The 15th episode of the NHK morning drama " Anpan " (General Asadora , Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on April 18th, and viewers were drawn to the interaction between Tomiko ( Nanako Matsushima) and Chiyoko (Naho Toda).
In the 15th episode, Tomiko, who has divorced her second husband, returns to the Yanai family for the first time in eight years. Tomiko makes tea for Takashi (played by Takumi Kitamura) and the maid Shin (played by Himari Hitomi). When Chiyoko is confused and asks, "What are you doing?" Tomiko responds, "As you can see, I'm making tea." "It's calming. How about it, Chiyoko?"
Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, Takashi left the room, saying, "Um... I have some homework to do, so please, Auntie." Tomiko handed Chiyoko some tea and said, "It's fine if you don't follow the proper etiquette." Chiyoko responded, "I know that," and took a sip of tea according to the proper etiquette.
When Chiyoko asked, "How long will you be staying? My husband is a kind man, so he won't say anything, but I thought I'd ask anyway," Tomiko replied, "Tea ceremony, flower arrangement, koto. I've learned the basics. But it's still hard for a woman to live alone." She continued, "I'm worried about Takashi," to which Chiyoko replied sarcastically, "It seems that you've also learned parental love after your new marriage." Tomiko smiled and asked, "Thanks to you. Would you like some light tea?" Chiyoko replied with a forced smile, "No thanks," and Shin, sandwiched between the two of them, looked uncomfortable as he bowed his head.
Matsushima and Toda, who played the heroines of the Asadora"Himawari" in the first half of 1996 and "Eenyobo" in the first half of 1993, respectively, had a fierce performance on social media, with comments such as "I was shivering that morning," "The battle between the Asadora heroines was intense," "A tea party from hell," and "I can't help but feel sorry for Shin-chan."
