May I blackmail you?

Senkawa Kanji (Dean Fujioka) is a “professional villain” who takes on cases that the police or private investigators cannot handle.

How will this highly unusual pair work together to solve the cases?

May I blackmail you? premieres January 2, Mondays and Tuesdays at 9PM.

Kiss that Kills

Dojima Otaro (Kento Yamazaki) is the most sought-after host at a club. He is the ultimate player who is quick to move on to his next target as soon as he sees no value in in a woman. One day, a pale-looking woman with bright red lips appears before Otaro and gives him the "Kiss of Death." This kiss causes Otaro experience breathing difficulties and heart palpitations, before sending him into a seizure — and finally, he dies. Yet he wakes up to seven days before the event and relives the events over and over again! Can Otaro unravel the mystery behind the "kiss" and the "death loops"?
