Nao Omori suddenly goes silent during an interview, and the reason is Aiba Masaki and Nao Matsushita"He's so kind!"

Actor Nao Omori attended a press conference at TV Asahi headquarters (Minato Ward, Tokyo) on July Getsuku for the drama series "The Great Chase: Metropolitan Police Department SSBC Violent Crimes Unit" (TV Asahi, Wednesdays at 9pm), which starts that evening. He showed concern for the reporters who were rushing to write their articles.

On this day, with just nine hours to go until the first episode aired, the triple lead actors Omori, Aiba Masaki, and Nao Matsushita gave interviews.

As the press conference drew to a close, there was a moment of silence when Omori took the microphone to answer a question. Omori smiled and said, "I'll wait until everyone has finished writing."

The reporters were busy asking the three questions one after another, typing away at their computer keyboards, but the venue was instantly filled with a friendly atmosphere. Omori, who was praised by Aiba and Matsushita for being "kind", smiled shyly.

The drama will be the first new drama in about 10 years to air in TV Asahi's traditional Wednesday 9pm time slot, which has previously aired shows such as "Aibou" and "Tokuso9". The drama is a detective drama set in the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Support and Analysis Center (SSBC), a newly established "SSBC Violent Crimes Unit" that collects and analyzes security camera footage and smartphone and PC analysis. Omori will play Igaki Shuji, a former detective from the First Investigation Division who is in charge of mobile analysis in the SSBC Violent Crimes Unit.
