The seventh episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama "Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea" (Sundays at 9pm), starring Ryunosuke Kamiki, will be broadcast on December 8th.
The previous episode was in the present day. Reo (Kamiki) asked Izumi (Miyamoto Nobuko) "Where is Teppei (Kamiki in a dual role) now?" Izumi evades the question by saying it's a secret.
While looking at a photo of Hashima Island when it was closed, Reo asks, "Where is Teppei?" but Izumi firmly replies, "He's not here." Immediately after, Izumi corrects him, saying, "He's not in this photo," and says, "I don't know either. What happened to him, Teppei?"
Episode 7: Reo is shocked when Izumi tells him that Teppei's whereabouts are currently unknown.
The year is 1964. In the Araki household, Shinpei (Saito Takumi) and Rina's (Ikeda Eliza) son turns one year old, bringing special joy to Ippei (Kunimura Jun) and Haru (Nakajima Tomoko).
Kensho (Hiroya Shimizu) and Yuriko (Tao Tsuchiya) are celebrating their first wedding anniversary. While everyone around them is in a happy mood, Teppei and Asako (Hana Sugisaki) are also secretly dating.
One day, while Ippei was working in the mine, a gas explosion and fire broke out. Shinpei and Teppei face the biggest crisis on Hashima Island. A day that will shake their fate begins...
The drama is written by Akiko Nogi, directed by Ayuko Tsukahara, and produced by Junko Arai, and is produced by the team behind the TV drama "MIU404" (same network) and the film "The Last Mile." It is a story of love, friendship, and family set on Hashima Island (Gunkanjima) in Nagasaki Prefecture, which developed through coal mining from the early Meiji period to the postwar high economic growth period, and in modern-day Tokyo.
