The 69th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on January 8th, and viewers were drawn to the words and actions of Nishikori ( Ryo Yoshizawa Ryo) as he worried about the hostile relationship between Toki (Takaishi) and Heaven (Tommy Tommy Bastow ).
Heaven is overjoyed that her marriage to Toki has been approved by the Matsuno family. However, Heaven witnesses Sannojo(Rihito Itagaki) coming to see Toki. Heaven becomes increasingly frustrated with Toki, who keeps his relationship with Sannojo a secret.
Heaven asks, "Kakus... I see. What is this...?" but Toki doesn't answer, just bows his head and says, "I'm sorry..." Heaven tells Toki, "Let's talk when we get home," and heads off to school with Nishikori.
Worried about the tense atmosphere between the two, Nishikori tells Heaven that Sannojo is Toki's younger brother, and that Toki supports both the Matsuno and Ushimizu families with the 20 yen a month she earns as a maid at Heaven.
Heaven muttered, "I don't get it," and asked, "Why... can't you do it? Can't you do it?" Nishikori replied, "That's... called 'tatemae,'" explaining, "It's a Japanese culture of trying to build good relationships with others by hiding your true feelings."
He then followed up by saying, "Otoki, I want to get along with you. That's why I'm hiding something from you." "So... I'm sure he'll tell me someday. Please wait until then."
On social media, people were saying things like, "Good job for the behind-the-scenes support," "Nishikori-san, from interpreting to giving special lectures on Japanese culture and supporting the Matsuno family situation, you're a jack of all trades...Governor, please give him a special allowance...," "I want to give Nishikori-san a cash gift (20 yen)," "Nishikori-sensei is working so hard to support us, it's so brave..." and "I'm so glad Nishikori-san was there."
