The 47th episode of the NHK Taiga drama "Dear Radiance (Hikaru Kimi e)" (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring Yuriko Yoshitaka, "Kanashikutomo (Sadly but)", was broadcast on December 8th, and the average viewership rating (according to Video Research, Kanto region, same below) was 10.0% for households and 6.0% for individuals. The drama will have its final episode next week on December 15th.
In the 47th episode, Rinko (Kuroki Haru) is shown asking Mahiro (Yoshitaka) "How long have you and your lord (Michinaga) been together?" which caught the attention of viewers.
Mahiro and his friends get caught up in a battle with foreign pirates, and Shumei (Matsushita Kohei) falls in the enemy's attack.
After losing Shuming, Mahiro even thought, "I wish I had died at the same time as Shuming," but with the desperate persuasion of Otomaru (Yabe Taro), she returned to the capital and was reunited with Michinaga.
At that moment, someone called out, "Fuji Shikibu, the Lady from the North (Rinko) is calling for you," and Mahiro went to meet Rinko.
"Now, I remember the day you first came to this mansion. You were smarter than anyone, and you removed all the eccentricities by yourself. Hehehehe..." Rinko began the conversation in a friendly manner, reminiscing about the old days, but her next words were, "So... how long have you and your lord been together?" She continued with a smile, "Did you think I didn't notice?" and the episode ended with that.
