Kurosawa followed up "Cure" with a semi-sequel in 1999 with "Charisma", a detective film starring Kōji Yakusho. In 2000, "Seance", Kurosawa's adaptation of the novel "Seance on a Wet Afternoon" by Mark McShane, premiered on Kansai TV. It also starred Yakusho, as well as Jun Fubuki (the two had appeared together in "Charisma" as well). In 2001, he directed the horror film "Pulse". Kurosawa released "Bright Future", starring Tadanobu Asano, Joe Odagiri and Tatsuya Fuji, in 2003. He followed this with another digital feature, "Doppelganger", later the same year. Both "Bright Future and Doppelganger" have nominated for the Cannes Film Festivals
