The 22nd episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others) was broadcast on April 29th, and the words spoken by Hiroshi ( Takumi Kitamura) to Takashi (Yutaka Takenouchi), who wants to "make a living by painting," became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 22, Takashi, who is worried about his future, confesses to Chihiro (Motoki Nakazawa) that he wants to live by painting instead of becoming a doctor. As he warns him not to tell his uncles, Hiroshi, who is standing at the entrance to the room, says, "If you make that loud voice, we can hear you."
Afterwards, Hiroshi confronted Taka, saying, "That's not realistic. You can't make a living from painting," and then advised, "If that's the case, you have no choice but to come to terms with reality. You could make a living from designing... maybe." He then asked Taka, "If you could draw illustrations for books or advertisements. No, I can't say for sure. Maybe you could. Are you ready to bet your life on 'maybe'?"
When Taka answered "Yes" with a serious look on his face, Hiroshi encouraged him, saying, "Okay, Taka, go to art school. It's the path you've chosen. You take responsibility for it."
Takashi bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, uncle," and apologized to his aunt Chiyoko (Naho Toda), saying, "Auntie, I'm sorry for being a brother who doesn't listen to what you say." Hiroshi lightly remarked, "That's true," and lightened the mood.
On social media, there were many praises such as "Uncle Hiroshi's words really hit home," "He's the person who understands me best," "As always, he's full of great quotes," "He's so generous!", "Uncle Hiroshi's advice was too perfect," and "He's the best...he's more like a father than his own father now."
