Based on award-winning writer Kazuki Kaneshiro's story, "CRISIS" focuses on Inami and Tamaru, two members of a secret team of specialists working directly under the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau of the National Police Agency. As the time limit draws closer, the Special Security Squad is depicted struggling through the crisis with a powerful sense of reality, pulling the viewer into the middle of the action for a first-hand experience of action entertainment. Inami, a former member of the Self-Defense Forces, and Tamaru, a former Foreign Affairs police officer, are two of the five specialists of their own field on the Special Investigations Team, who all carry scars from the past and are all unique in their own way. Of course, one of the highlights is the fierce yet brilliant combat action by Oguri and Nishijima, but this drama also pictures how each of the five team members, in anguish and sandwiched between his or her own sense of justice and the cruelness of reality, tackles the incident.—Kansai TV
