Informer Blu-ray Box

[Machine Translation] Kenta Kiritani's first starring role in a drama series! He and Reo Sano of GENERATIONS buddy up to take on a case in this unprecedented "informant" crime suspense! Tsuyoshi Morita appears as the mysterious man who holds the key to the story! Ryusei Yokohama gives an impassioned performance as Kihara's former driver! Based on the book "Informer" (published by Saizo Literary Department) by Garyu Okita, who has been writing about a wide range of subjects from crime, politics, entertainment, and the underworld, and who also supervises the film. The film is directed by Michito Fujii, who won the Best Picture Award at the 43rd Japan Academy Prize for his film "Newspaper Reporter" and has continued to produce high-profile films such as "10 Years to Live". The film is an overwhelmingly realistic, powerful, stylish, and emotional crime suspense film unlike anything anyone has ever seen before. --The story follows Kanji Mishima (Reo Sano), a reporter for the Shukan Times, a weekly newspaper that mainly handles gossip articles. He feels a sense of emptiness and discomfort as he spends his days chasing celebrity scandals, without a shred of the journalistic spirit that he aspired to. One day, Mishima goes to Amagasaki to meet someone under the direction of Asuka Nagasawa ( MEGUMI ), the editor-in-chief. Nagasawa sees this as a chance to fulfill Mishima's former wish to "see a world you would never see if you lived a normal life," and sends him off, but what awaits him is a man named Keijiro Kihara (Kenta Kiritani), who is apparently not a regular guy. Kihara is a former second generation assistant to the Nishinomiya-kai, and is now an urban legend among informers as an "informer" who is well versed in all areas of the underworld, politics, and the entertainment industry. Contains 10 episodes. Booklet to be enclosed.
