The synopsis for episode 4, "Silence," of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama "Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea" (Sundays at 9 p.m.), starring actor Kamiki Ryunosuke, which will air on November 17th, has been released.
The fourth episode is set in July 1958. Teppei (Kamiki) has been thinking about Asako (Sugisaki Hana) ever since he found out that she had been his first love. Kensho (Shimizu Hiroya) seems to have something on his mind, while Teppei is like that. Meanwhile, Shinpei (Saito Takumi) visits Rina (Ikeda Elaiza) and sees something shocking in her room.
Meanwhile, Yuriko (Tsuchiya Tao) has quit her job at the movie theater and is devoting herself to her job as a labor union newspaper editor, but her mother Sumiko (Yamamoto Mirai), who has been in poor health for a long time, begins to feel unwell. Teppei remembers the events of August 9, 1945, that changed the fate of Yuriko's family.
In the present day, Izumi (Miyamoto Nobuko) suggests that they "crash the company together," and Reo (Kamiki, playing two roles) is hired as the second secretary to Izumi, who is the company president. In front of the employees who are confused by this sudden turn of events, Izumi introduces Reo as a candidate for the next president. Meanwhile, suspicions about Reo begin to arise among Izumi's family... and so the story unfolds.
The drama is a story of love, friendship, and family spanning 70 years, set on Hashima Island (Gunkanjima) in Nagasaki Prefecture, which developed through coal mining from the beginning of the Meiji era to the postwar high economic growth period, and in modern-day Tokyo. It is produced by the team behind the dramas "Unnatural" and "MIU404" (same series) and the movie "The Last Mile," with screenwriter Nogi Akiko, director Tsukahara Ayuko, and producer Arai Junko.
