However, the main character of this work, titled ``Trace ~Kasouken Otoko~'', is not a woman, but a ``man''! Furthermore, the original author is former Kasouken, so this is a full-fledged Kasouken suspense story that is based on actual incidents and experiences and is full of reality. The leading actor is Ryo Nishikido, who has played a wide range of roles as an actor and made his first appearance in a taiga drama this year. This will be his first starring role in a drama on Fuji TV's Tsuki 9. (It has been 7 and a half years since she appeared in "Zenkai Girl" in July 2011, when she appeared on September 9th.) Also, supporting her will be Yuko Araki, the hottest young actress of the moment, and Eiichiro Funakoshi, the "king of suspense". did. A number of incidents unfold at the crime scene...What kind of "pieces of truth" do the traces left behind at the crime scene reveal? What is the “appraisal result” derived from that? What is the truth behind the “gloomy past” that the “man” played by Mr. Nishikido has? ■The unique trio of Ryo Nishikido x Yuko Araki x Eiichiro Funakoshi will captivate you A crime investigation suspense that can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages! Reiji Mano, played by Ryo Nishikido, is a forensic scientist at the Institute of Scientific Investigation who has a dark past. ``The results of the appraisal are the truth'' - setting himself apart from other researchers, he is always calm and collected. Eliminate subjectivity and speculation, believe only in the objective truth obtained from the test results, refute mercilessly even if you are a detective, find pieces of the truth that are about to be buried in the darkness, and help the deceased victims. I will reveal my thoughts and regrets. Also, he steps into the world of the crime lab without any purpose, and ends up getting involved in a murder case that he thought happened in a distant world... At the same time, he begins to empathize with the victims and their bereaved families. Yuko Araki plays forensic researcher Nonna Sawaguchi. She gets caught up in Mano, who goes out of control in her pursuit of the truth, and ends up being forced to help her. Eiichiro Funakoshi, the ``king of suspense'', plays Ryohei Toramaru, a veteran detective who is the complete opposite of Mano and is passionate about investigating cases and apprehending criminals by relying on his long-time detective intuition. Surprisingly, "Monday 9" will be her first appearance. A detective who was transferred from his jurisdiction to the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division. He still retains the field spirit from when he was in charge, and conducts investigations in a self-righteous manner, ignoring the opinions of his superiors and those around him. Although he is harsh towards his subordinates, including Mano and others at the forensic investigation lab, he has the same compassion for the victims as Mano. Toramaru's heart is moved when he sees Mano struggling to find the truth behind the incident. The thoughts of the two characters facing Mano and the steps taken to solve each case are exactly the same. It's full of tension, like a roller coaster. A unique trio of different ages and backgrounds face difficult cases, and the story is captivating in one episode! ■The latest comments from Eiichiro Funakoshi and Yuko Araki have arrived! *Partial excerpt The setting is an old detective who is nearing retirement age. I knew the time would come, and I'd always wanted to go there, but this is actually the first time I've carried that shadow. I finally made it to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department after being promoted by the authorities, but I probably wouldn't be promoted any more, and my future was clearly in sight. I would like to create an image of a detective that people of my generation can empathize with, thinking about what a professional detective who has spent so much of his career thinks, feels, and thinks. . *Partial excerpt I'm sure there are many people who are looking forward to seeing the original work, but the fun in the footage of "Trace ~Kasouken no Otoko~" is the difference in the characters, and the fact that it's a live-action adaptation makes it even more enjoyable. I would like to create some wonderful parts of the work from now on, so please look forward to it. ■The real scene drawn by the original author of "Kasouken" is completely reproduced! Actually, I didn't know...Full of trivia about the Scientific Research Institute that will tickle your intellectual curiosity This work is based on the popular comic ``Trace ~Reminiscences of a Forensic Researcher at the Scientific Research Institute'' (serialized in North Stars Pictures' ``Monthly Comic Zenon''), which has sold over 400,000 copies. The original author, Mr. Kei Koga, is a former researcher at the Criminal Investigation Research Institute who actually conducted the appraisal. The Forensic Science Research Institute (Kasouken) supports police investigative activities by scientifically examining traces of blood, hair, skin pieces, and other evidence left at crime scenes to uncover hidden truths. This organization plays an important role in modern criminal investigations, which are becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated. The actual crime lab is not open to the public, and very few people know what's inside. However, all the depictions are realistic because the author is a former Kasouken author. For example, the story unfolds from a perspective unique to the real thing, such as the container containing evidence and small items brought by Toramaru (Funakoshi), the chats of the staff, and the simple details of their daily work. In reality, there may not be many of the ``glamorous'' activities that you see in other dramas set at crime research labs. However, on the contrary, the simple work is often the key to solving the case, and the story is full of exciting developments. Coupled with Mano (Nishikido)'s pursuit of the truth about his own gruesome past... there is no doubt that you will be drawn into the drama even more! ■Fuji TV drama production team brings together all their efforts! January 9th is a journey to find the pieces of truth. In order to liven up the winter drama of 2019, this work brings together the full strength of the staff. The screenplay was written by Tomoko Aizawa, who is known for her ability to express precise and delicate emotions and worked on ``The Locked Room'' and ``People Are 100% Appearances.'' The production team includes Hiroaki Matsuyama, known for his works such as ``The Locked Room,'' ``Nobunaga Concerto,'' and ``LIAR GAME,'' which create unique visual effects and worldviews. Mano, who confronts the truth of the incident by appraising the traces and artifacts left at the crime scene, is portrayed as a sometimes mysterious character, and sometimes as a familiar character that viewers can't help but empathize with. There is no doubt that you will fall in love with the feeling that you are searching for the pieces of truth that Mano seeks. This work is a new era that has never been seen before, combining the realistic appearance of the forensic investigation laboratory, the fun of the latest forensic investigation, and the charm of unique characters, which can only be written by the original author of a former forensic investigation laboratory employee who actually conducted forensic examinations.
