The centerpiece of the renewed program is a live appearance by the Chief Cabinet Secretary, Tsuyoshi Hanyu ( Kinya Kitaoji ).

Despite the panic of the staff, Shindo heads to a certain location with new AD Yusuke Motohashi ( Shunsuke Michieda ) to question Hanyu about the reason for the cancellation and the connection to the bribery allegations. The bribery allegation is a scoop story that Shindo has been secretly pursuing. Furthermore, an unexpected event occurs on the spot, and "Newsgate" goes into live broadcast without its main anchor...! Total of 10 episodes on 6 discs (5 main discs + 1 bonus disc).
