A podcast for the TV Asahi drama "Shiawase na Kekkon" (Thursdays at 9pm), which will begin airing in July, began streaming on April 3rd. This is a first for a TV Asahi drama, and will continue streaming until the end of the series, with the cast and staff sharing behind-the-scenes stories and private conversations. Episode "#0", which aired on the 3rd, featured the lead actor Sadao Abe and screenwriter Shizuka Oishi.
Right from the start, Oishi said, "Abe-san only says 'Thank you' and is cold (laughs)." Abe responded flustered, "That's not good! I'm trying to smile, but I can't smile unless I'm really having fun..." Furthermore, Oishi declared that in this production, "Anyway, I want to make the main character look great!", to which Abe replied with a wry smile, "Right now, I'm having a hard time laughing properly."
The program also featured Abe's memories of the day he auditioned for the theater company "Otona Keikaku," as well as an episode that changed Oishi's life as a screenwriter.
Currently available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, etc. Future distribution information will be announced on the program's official SNS.
