The final episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama " Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea " (Sunday 9pm) starring actor Ryunosuke Kamiki was broadcast on December 22nd. In one scene, a field of cosmos flowers spreads out before Izumi ( Nobuko Miyamoto). This scene proves that Tetsuhei (Kamiki, playing two roles) has granted Izumi's wish in her youth, and many viewers said they "can't stop crying."
◇The following contains spoilers
Reo (Kamiki) and Izumi visit the house in Nomozaki, Nagasaki where Teppei lived.
According to Yamaguchi (Yumi Aso), a Nagasaki city employee who welcomed Izumi and her friends, Teppei volunteered to talk to children and the elderly, and donated the house through that connection. It is currently being used as a free space. Teppei had no one to leave an inheritance to, and Yamaguchi revealed, "I can't believe he passed away...it's been eight years since he passed away."
When Izumi heads to the garden, she finds it covered in cosmos flowers. Across the sea, she can see Hashima Island.
Asako (Hana Sugisaki Hana) once handed Teppei a cosmos seed, bashfully saying, "I want to plant cosmos with my future husband. Take this." Izumi recalls her beloved days on Hashima, saying, "Everyone's gone now, but... they're here. They're all sleeping inside me."
On social media, there were many comments such as, "The final scene with the cosmos made me cry. I guess he was thinking about Asako until the very end!", "The tears just wouldn't stop.... When it came to the cosmos, I burst out crying, 'Teppei!!!'", "The final scene with the cosmos in full bloom just brought the tears to my eyes. All the cast members who appeared in this production were great", and "For me, this was the best scene in the final episode. The moment the cosmos came into view, King Gnu's theme song started. Beyond the cosmos you can see the sea and Hashima Island. I'll remember this scene forever." and it became a hot topic.
