Some information about the tv series:
This project was selected out of more than 300 applications, and is an original work by producer Koichi Hamatani who has produced a series of challenging projects, such as "The Supporting Actors" (バイプレイヤーズ). The lead actor is Shingo Katori, who last appeared in a tv drama, 5 years ago.
Japan is an anonymous country with a remarkably high percentage of anonymity on the internet compared to other countries (70%). There is no end to internet slander and flame wars, and "murder by keyboard" or "finger murder" has become a social problem. The story is about the "Finger Murder Task Force", a newly established unit of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which deals with such crimes. The main character, Banjo Wataru, played by Katori Shingo is a lone wolf who was removed from the Investigation Division, after a certain incident, but with the other members of the task force, who all have strong personalities, they solve "finger murder" cases, and find the anonymous criminals. This is a mystery that depicts the deep-rooted social problems and human drama of modern Japan.

Episode 5 Synopsis
"The Finger Murder Task Force" receives a request from Sawatii (Atsushi Hashimoto), a popular video streamer, who says that the number of slanderous comments on SNS, increased about a month ago, to the point where he received death threats. The threats seem to come from Shuichi Hoshino (Riku Hagiwara), who takes a hit both in the real world and the online world. However, Shiori Yamana (Riho Sayashi), a librarian who knows Hoshino, claims he is a good person. In the meantime, Sawatii seems to be hiding something... While the task force is trying to get a confession from Hoshino, he makes the worst possible choice.
Riho Sayashi comments
I am honored to have been included as a guest star in this work, which made me think from various perspectives about the issues regarding SNS that are being discussed lately. My discussions with Katori, the cast, the director and staff on how to portray the character effectively were a great learning experience. I hope you will watch this work, and please pay close attention to the interaction between Hoshino and Shiori.
