On June 13th, Motoki Nakazawa , who plays Chihiro Yanai in the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), appeared live on the station's morning information program "Asaichi" (General TV, Monday to Friday 8:15 AM). He revealed the name of the big-name actor who rushed to film the famous scene.
In the 54th episode, which aired on June 12th, Chihiro reunites with her brother Takashi (played by Takumi Kitamura) at a hotel in Kokura, where she reveals her true feelings that she had never confessed before. The two of them performed a spectacular 15-minute comedy act, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In fact, actor Shun Oguri, the president and CEO of Tristone Entertainment, the talent agency to which Nakazawa belongs, also attended the filming of this famous scene.
Looking back on the filming, Nakazawa said, "I noticed a huge number of people gathered in front of the monitor, and when I looked, I saw Oguri standing there with his arms around his waist. He had an incredible aura, so I wondered who it was, and it was Oguri. Takumi had also co-starred with Oguri, so I was like, 'Wow!' A senior from my agency came to watch."
When asked by the network's announcer, Naoko Suzuki, "After you realized it, were you okay?" Nakazawa smiled and said, "I was watching the other way around, so I felt like I was acting with a positive attitude, like 'I want to show my good side' and 'Let's do it.'"
After the shoot, Oguri praised him, saying, "It was really good," and he said, "I was very happy."
