The 11th episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , titled "Tomimoto, the Honorable Horse Mask", was broadcast on March 16th, and viewers were drawn to the words and actions of Toriyama Kengyo, played by Hayato Ichihara.
In the 11th episode, Tsutaju (Yokohama), who is worried because her "Blue Chamber Beauty Double Mirror" is not selling for a high price, is asked by her fathers to invite the popular Joruri chanter Tomimoto Toyosato (Gonosuke, Kanichiro) to be the centerpiece of the Niwaka Festival.
He visits the theater with Ritsu (Yumi Adachi) and others and asks Umanosuke to participate in the Niwa Festival, but Umanosuke, who was previously banned from Yoshiwara, turns Tsutajyo away. Meanwhile, Tsutajyo learns that Toriyama Kengyo is the boss of Joruri, so he visits Kengyo's mansion where Segawa (Fuka Koshiba) is.
Kengyo, who calls Segawa "Sei," is quick to respond to the sound of his wife laughing happily in front of Tsutaju when they are reunited, and remarks, "You seem to be having a lot of fun, Sei." Then, as Tsutaju leaves the mansion, Kengyo quickly grabs Sei's arm as he stands up to stop her, and points out that Tsutaju is "a very kind man to you," before muttering, "Your pulse is fast..." Sei can only try to make amends by saying, "Well, when your husband touches you like this," and so on and so forth.
On social media, comments such as "Kengyo big brother is disturbing...", "Scary, scary... sticky Kengyo", "Male jealousy can be seen here too", "Toriyama Kengyo is scary!!", "It's a quiet scene of hell", and "He's aware of Sei's feelings" were posted one after another.
"UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama, depicting the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have built the foundations of Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, who is known for "Drama 10 'Ooku'" which was broadcast on NHK two years ago and became a big hit.
