The 81st episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada was broadcast on July 21st. The scene in which Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) tries to give a red handbag to Nobu (Imada) became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 81, Nobu decides to move to Tokyo and leaves the Kochi Shimpo, telling Taka, who says he wants to go to Tokyo someday, that he will go ahead and wait for him.
After Nobu's farewell party, Kotoko (Yui Narumi) asks Taka, "Should I just keep telling you how I feel?" Iwashimizu (Yuki Kura) continues, "(Taka likes Nobu), right? If Yanai likes her, then as a member of the Kochi Shimpo... or rather, everyone in Kochi knows that. Isn't Nobu the model for this cover and Miss Kochi?" Taka stood up and headed to his house in Gomenyocho.
Meanwhile, Hatako (Noriko Eguchi) and Ranko (Yuumi Kawai) visit the Wakamatsu family. Ranko is going to live with Meiko (Nanoka Hara), and Hatako gives Yutaro's (Ryo Kase) keepsake hat to Nobu as a good luck charm.
The next morning, Taka runs to the Wakamatsu house, carrying the red handbag that Nobu had refused to accept. Hatako greets him at the entrance, and when the sweaty Taka presents the handbag to her, she is impressed and says, "No way. It's a really pretty bag." When Taka says, "I wanted you to have it...", Hatako is thrilled and says, "Thank you," but Taka takes the bag back from Hatako and asks, "What about Nobu?" Hatako says with a wry smile, "My heart was beating so fast because I thought you were expecting it," to which Ranko immediately retorts, "Mom, that's not possible."
When Taku finds out that Nobu has already left home, he is extremely disappointed and once again is unable to give her the handbag.
On social media, comments included, "Don't worry about it, Taku-kun...", "Ah, I couldn't give him the red bag. It's because I was taking so long", "We missed each other again! How frustrating lol", "I hope I can give it to him someday and he accepts it!", "Hata-san was genuinely happy with the bag", and "It was good to see Hatako excited lol."
