This from Japan Today:
Ryoko Yonekura takes a bullet in 'The Negotiator'
Wednesday 18th February, 05:08 AM JST

TOKYO —
Actress Ryoko Yonekura is back as detective Reiko Usanagi in TV Asahifs drama special gThe Negotiatorh to be shown on Feb 28 at 9 p.m. Yonekura, 33, starred in a special for the drama back in January last year, in which she played the lone female member of a special investigation team.

This time she is called back into action as kidnappings take place simultaneously in five separate locations and a ransom of over 10 billion yen is demanded. Yonekurafs Usanagi takes a bullet in the opening sequence which took two days to film and involved 200 extras and a dozen police cars.

The scene is reminiscent of one which late actor Yusaku Matsuda played in popular crime drama gTaiyo ni hoero!h or gBark at the Sun,h when his character - the gjeans detectiveh - died.

Yonekura said she did her best and tried not to be shy about her characterfs writhing in pain. gIt was my first time to play someone getting shot, and there were many other things I hadnft done before. I had a great time on set,h she said.

This may be of interest:

Yonekura Ryoko appears as a guest on the latest episode of Shojiki Shindoi available at DA. She's promoting her upcoming SP, of course.

It may be somewhat difficult to follow, as they're trying food from different parts of Japan specifically Aichi, Hokkaido and Okinawa. The parts where there's a little quiz at the beginning of each part is also a little hard to follow. Nonetheless, it is still entertaining even if you can't really understand much.

Thanks for the heads up and the link! :victory:

Brief explanation of how the quiz works so you can kinda follow it.

They go to different restaurants that have serve different types of food. They are asked a question and whoever gets the correct answer, can eat every one of the dishes they order. The one that gets it wrong can only sit and watch. But that rule kinda falls by the wayside.

There are of course jokes in there. There was a couple that I didn't entirely understand so maybe if I watch it again and figure out the jokes I may explain some of them. Or not.

Anyway, enjoy!
