Model and actress Kanata Kato made headlines for buying a PS5 specifically to play “SILENT HILL f,” but now 5ch’s Hardware & Industry board (“Geha”) is buzzing about the fact that she’s started streaming Nintendo Switch’s “Rhythm Heaven” series instead. According to the thread, after clearing SILENT HILL f once, she couldn’t find another PS5 title she wanted to play, so she ended up going through a second playthrough. That’s sparked a split in opinion: some say “the PS5 purchase must have been a staged ad,” while others argue “SILENT HILL f is a brutally hard game built around replaying it, so of course she moved on.”

Nice

She only bought the PS5 to play Silent Hill in the first place — she's not exactly some die-hard PlayStation fan.
6AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:22
Guess there was just nothing else on PS5 she actually wanted to play.
8AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:23
She made a whole show of buying the PS5, and now it looks like she's done nothing with it since.
9AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:24
Sony's really taking it on the chin lately.
Though, self-inflicted, honestly.
12AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:25
Buying that PS5 was obviously staged from the start.
13AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:25
Wait, has she already fully cleared SILENT HILL f?
50AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:44
Re: #13
She cleared it once and tried to find something else to play, but there was nothing on PS5 that grabbed her, so she ended up clearing it a second time.
14AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:25
Lmao
So she's just done with Silent Hill now?
15AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:25
Pretty sure a new Silent Hill game just came out… or am I imagining that?
16AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:26
Wait, hang on — don't tell me Sony pulled their funding for this too?

Re: #16
Director Kojima should just cast her in one of his games.
18AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:26
Being pretty really does pay off no matter what you do, huh.
20AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:28
Weirdly high proportion of celebrities who end up playing Rhythm Heaven.
21AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:28
I mean, who could keep playing SILENT HILL f that long unless it was a paid gig for a rough game lol
That game is genuinely bad — honestly impressive she stuck with it as long as she did.
24AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:30
Lmao, another PlayStation fanboy's ("goki," a derogatory 5ch term for Sony fans) delusions crushed yet again.
26AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:30
And still no Shine Post on PS5.
28AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:31
Asking someone who doesn't play many games to grind through something like SILENT HILL f, which basically demands multiple playthroughs, was never realistic.
30AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:32
Honestly, yeah — she should just play Wolverine instead.
33AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:33
Re: #30
Come on, that's a bit harsh…
47AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:43
Re: #30
Making a woman play as that photorealistic, gassy Wolverine ("Hekokirin," a mocking nickname for the game's overly detailed model) seems kind of cruel — the guy's even got arm hair.
31AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:32
That said, the new Rhythm Heaven is plenty bad in its own right lol
Is she cursed to only ever end up playing garbage games or something?
35AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:34
So buying the PS5 really was just an act.
Guess that's what you get from a professional actress.
36AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:35
She can't play Wolverine — if she hit a bug, it'd get clipped and spread everywhere for all the wrong reasons.
39AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:36
Makes sense a young woman would probably already own a Switch anyway.
42AnonymousSep 24, 2026 22:37
It was obvious the whole time she had zero real interest in Silent Hill.
66AnonymousSep 24, 2026 23:00
I honestly don't get the appeal of this woman.
Something always seemed a bit off about her.
91AnonymousSep 24, 2026 23:20
Well, of course it turned out this way lol
112AnonymousSep 24, 2026 23:35
Re: #91
I have absolutely no idea what this image is trying to say.
Don't even know who SpongeBob is.
100AnonymousSep 24, 2026 23:28
Whatever happened to Tsubasa Honda, anyway?!
101AnonymousSep 24, 2026 23:29
Re: #100
Honda also got outed as a secret Nintendo fan, remember.
111AnonymousSep 24, 2026 23:34
She kept slipping in little complaints about the PS5 controller too, didn't she.
There's no way a young woman would pick up a PS5 on her own — and even if she was told to do it, it makes sense the complaints would slip out naturally.
119AnonymousSep 24, 2026 23:41
Re: #111
Pretty sure she said something like "how was I supposed to know the touch part was actually a button."
Background and Key Points of the Debate
Kanata Kato is a model and actress who bought a PS5 specifically to play “SILENT HILL f.” According to the thread, after clearing the game once, she couldn’t find another PS5 title she wanted to play, so she ended up going through it a second time. She then started streaming Nintendo’s rhythm-game series “Rhythm Heaven,” and the switch to a Switch title became the talk of the thread. Opinions split over whether the PS5 purchase itself was a staged promotional stunt, or whether the difficult, replay-heavy game simply wasn’t suited to a casual player. Some posts use the term “goki” — derogatory 5ch slang for PlayStation fans — but that’s standard board-culture trash talk rather than commentary on her looks or character. SILENT HILL f is known even among recent horror titles for its heavy emphasis on multiple playthroughs, so the argument that it’s simply too demanding for a light gamer carries some weight.
