What if it's possible to extract two or more years of a person's memories and project them onto a visual display for everyone to see after the person's death? This could certainly be beneficial for solving difficult murder cases, as the memories would reveal the victims' final moments. But at what cost? What about the privacy of the deceased as strangers delve into their most private memories? And what about the effects these images might have on those whose jobs require them to go through the minds of psychotic murderers and experience the emotions and feelings these killers felt as they committed their heinous acts? In "The Top Secret," Shimizu-sensei explores the idea of re-displaying images of decedents' memories from their brains. Top Secret won the Excellence Award at the 15th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2011. The series was adapted into a Japanese live-action movie that was released on August 6, 2016.
