Fill in the Blanks (Kuuhaku wo Mitashinasai) - Episode 01

Thanks to Facebook, I found out that NHK as been offering some dramas with English subs on their site.  I have no idea how long they've been doing this but I'm glad they are.  I was looking at the programs they have and there are quite a few that I want to watch.

So this drama is about a guy who comes back to life after he had died 3 years before.  There have been many people this has happened to and they call them "re-lifers".

Official cause of death for Tetsuo was suicide but he was murdered because there's no way he would have committed suicide.  According to the police report, suicide was the only possible reason.

Main character, Tsuchiya Tetsuo, was married with 1 son and believes he was happy so there was no way he died by suicide.  He has no way to prove it because he doesn't remember what happened. 

This first episode has him trying to get his old job back and trying to figure out who murdered him.  He thinks it was this security guy at work but again, no proof.  So he goes to the police to tell them he thinks he was murdered.
