The synopsis and still images for the second episode of the NTV drama series "Tsukiyo Koro - The Answer Lies in Masterpieces -" (Wednesdays at 10 PM), starring Haru and Kumiko Aso, have been released. The episode will air on April 15th.
Ryoko (played by Aso) begins her search for her college sweetheart, Kazuto (Ryuto Sakuma). However, the only clues she has are that he "lives in Osaka," "inherited his parents' business," and "his last name is Sato." Ryoko is at a loss, but Luna (played by Haru) insists that the key to finding Kazuto is in the library.
Following the clues they uncovered, they arrived at Doshomachi, a town also known as the setting for Junichiro Tanizaki's masterpiece, "Shunkinsho." They visited a kimono shop there called "Sato Shokai," but were turned away by the shop owner, Yoriko (Masami Hisamoto), who carried a white cane, with the words, "We don't serve first-time customers." Furthermore, they learned that Tamura (Shuntaro Yanagi) and Kominato (Kiyohiko Shibukawa) were investigating a robbery and murder case in the vicinity.
Amidst the unsettling atmosphere, Luna realizes the true meaning hidden within Yoriko's words, "No first-time customers allowed"...
The drama is a thrilling literary road mystery based on the novel of the same name by mystery writer Rikako Akiyoshi, known for works such as "Snow Flower" and "Absolute Justice." The script is written by Yukako Shimizu, who also wrote the drama "Reversal Orchestra" and the film "Arrogance and Kindness," while the directors are Shunpei Marutani, who wrote the dramas "119 Emergency Call" and "Complete Adultery," and Hiroto Akashi, who wrote "Ikinarikon."
