A young woman named Shari-na, a university student in her third year, is suddenly approached by a TV production crew during a variety show shoot. She's asked to participate in a special interview, offering a small payment of 5,000 yen for her time. Shari-na, still a bit taken aback, agrees, and the interview begins.
As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that Shari-na is determined to become a female news anchor. Her passion shines through as she talks about her aspirations and experiences, even as unexpected interruptions occur—like a mysterious figure appearing in the background and causing her a bit of embarrassment.
The interview takes a turn when the producer introduces a game with a tempting prize: 1 million yen. All Shari-na needs to do is read a news script for 30 minutes, facing any unexpected surprises that might come along the way. If she can manage to keep reading without missing a beat, the prize is hers. But if she falters—stopping for more than five seconds—the game is over.
Shari-na accepts the challenge, and the camera focuses on her as she begins reading the news script. She's in a realistic newsroom set, surrounded by cameras, and the pressure is on. As the minutes go by, the tension rises, and the unexpected continues—whether it's a sudden intrusion or a few awkward moments, Shari-na keeps going, showing both her determination and a hint of vulnerability.
As the time passes, it becomes clear that Shari-na's performance is not just about the script—it's about her resilience, her ability to adapt, and her dream of becoming a news anchor. Whether she wins the game or not, this experience is already shaping her journey.
The episode ends with a mix of excitement and relief, as the producer prepares to announce the results. Whether Shari-na will be able to keep reading all the way through or not, one thing is certain: she has already proven that she has what it takes to be a real news anchor.
