Premonition (予言, Yogen) is a 2004 Japanese horror film directed by Tsuruta Norio. Yogen is based on the manga Kyoufu Shinbun ("Newspaper of Terror") by Jiro Tsunoda, serialized in Shōnen Champion in 1973. The film is about a man who discovers a newspaper that predicts the future. It features an obituary relevant to the death of his young daughter, and in fact the girl dies shortly later. Years after this event he finds more papers with other deaths of family members.

The film was released as a double feature with Infection as part of Takashige Ichise's J-Horror Theater. The film received mixed reviews from The Japan Times and Video Watchdog.

High school teacher Hideki Satomi (Hiroshi Mikami), his wife, Ayaka (Noriko Sakai) who works as a psychology teacher, and their five-year-old daughter, Nana (Hana Inoue) are driving home to Tokyo after a vacation. While on a country road, Hideki stops to upload a file on a phonebooth. Inside, he sees a newspaper scrap showing his daughter being involved in a car crash, dated just a minute later at 8:00 PM. As Ayaka steps outside to get Hideki's help on Nana's jammed seatbelt, a truck smashes through their car, killing Nana. A distraught Hideki tries to find the newspaper scrap when the media comes while Ayaka tearfully tries to stop him.
