The popular period drama "Abarenbou Shogun," which was broadcast from 1978 to 2003, will be revived for the first time in about 17 years, and the official X (formerly Twitter) of "TV Asahi Drama Premium 'Shin Abarenbou Shogun'" (9:00 pm on January 4, 2025) has released footage of the filming of Daigo Nishihata, who plays Tokugawa Ieshige.
The video shows Nishihata holding a Western-style rapier as he prepares for a photo shoot, and fans have been quick to comment, "I love Nishihata's sad eyes!", "His face is so beautiful I could almost be drawn in," "I can't wait to see him do sword fights with this sword," and "His silly face at the end had me laughing so hard."
