“The truth makes the world go round” – this is the mantra for Soichi Shindo, a 15-year veteran reporter in the social affairs department of a public broadcasting company. When he is recruited as a news anchor by a commercial TV station suffering from low viewership ratings, he vows to stop at nothing in pursuit of the truth. Flaunting company rules, he sweeps everyone around him into his charismatic style of interviews and investigations. But can he uncover deeply-buried truths, and expose the evil around him?

Following its smash hit debut in 2015, Downtown Rocket returns for a second season in 2018 furthering the struggles and challenges of Kohei Tsukuda, a former rocket scientist and leader of the Tsukuda Manufacturig Co., a cozy factory in the old part of Tokyo. Having lost his father, Kohei had taken over the firm’s development of a purely domestically-made rocket for a major industrial concern, Teikoku Heavy Industries and their Stardust Project. But when news arrives of a sudden replacement of the Teikoku president, the Stardust Project appears in jeopardy, further compounded by Tsukuda’s loss of a major client, a farm machinery maker, who decides to cancel engine orders.
Having just shifted from rocket engines to farm equipment, Kohei and his factory must once again face a series of make-or-break challenges in order to survive.
