The 42nd episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada, was broadcast on May 27th. The episode featured many famous lines uttered by the late Hiroshi ( Yutaka Takenouchi Yutaka), causing a sense of loss among viewers.
In episode 42, the Yanai family is in mourning after Hiroshi's death. Chiyoko (Naho Toda) invites Nobu (Imada) and Hatako (Noriko Eguchi), who came to pay her respects, to a toast. "Yam-onchan" Kusakichi (Sadao Abe ) gives an Anpan (sweet bean bun) to Nobu when he returns home, telling him to take it to Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura ).
At that time, Taka was sitting alone on a seesaw in a vacant lot. He was immersed in his graduation project and was unable to make it in time for Hiroshi's death. He was filled with regret and shed tears as he remembered the words Hiroshi had said to him. At that time, a scene of Hiroshi's famous words was inserted in a flashback.
"Draw great pictures. If you do what you love, you'll love it."
"What was I born for? What am I going to do with my life? I'll struggle until I find it. I'll struggle like hell."
"Whether you cry or laugh, the sun will rise again. Next to despair lies hope."
Hiroshi was loved by viewers as a "quote maker" and "the most important person in Kochi" for his numerous famous lines in the drama. On social media, people were saying things like, "Please come back, Hiroshi sensei...", "I can't stop crying", "We have lost such a great person", "Even after becoming a star, Uncle Hiroshi can't stop talking about his handsome memories and making famous lines", and "After missing Go-chan, I'm now missing Uncle Hiroshi...I'm having trouble with my tears lately."
