Asadora"Bakebake" introduces Toki and his working factory girl, Chiyo

The NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM) starring Akari Takaishi will begin airing on September 29th. The story follows the heroine, who loves ghost stories, as she and her foreign husband go about their everyday lives. Here, we introduce Chiyo, played by Anna Kurasawa.

"Bakebake" is the 113th morning Asadora. The heroine, Toki Matsuno, and her husband, Lefkada Heaven, are based on Setsu Koizumi, the daughter of a fallen samurai from Matsue, and Lafcadio Hearn(Yakumo Koizumi ). The drama boldly reconstructs the characters, changing some of the names of characters and organizations to create a fictional portrayal.

The story is not based on an original work, but is an original work by screenwriter Fujiki Mitsuhiko, who has worked on NHK's drama "Asagaya Sisters' Relaxed Life" and WOWOW's "Shooting Break Series." The music will be composed by Kensuke Ushio, who has also worked on TV anime " Dandadan" and "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth (Chi: Chikyu no Undo ni Tsuite). " The theme song has been decided to be "Waratta Korondari" by the male-female duo "Humbert Humbert."

Chiyo is a fellow factory girl who works at the Ushimizu family textile factory alongside Toki. She is a kind and reliable girl. She is a straightforward and cheerful girl, but because of this, she sometimes says what she thinks honestly.

Kurazawa, who plays Chiyo, made waves with her excellent performance as Fujiwara Kenko in the same network's historical drama "To Dear Radiance (Hikaru Kimi e) " (2024). This will be her first appearance in an Asadora in " Bakebake ."
