■Masaki Suda comment
I personally have a strong attachment to the work “Minou”, and it was a fun scene where I laughed and took on new challenges. I’m really happy to be back as “Minoh R”. You did it! Taizan!!
This time, it’s not a story about his son, but a story about him being replaced by other citizens one after another. Hehe, I’m definitely looking forward to seeing Kenichi Endo’s charm increase many times over. And I feel happy to be able to be involved in this work again.

■Episode 1 synopsis
Taizan Muto (Kenichi Endo) served as the Prime Minister nine years ago, but is now close to retiring from his political career. Taizan, who was living a leisurely life as a member of the sauna parliamentary group, the sushi parliamentary group, the dessert parliamentary group, receives a call from Shoichi Futaki (Kishibe Ittoku), who heads the largest faction of the Democratic Party.

The approval rating has hit an all-time low of 5%, and the candidates who come after him are full of gaffes, secret funds, women’s issues, and scandals. In order to save the Democratic Party, which has been in a predicament ever since its formation, Taizan is ordered to assume the position of Prime Minister again.

Taizan initially refuses, but after Niki’s persuasion, he decides to accept the position of Prime Minister “for the time being”. Takashi Kariya (Akio Kaneda), who is happy to be able to take the position of Chief Cabinet Secretary again, and Taizan, who is looking for a new first official secretary with his student Maruichirota Tanaka (Kazuya Ohashi), meet his previous secretary, Mohei Kaibara. Yuka Saejima (that) comes along, saying that she has recommended it.

Yuka, who is said to be an excellent person from the Narita Foundation, immediately proposes a cabinet proposal for the Muto cabinet. Taizan’s innovative ideas that are unfettered by political constraints amaze him, but in the end, he has no choice but to make cabinet appointments that reflect Futaki’s wishes…

The next day, while attending a live TV broadcast with political commentator Kiyohiko Hasunuma (Shinnosuke Mitsushima) and others, Taizan is attacked by a severe headache and loses consciousness. When Taizan wakes up, he realizes that he has been replaced again.

Then, Osamu Nitta (Keiya Yamauchi) and Mamoru Nekoda (Satoma Yamatoki) from the Public Security Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department appear and learn that the swap was due to hacking from a certain country…
