichi Amamiya figured that was probably why others had been so interested in the place. The unfortunate Murakami Family happily bought the cheap house and became victims of Ju-On.
The confirmed victims of the Murakami Family were the mother, Kanna, and the son, Tsuyoshi.
