The eighth episode of the NHK drama series "Tokyo Salad Bowl" (General TV, Tuesday 10pm), starring actors Nao and Ryuhei Matsuda, will be broadcast on February 25th. The subtitle of the episode is "Pigeons and the Laundromat." Long ago, Satoru Oda (Aoi Nakamura) lived a rough life hanging out with a group of delinquents who were his childhood friends.
After being advised by Toyokazu (Mr. Miura), a police officer in the juvenile division, to get a second chance at life, Oda becomes a police officer and has a fateful encounter with Yukino (Mr. Matsuda).
Koda (Nao) is shocked to learn that it was Oda Satoru who leaked Agawa's mistranslation to the media, and that he later committed suicide. Yukino had been avoiding Koda as he got closer and closer to the truth, but finally her sadness begins to overflow...
The trailer also shows the words "The investigation that was suppressed" and "Words that could not be said."
The drama is based on the manga "Tokyo Salad Bowl - International Investigation Case File" by Kuromaru, who is also known for "Kurosagi." Set in Tokyo, where about 700,000 foreign residents live, Nao plays the green-haired international investigation police officer Mari Koda, and together with the troubled Chinese interpreter Ryo Yukino, played by Matsuda, the drama is a socially conscious entertainment that picks up the lives of those who are about to fall through the cracks of Japanese society.
