The 47th episode of the NHK Taiga drama "Dear Radiance (Hikaru Kimi e)" (General TV, Sunday 8:00 pm and others), starring Yuriko Yoshitaka, titled "Kanashikutomo (Even if It's Sad)," will be broadcast on December 8th. Mahiro (Yoshitaka) and his friends get caught up in a battle with foreign pirates, and Shumei (Matsushita Kohei) falls in an enemy attack...
Meanwhile, the damage caused by the attack is reported to the Imperial Court, and as unrest spreads, Regent Yorimichi (played by Keisuke Watanabe) takes no action and stops reporting to Taiko Michinaga (played by Tasuku Emoto). Sanesuke (played by Ryuji Akiyama), who is frustrated by this situation, receives a letter from Takaie (played by Ryo Ryusei), who is in charge of the fight against the pirates.
As Michinaga learns of the threat posed by the foreign land, he becomes concerned about Mahiro's safety...
There are two episodes left of the drama, including this one. The preview also shows Michinaga muttering, "Stay alive," and Noriko (Kuroki Haru) asking, "Did you think I didn't notice?"
"Dear Radiance" is the 63rd taiga drama. Set in the aristocratic society of the mid-Heian period, the protagonist is Murasaki Shikibu (Mahiro), who later wrote "The Tale of Genji," said to be the world's oldest novel written by a woman. The script was written by Oishi Shizuka, who is writing a taiga drama for the second time since "Koumyou ga Tsuji" in 2006, and depicts the glittering world of the Heian aristocracy and the life of a woman who lived, wrote, and loved with all her heart.
