In order to deal with a rise in crime and unusual deaths, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare launches a new forensics agency. The agency is named the Unnatural Death Institute, or UDI for short. The ministry appoints Yasuo Kamikura (Matsushige Yutaka), a veteran politician and former high-ranking official at the ministry as the UDI’s Director.

The star of his team is Mikoto Misumi (Satomi Ishihara), a 33-year-old female forensics expert who has conducted autopsies on over 1500 bodies. She will be working alongside her lab assistant Shoji Yuko (Ichikawa Mikako) and Kei Nakado (Arata Iura), an older, male forensics expert. Along with a team that also comprises a technician and a recorder, the UDI is tasked to investigate a range of baffling deaths. These include an apparent suicide that isn’t quite what it seems, a “poisoning” case involving an apparent heart disease victim...and more! Will Mikoto Misumi and the gang solve all the mysteries that come before them?

“Unnatural” is a 2018 Japanese drama series that was directed by Tsukahara Ayuko, Takemura Kentaro, and Murao Yoshiaki.

🧬 Mysterious Murders 🧬

Takumi (Nakamura Shido) is a man who lives with his wife Mio (Takeuchi Yuko) and their six-year-old son. But when Mio dies suddenly, Takumi’s whole world falls apart. He is heartbroken, and left totally unsure how to make ends meet. He struggles to keep the house in order and his own health begins to suffer, leaving him blacking out on occasion and unable to stop his son from blaming himself for Mio’s death. The young boy’s only consolation is looking at a children’s book Mio once gave him. To book tells the story of a star that vanishes, but returns during the rainy season.

One day, as the heavy rains begin to fall, Takumi and his son come across what appears to be Mio, sitting in a woodland, taking shelter from the rain. But there’s a problem with this “version” of Mio – she doesn’t have any recollection of who she is, and does not recognize either of them. Takumi takes her in and begins to tell her the story of how they met and fell in love. But is this really his dead wife, come back to life? And is the story he is telling her really what happened all those years ago?

“Be With You” is a 2004 Japanese movie, based on a novel by Takuji Ichikawa, and directed by Nobuhiro Doi.
