Based on the novel Nanimono by Asai Ryo, Someone gathers an all-star cast for an incisive drama about how the job-hunting process & social media test & reveal the inner depths of ones character. Satoh Takeru ( Rurouni Kenshin), Suda Masaki ( Death Note Light up the NEW world), Arimura Kasumi ( Flying Colors), Nikaido Fumi ( Wolf Girl & Black Prince) & Okada Masaki ( The Top Secret: Murder in Mind) play five fresh grads of different personalities who are navigating the spirit-crushing competition of finding a job. Directed by Miura Daisuke ( Loves Whirlpool), Someone deftly reads between the lines, using Twitter behavior, theater sketches & passive-aggressive interactions to build the underlying tension & turmoil of the protagonists.
Reticent observer Takuto (Satoh Takeru) sets aside his passion for theater & approaches the job-hunting process with serious precision. His roommate, bright & free-spirited Kamiya (Suda Masaki), begins his job search late with no goal in mind. Gentle & sincere Mizuki (Arimura Kasumi), Kamiyas ex-girlfriend, just returned from study abroad & seeks the job security of a large company. Mizukis big-talking friend Rika (Nikaido Fumi) is determined to get a good job, while her patronizing boyfriend Miyamoto (Okada Masaki) puts down the job-seeking herd mentality. The five meet regularly at Rikas apartment & share their job-searching progress. They encourage each other nominally & craft public identities on Twitter, but each person is keeping their true thoughts to themselves.
