The synopsis and preview for the seventh episode (to be broadcast on June 5th) of the drama series "PJ ~Air Rescue Team~" (TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm), starring actor Seiyo Uchino, has been released, and Hasebe, played by Aoto Watanabe, is attracting attention.
The film depicts students aiming to become pararescue jumpers (commonly known as PJs, or pararescue jumpers) for the Air Self-Defense Force's Air Rescue Wing, an elite rescue unit known as the "last line" of lifesaving, as they undergo rigorous training under the strict and unconventional instructor Usami (Uchino).
In the sixth episode, which aired on May 29th, Hasebe, a student aspiring to be a rescuer, makes a false accusation about his instructor Usami's alleged power harassment, which escalates into a major issue. The situation is resolved when Hasebe comes clean, but the synopsis of the seventh episode, which was released, includes the following sentence: "During this whole turmoil, Hasebe has started to think about something...!?"
The trailer also shows Hasebe telling his colleagues, "There's something I've been thinking about for a while now..." as if he has made a decision.
Of the seven classmates, Fujiki (Anna Ishii) has already declined to take the paramedic course, with viewers taking to social media to say things like, "Will there be more dropouts?", "Hasebe won't quit, right? Everything's OK, right?", "Next week's preview looks crazy - again...?" and "Hasebe-kun really seems like he's about to drop out, I hope no one leaves."
