The 11th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others) was broadcast on April 14th. In the episode, Hiroshi (played by Yutaka Takenouchi) spoke lines that overlapped with the lyrics of the theme song "Anpanman no March" from the anime "Soreike! Anpanman" (Nippon TV), which became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 11th episode, Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) is in his fifth year of middle school and has started drawing manga. With his entrance exams coming up next year, Takashi is worried about what he should do in the future. His uncle Hiroshi gives him advice: "What were you born for? What should you do with your life? What makes you happy? What do you do to make you happy? Think about it over and over again until you find that one thing that you think is right."
The words that Hiroshi conveys to Takashi overlap with the lyrics of "Anpanman March," written by Takashi Yanase, who is the model for Takashi, and which ask, "What is the purpose of our lives and what is our purpose in life?", and were a hot topic when the trailer was released.
On social media, people were saying things like, "I got goosebumps when I thought it would connect to the lyrics of Anpanman!", "I realized the depth and greatness of the lyrics of Anpanman March," "It really touched my heart," and "I had no idea Anpanman March had such great lyrics."
