Onsen Tamago ~Yukemuri Kidan~ (Hot Spring Egg ~Strange Tales of Steam~) also known as Midnight Comedy Theater, was a direct-to-DVD live action and 3DCG collaboration anthology of short films that Ryuji Masuda worked on. Ryuji Masuda directed and wrote the episode "Yoshiko's Sixth Sense", and wrote for the episode "Hot Spring Komachi Doki".
The anthology contained three "episodes", each directed by a different director, and written by another writer. Two were live-action and one was CG. The anthology starred popular voice-actors, including Atsuko Enomoto and Sakura Nogawa. Atsushi Ishino, who acts in the film, would go on to voice Crescent from Funny Pets two years after the movie's release.
The film was released as a standard DVD but also as a limited edition that came with stand toys, a phone strap, a Kohei keychain and a CD drama.
