The synopsis and still images for the eighth 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 May 27th.
What is the secret written on the computer of Luna's (Haru) father, Eisuke (Ryo Ishibashi)? Luna and Ryoko (Aso) continue their journey to decipher the passcode at the request of their mother (Mako Ishino). The only clues they have are that it is "a first edition of 'I Am a Cat'", "a puzzle game Luna and her father played together as children", and "a sequence of numbers". In order to get more detailed clues, they visit places associated with Natsume Soseki, old bookstores, and experts in Natsume Soseki research, but they have not yet been able to decipher it.
Meanwhile, Ryoko hears from Bubbly (Reo Sanada), a bartender at Luna's bar, that he wants to see his childhood friend and fellow townsman, Mami (Yuri Tsunematsu), in her wedding dress, even if only for a moment. Moreover, he wants to keep his own true identity a secret.
On the day of the wedding, the two sneak into the hotel. However, they learn that along with the luxury jewelry, Mami's cherished tiara, a memento from her mother, has also been stolen. Furthermore, the hotel is thrown into chaos as it is suspected that the theft was committed by a man wanted in connection with a series of jewelry store burglaries. Luna, who had secretly come to the hotel out of concern for Bubly, is called upon to help find the culprit...
