"Tomorrow Will Be a Better Day" Episode 2 Synopsis Released

Haruka Fukuhara stars in the Fuji TV Getsuku drama "Tomorrow Will Be a Better Day" (Mondays at 9pm). The synopsis and stills from the second episode, which will air on July 14th, have been released.

The police contacted the Hamase City Child Consultation Center to report that a boy had shoplifted at a convenience store. When Tsubasa Natsui (played by Fukuhara) and Sosuke Kurata (played by Hayashi Kento) headed to the scene, they found a boy (Sojiro Chiba) whom Tsubasa had seen around town before. However, the boy didn't say anything about his name, and wouldn't let go of the bottled drink and sweet bread he had stolen.

Tsubasa and Kurata leave the boy at a temporary shelter. The section chief and nursery teacher, Minamino Jo (Yanagiba Toshiro), notices that the tired, sleeping boy is clutching a small figurine. There is a "Rhythm" written on it.

At the request of the children at the temporary shelter, Tsubasa and child psychologist Himawari Makita (Erika Ikuta) take them to a festival at a nearby shrine. When a boy finds out about this, he says he wants to go too. However, while the children are playing at the festival, the boy suddenly runs away.

Tsubasa and his friends receive a notice from a nearby station that a 10-year-old girl has ridden the train without paying. It appears that this is her third time riding the train without paying. What is the girl's intention behind repeatedly riding the train without paying?

The script was written by Aoki Tani of the theater company Jikan Seisaku, and the story is set in a seaside child consultation center. The story is a heartwarming portrayal of the protagonist, Tsubasa Natsui (played by Fukuhara), who is suddenly transferred from the Kanagawa Prefectural Police's violent crimes division to the child consultation center, and how he faces various children and parents as a new child welfare officer and grows together with them.
