TV and Radio Directly Connected! "VIVANT Villain Meeting Room" Featuring Villains Purged by Nogi Gathers, Starts 7/26 (Sun) at 11 PM!

TBS Radio is launching a fully official collaboration program, made possible only by the TBS Group, to coincide with the broadcast of the second season of the Sunday drama "VIVANT." The program is titled TBS Radio "VIVANT Villain Meeting Room."

The biggest highlight is the live broadcast that will take place just one hour after the main "VIVANT" drama concludes, starting at 11 PM on the same day. Villains purged by the protagonist Nogi in the first season will gather in the radio booth from the underworld or prison. Their only permitted entertainment is to monitor in real-time the "aftermath (second season)" of those who buried them, like Nogi.

They will intently watch the second season of VIVANT, squirming and plotting, with comments like "I was taken down there too..." and "This guy is making the same mistake I did." They will devise new strategies based on listener-agents' impressions and investigation reports.

Cast

The "Villain Alliance," gathered from the underworld and prison, will be the personalities for the live broadcast.

Takashi Yamamoto (played by Takaya Sodachi): Section Chief of the Energy Business Department at Marubishi Trading. A monitor for "Tent." A man ruined by Nogi, he is the leader of the Villain Meeting Room, knowing the pain of a loser.

Wanizu (played by Yamato Kawachi): Former Foreign Minister of Barka. From the perspective of a cunning politician willing to sell out his country for personal gain, he will sharply dissect the power structures and hidden agendas between nations in the second season.

Gobi (played by Toru Baba): Representative of Berel Corporation. A businessman who plotted a ruthless betrayal under the guise of being Nokoru's "best friend." With the cold perspective of a capitalist, he will expose the tricks of the deception unfolding in the main drama.

New villains newly purged in the second season and guests who seem out of place, like "Why are they here?" will also be brought to the radio booth sequentially and are scheduled to appear on the live broadcast.
