The synopsis and still images for episode 5 of the drama series "Galaxy Vote" (Kansai TV/Fuji TV, Mondays at 10 PM), starring actress Haru Kuroki, have been released. The episode will air on May 18th.
With former secretary-general's secretary Igarashi (Kenji Iwatani), who knows the ins and outs of elections, joining as a strategist, "Team Akari" gains momentum. When they finally find an office, which had been difficult to find, they are able to borrow the public bathhouse owned by Igarashi's family, which has since closed down, and Mari (Kuroki) and Akari (Kayo Noro) breathe a sigh of relief.
At that time, news broke that Takaomi (Kohei Matsushita), the secretary-general of the Minseito party, had personally visited Ryusei (Kohei Matsushita) and asked him to run for office. This drew attention to Ryusei, who was considered the most likely candidate to be officially endorsed by the party, and expectations for him to run grew. Igarashi suspected that this series of events was a scheme orchestrated by Takaomi's policy secretary, Shizukuishi (Makiya Yamaguchi).
A few days later, the date for the Tokyo gubernatorial election was finally decided. Just as the announcement was made, Ryusei declared his candidacy, and tearfully explained that he had made up his mind to repay the kindness of Takaomi, who had introduced him to the world of politics, and he captured the hearts of the voters.
The Ryusei camp steadily gains more votes. Igarashi proposes a daring strategy that could be considered a declaration of war against the Minseito party. Mari and Akari go to persuade Kumoi Hotaru (Shishido Kavka), the former mayor of Nishitama, who is essential to their plan, to join them...
The drama is an election entertainment series in which the protagonist, played by Kuroki, who has been ousted from the political world, recruits a bar owner with no political experience as his campaign strategist and takes on the Tokyo gubernatorial election.
