The 105th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others) was broadcast on February 28th. In the episode, the wake of Nagayoshi (Matsudaira Ken) was held, and surprising mourners appeared one after another. Viewers were surprised when Nagayoshi's "tall story" was revealed.
At the wake of Nagayoshi, who always helped people, people who had helped him in the past came one after another. Among them were some famous people, much to the surprise of Yui (Hashimoto) and her family.
The first was Enka singer Keisuke Yamauchi. During his early days, when he was struggling with singing, he happened to meet Eikichi at a bar in Itoshima, who encouraged him by saying, "You have talent." Yamauchi put his hands together in front of Eikichi's portrait and sang "Kimi to Itsumademo" (Forever With You) to pay his respects.
The second person was former soccer player Ramos Rui. When the saint (Kitamura Yukiya) asked him what kind of relationship he had with Nagayoshi, Ramos replied, "I'm really grateful for all he's done for me..." Ramos put his hands together in front of Nagayoshi's portrait and expressed his gratitude in Portuguese, saying, "Thank you very much."
During his lifetime, Nagayoshi had said things like, "I gave advice to an enka singer who appeared on the Red and White Song Battle," and "I taught Ramos how to do a loop shot," but Yui's family thought they were just lies. However, when the two actually paid their respects, it became clear that Nagayoshi's stories were not lies.
In addition, Sadaharu Oh's bat, Antonio Inoki's fighting spirit towel, and the first Tenko Hikita's top hat arrived, and Yui was surprised, saying, "The usual hoax..." When Masato said, "Someone just sent it for fun," Kayo (Yoshiko Miyazaki) smiled and said, "Well, I guess that's what it was."
On social media, people were saying things like, "So all the tall tales were true...I'm shocked!", "The foreshadowing of the mysterious tall tales he told when he was alive is neatly tied up," "I'm glad my grandpa's tall tales were true," "I've gotten to the point where I can't tell what's true and what's a lie," and "It's so typical of Nagayoshi that you can't even tell what's a lie and what's not."
