Season 2:
The year is 1990, and Muranishi is riding high. When his investment banker introduces him to the concept of satellite TV, he finds his next big thing.
To raise money for a satellite channel, Muranishi starts cranking out videos and pushing boundaries, but he ends up neglecting Kaoru, his biggest star.
Sapphire Pictures is rebranded into the more upscale Diamond Visual. A shy woman named Miyuki responds to a casting call and winds up shadowing Kaoru.
Kaoru enthusiastically promotes her upcoming video. Umino finally gives his response regarding the satellite deal. Miyuki is nervous about her debut.
Muranishi gives Miyuki a new name: Mariko Nogi. But Diamond is running out of money, and as the bubble economy bursts, they have to find new revenue.
While the Diamond staff fumes, Muranishi desperately searches for a way to make the next satellite payment and keep the business afloat.
Kaoru is hospitalized. Inspired by industry changes, Wada recruits Toshi, Kawada and Mitamura to make videos for his chain. Muranishi's debt comes due.
Toshi takes matters with the yakuza into his own hands. The other Diamond staff members slowly move on with their lives.
