The 14th episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sundays at 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , titled "Tsutae Segawa Fuufu Jouchuu", was broadcast on April 6th, and the average viewership rating (according to Video Research, Kanto region, same below) was 10.8% for households and 6.5% for individuals.
" UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama and depicts the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have laid the foundations for Japan's media industry and pop culture.
In episode 14, the shogunate cracks down on the Todo-za troupe, and the Kengyo (Hayato Ichihara) and Segawa (Sei, Fuka Koshiba) are arrested, and even Tsutae (Yokohama) is taken away by the police.
After being released, Tsutae learns from Ooyasu (played by Atsushi Ito) that a vacant store will be available on Gojikendo, and wonders if he could become independent and open his own store. Eventually, Kengyo is sentenced, and Segawa is divorced by Kengyo. Tsutae invites Segawa to "open the store together," and they were meant to live together, but...
Towards the end of the film, Tsutae visits Segawa, but she has already left Yoshiwara. As the wife of a kengyo who had built up a large fortune as a loan shark, Segawa faced strong public criticism and believed that having a "notorious" reputation close to her would be an obstacle to Tsutae's dreams, so she chose to step aside.
The message left behind included the farewell words "Farewell"... and so the story unfolded.
