Director: Hirotoshi Doi Daisuke Yamamuro Ryosuke Fukuda
Rika Inaba (Yui Aragaki), who works at Teito TV, was once regarded as a promising newcomer, but her overly forceful work style caused numerous clashes during interviews, and she was sidelined into directing non-prime-time programs. Ordered to produce a uniform feature, she visits the Public Relations Office of the Self-Defense Forces’ Staff Headquarters for an interview and meets Daisuke Sorai (Go Ayano), a former fighter pilot who was injured in a drunk-driving accident and had to transfer to the PR department. Inaba believes she can dig up an explosive scoop on Sorai that could be her chance to return to frontline television work, but her hard-nosed attitude immediately rubs Sorai the wrong way. The PR department also includes a group of eccentric characters: trend-chasing office chief Seiji Sagisaka (Kyohei Shibata), the beautiful Noriko Yuzuki (Miki Mizuno), Sagisaka’s No. 1 fan Hiroki Maki (Tsutomu Takahashi), his No. 2 fan Katayama (Jun Kaname), and Sorai’s instructor Higa. Surrounded by these people, can Inaba and Sorai use this interview to break out of their predicament and challenge their dreams once more?
