A blockbuster hit reaches its climax
The next episode of the hit NTV drama “Good Things, Bad Things” (Sat. 9 p.m.) will be the 9th. It will enter its climax. This article dated November 22 deduced that the main culprit was Takahiro Koyama (Shintaro Morimoto), president of a US app production company known as Tabor. New material has emerged since then, but we still can only think of Tabor as the main culprit.

Tabor’s words and actions were suspicious from the beginning of the story. Tabor, who lives in the U.S., learned about the reunion of his alma mater, Takari Elementary School, and the death of pharmacist Toshio Takeda (Katamari Mizukawa), aka Hin-chan, who fell to his death, because Kanta-Ro, or Kanta Sakurai (Asuka Kudo) told him. He stated so clearly. It was the second time. I got a call from Kantaro” (Tabor). It was the painting businessman, Masaru Takagi (Shoutaro Mamiya), aka King, who heard about this. At the time, Kantaro was in the hospital. He was burned in a fire at the izakaya (Japanese-style bar) where he runs the restaurant, and became unconscious. In the third episode, when Kantaro regained consciousness, he told King how he had come in contact with Tabor for the first time in 22 years since their graduation from elementary school. After Chik-chan passed away, Tabor called me right away,” Kantaro said. King’s expression hardened; what the two were saying was the opposite. Tabor said he got a call from Kantaro…” (King). Kantaro did not answer, and for some reason was silent. This is probably because Tabor and Kantaro are both telling lies. When you tell a lie, it is easy for the story to not add up. The truth is that the two had been in contact with each other before the reunion. After the reunion, Hin-chan attended the after-party held at a tavern owned by Kantaro. She also came to the third party at Imakuni, a retro snack bar that King has been going to for the past six months. The members were King, Hin-chan, and Kantaro. Afterward, Hin-chan went home with Kantaro. The easiest person to kill is Kantaro. He did not need to know Hin-chan’s address to commit the crime. All he had to do was to follow her. Kantaro was the one who killed Chikin-chan, under Tabor’s direction. He may have been lured by the offer of business funds. Judging from the footsteps, Kantaro was the only one who carried out the Hin-Chan murder. There is a clear difference between the footsteps of several and one person. I would like to return to the story of Kantaro and King. In the third session, after Kantaro gave a yada-yada answer as to whether he was contacted by Tabor or himself, he uttered a strange statement. He mentioned that King and Tabor had been on a break from each other since elementary school and urged, “What are you doing, go make up with him as soon as possible. If they are making up, there is no need to panic. To begin with, Tabor wandered over to King’s painting company in the second session and had a friendly conversation. Still, Kantaro urged King to hurry up and meet with Tabor. Funny. There was a new business presentation at Tabor’s company that day, and a sheet of plate glass fell on his head. King noticed just before and saved the day in the nick of time. It was all a ruse by Tabor. His accomplice hit King with a lump of paper and made him aware of the falling plate glass. If King did not come to the venue, Tabor was in trouble because he could not help him. If he did poorly, he would have died. So he had Cantaro tell him to go make up quickly. Tabor was also insured. He rigged it so that Sonoko Saruhashi (Yuko Shinki), a star reporter for the Weekly Apollo called Doko, would foresee the danger he was in. In fact, Doko read that Tabor was the next danger and contacted King. The trick by Tabor is the song “Mori no Kuma-san” (Bear in the Woods), a song with the names of the six members of the close-knit group. It is also a picture from 22 years ago on the theme of their dreams for the future. The friends were killed in the order in which they appeared in the song. The way they were killed was also related to the painting. In the order of the song, Tabor was next. Tabor also painted a picture of an astronaut, and the new project involved VR in space. You don’t have to be any child to know that Tabor is the next target.
