In this work, produced to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the opening of TV Asahi, Riku Kariyama (Kimura), who is passionate about building bridges, faces the unexpected hardship of being imprisoned in prison, but never gives up and strives for hope and rebirth. I’m looking for a way. Weaving an epic story that intertwines unpredictable suspense with thrilling and heart-wrenching human drama.

The story is full of shocks from the beginning of the first episode… Kariyama’s life, which has been engaged in the construction of Tokyo’s major project, “Ryujin Ohashi”, is quickly engulfed in a turbulent whirlpool. Despite Kariyama’s careful design of the bridge, an accident involving a large number of people occurred at the construction site. Moreover, mysterious “somethings” begin to appear one after another in various places, and the situation begins to take an even more unexpected turn.

This should never have happened…and Kariyama finds himself in a predicament after suffering a major accident that should never have happened according to his design. However, the ordeal does not end there; in the first episode, Kariyama is presented with divorce papers by his wife, Reiko (Amami), with whom he has grown estranged and distant. Moreover, at the same time, Reiko tells her something that makes her doubt her ears.

Kariyama has been immersed in building bridges and has been enjoying life with a lively expression on his face. What kind of confession did he make, and Reiko’s expression suddenly stiffened, making her more upset than ever before? Pay attention to the turning point between the couple that will have a huge impact on Kariyama’s future actions.

This work depicts a detailed human drama on a grand scale, and the highlights are not only the soulful performances of Kimura and the rest of the cast, but also the meticulously focused visuals. The scene at the construction site of the Ryujin Ohashi Bridge, where it all started, features an impressive video production. It’s a heartwarming scene where you can really feel the magnitude of the shock that the main character, Kariyama, received.
