The seventh episode of the drama series "The Hot Spot" (Nippon TV, Sunday 10:30 pm) starring actress Mikako Ichikawa was broadcast on February 23rd. The special abilities of the alien Takahashi (Akihiro Kakuta), who works at a business hotel, became known to Kishimoto (Sosuke Ikematsu), the director of "Late Night from Monday", causing a stir on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers.
Kishimoto and Matsuzaki (Maeda Oshiro) are back in town. The two are told by the taxi driver they rode in before, "We met again after that." The man with glasses carried a drunk, large man from a bar by himself. However, the two realize from the footage on the dashcam that the man is not Onodera, but Takahashi.
Just as the two are convinced of Takahashi's special abilities, Yumi (Kaho) and Mizuki (Shida Mirai) appear from the shopping mall. The two are asked about Takahashi during the interview, but they quickly get around it with a bit of quick thinking. However, Kishimoto notices their lies and lies in wait to interview Takahashi directly. After coming into contact with Takahashi, Kishimoto mutters to Matsuzaki in the taxi, "If this goes wrong, it could become a news item"... and so the story unfolds.
Later in the story, Takahashi reveals to Yumi about his conversation with Kishimoto. Takahashi uses his powers to save Kishimoto when he is about to be hit by a car. To a stunned Kishimoto, Takahashi says, "As you can see. Are you satisfied? Without this power, you would be dead right now. I saved your life, so please stop interfering with my life."
As Takahashi was leaving, he threatened Kishimoto with a few lies, saying, "By the way, my powers are not limited to this. I can move objects without touching them, and I can even control nature. You know what that means, right? If you want to live a long life, don't pry any more and don't tell anyone. Otherwise, something bad may happen to you."
When Kishimoto discovered Takahashi's ability, comments spread on social media such as "Takahashi is too cool," "Wow, he saved someone again!", "For real?", "Oh, he saved someone," "Takahashi is so kind," and "Kado-chan is so cool lol."
