A spin-off of the TV series "PJ ~Air Rescue Team~" (TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm), the drama "Another Story: Rescue Worker Nishina Ren's Last Mission," starring Hamada Gaku, has begun streaming on "TELASA." The drama carefully depicts the behind-the-scenes events of Nishina (Hamada), who died during rescue operations, and his conversation with his wife Mei (Kurokawa Tomoka) the night before the mission, which were only shown in fragments in the main story.
Hamada commented, "I was very happy that the spotlight was put on Nishina, with such a wonderful cast. This series also includes Nishina's daily life as an instructor, so I think you will enjoy it even more if you also watch this spin-off drama to get to know the Aviation Rescue Corps."
"So far, both the staff and cast have filmed most of the footage at the actual base, and have been supervised by instructors who are actual guides and rescue workers. Thanks to that experience, I think the rescue scenes are unlike anything we've seen before," he said.
Kurokawa also co-starred with Hamada in the popular TBS drama "3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi Sensei," and said, "It was deeply moving to be able to work with Hamada 20 years after our first co-starring. It was only because of Hamada that I was able to naturally imagine the irreplaceable time the couple have spent together and the future that lies ahead." She added, "This other story carefully depicts the daily life and past of the Nishina couple, so I hope you will watch to the end to see the story in which Hamada and I each carefully faced each other."
