Mikami Sensei:The final episode is coming soon! The fourth installment of the "Graduation Messages" from Rintoku Gakuin Class 3-2, including "Jigen"Airu Kubozuka, "Tominaga"Aju Makita, and others, attendance numbers 19-24

The final episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama " Mikami Sensei " (Sunday 9pm), starring actor Tori Matsuzaka , will be broadcast on March 23rd. The 29 students of Rintoku Gakuen's Class 3-2 have been facing and "thinking" about various issues together with Mikami ( Airu Kubozuka). In the run up to the final episode, we will be introducing the "graduation messages" of all the students in order of their attendance numbers. The fourth installment will feature the six students with attendance numbers 19 to 24: Jigen Kenta (Kubota Airu), Togakushi Shiori (Rintaro Hachimura), Tokumori Jin (Aju Makita), Tominaga Ao (Aoi Shirakura), Nagura Chika (Shirakura Aozora), and Hatano Yuu (Takeyuki Mayumi).

The drama is an original "great reversal story of education revival" in which Takashi Mikami (played by Matsuzaka), a bureaucrat in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, who wants to change Japan's education system, takes to the podium at a private high school and stands up to authority while guiding 18-year-old high school students living in the Reiwa era.

◇Kenta Tsugimoto/ Airu Kubozuka

Please pay attention to how the students, who were constantly told by Mikami Sensei to "think," face the problem, make decisions, and move forward. The scene I want you to watch again is Jigen's room. It's a romantic room filled with love for "Lupin the Third," where "nostalgia" and "newness" coexist, so I hope you will watch it over and over again. Thinking is the creator. I asked myself questions over and over again, and it was an opportunity to discover a new side of myself. I will treasure it. Thank you very much.

◇Togakushi Bookmark/Maru Nouchi

"A question with no answer". I hope that the final words that Mikami Sensei sends to class 3-2 will touch the hearts of viewers as well. There are so many scenes that I love, and I really want to rewatch every episode, but I especially find myself rewatching episode 6, in which Mikami Sensei's past is revealed. Whenever Mikami Sensei and Kanzaki talk in the classroom, Togakushi always sits in front of Kanzaki, and is caught in the middle and feels the intensity between the two of them. I was very happy to be able to act with such wonderful teachers, classmates, and staff for about three months. Thank you very much.

◇Tokumori Jin (Tokumori Jin) / Rintaro Hachimura

In the blink of an eye, it's time for the final episode and graduation. With Mikami Sensei's arrival, the entire class has grown. They easily seek the right answer based on the common sense that is prevalent in society, and don't doubt that it is the right answer. They end up prioritizing their own interests. They unknowingly become adults who are convenient for society and common sense. However, they take things seriously and try to "think" for a moment. They empathize with others and face them. Please pay attention to how this class has grown in the final episode. Once again, I am really glad that not only Tokumori but also I myself was able to encounter Mikami Sensei and this work. Thank you very much. Please look forward to the final episode!

◇ Aoi Tominaga / Aju Makita

I was particularly impressed by the scene in episode 6 where Mikami Sensei talks about his brother, Kota (played by Niihara Taisuke). When I was acting, I thought that it might be the first time that Mikami Sensei has ever talked about his brother to someone, and it was painful. But I thought that we should take in everything he says and not miss a single word. Matsuzaka-san is someone who acts while looking straight into our eyes. As a teacher and as an actor, he is cool and someone I respect. Matsuzaka-san's acting helped me many times during filming. I think it was a very difficult shoot. I'll do my best so that I can meet you again somewhere! Thank you for all your hard work.

◇Chika Nagura / Aoi Shirakura

Rintoku. We are graduating. The filming itself took about three months, but it was such an intense period that it felt like we had spent a whole year with this class. That's why I think we can deliver the best "final episode" possible. The most memorable moment was when I saw Mikami Sensei for the first time in episode 1. I think it's because of that first episode that you can see how everyone has grown, so please watch episode 1 and the other episodes as many times as you like!!

To Mikami Sensei and Tori Matsuzaka, thank you for the past three months. I think it's as difficult now as it was in the past to determine what makes a good teacher, but I was glad that both Mikami Sensei and Matsuzaka-san looked me in the eye when I spoke to them. They were the best teachers.

I'm so glad that my last homeroom teacher was Tori Matsuzaka!!

◇Tasuku Hatano / Takeyuki Mayumi

In the final episode, you will be able to see the change in the students' way of thinking from episode 1, and the culmination of what they have been telling the world through that change in thinking. After watching the final episode, I would like you to watch it again from episode 1!

One scene that left a strong impression on me was when Kanzaki gave advice to the others when they were arguing about the contents of the BizCon (high school business project competition). This scene shows a big change in Kanzaki, the student who seemed to be the most hostile towards Mikami Sensei!

It was really fun to be able to participate in Team Okami led by Tori Matsuzaka! I also received a lot of words of advice from Takeyuki Mayumi that I personally want to cherish for the rest of my life! Thank you so much for the past 3 months!
