It has been revealed that the title of the latest installment of the "Occupy Series" (Nippon TV), in which Sakurai Sho plays the hot-blooded detective Musashi Saburo, is "Broadcasting Station Occupy" (Saturdays at 10pm, starting in July). Sakurai commented, "It's a place that's very familiar to me, so I was surprised to see it this way! It's a place that many people have never been to, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how it will be received. Please look forward to "Broadcasting Station Occupy"!"
"Big Hospital Occupation" is set in a huge hospital that has been occupied by a mysterious armed group hiding their faces behind masks, and the story follows Musashi, played by Sakurai, as he throws himself into rescuing the hostages and solving the case. As the story progresses, the perpetrators remove their masks, and the elements of speculation such as the mystery and conspiracy behind the incident captivated viewers, leading to a sequel, "New Airport Occupation," set in a newly completed airport, being broadcast in 2024. Also, "Undercover Brothers and Sisters: Special Fraud Special Investigator," which is set in the same world and with the same staff, and co-stars Ryusei Ryo and Yagi Rikako, was also broadcast in the same year.
The story of "Broadcasting Station Occupation" is set one year after "New Airport Occupation." Musashi, a detective in the Kanagawa Prefectural Police First Investigative Division's Violent Crimes Unit, is transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Affairs Division BCCT, but he gets caught up in another occupancy case and begins an investigation with new colleagues.
Official X ran a campaign to guess the location of the occupation, which had been kept secret at the time of the information release. As Sakurai's character Musashi Saburo is seconded to the Metropolitan Police Department, many answers were submitted, including "Metropolitan Police Department," "Police Station," "Amusement Park," and "Prison."
In the "Large Hospital Occupation" an armed group wearing demon masks stood in front of Musashi, and in the "New Airport Occupation" an armed group wearing zodiac masks stood in front of Musashi. It will likely be interesting to see what kind of mask the armed group will be wearing this time.
