The Incident Is Happening Around It

August 2025 •Japanese

Although there are many criminal articles, this drama does not solve any cases. Instead, a 15-minute comedy drama that focuses on the detectives' troubles and "small cases" that occur around the incident. Fuka Koshiba plays Ichika Mano, a detective who wants to do everything on her own and is not good at relying on others. Mano's buddy is Kazuto Udagawa (played by Masashi Kasamatsu). He is the exact opposite of Mano, rational and efficient, and has no hesitation in asking people for favors. A comedy drama with a new sensation, in which a pair of young detectives with such contradictory personalities unfolds while sometimes involving the people around them.

Four Star Playhouse

August 2025 •English

Four Star Playhouse is an American television anthology series that ran from 1952 to 1956, sponsored in its first bi-weekly season by The Singer Company; Bristol-Myers became an alternate sponsor when it became a weekly series in the fall of 1953. The original premise was that Charles Boyer, Ida Lupino, David Niven, and Dick Powell would take turns starring in episodes. However, several other performers took the lead from time to time, including Ronald Colman and Joan Fontaine. Blake Edwards was among the writers and directors who contributed to the series. Edwards created the recurring character of illegal gambling house operator Willie Dante for Dick Powell to play on this series. The character was later revamped and spun off in his own series starring Howard Duff, then-husband of Lupino. The pilot for Meet McGraw, starring Frank Lovejoy, aired here, as did another episode in which Lovejoy recreated his role of Chicago newspaper reporter Randy Stone, from the radio drama Nightbeat.
