Actor Ryusei Yokohama stars in the NHK Taiga drama "UNBOUND (Berabou)" (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others). In the 17th episode "Ranresaki Orai no Sakura" that will be broadcast on May 4th, Mine Ryuta will appear as Kumanoya, a wealthy merchant from Shinano. Costume photos have also been released.
"UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama, depicting the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have built the foundations of Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, known for "Drama 10 'Ooku'" which was broadcast on NHK two years ago and became a big hit.
At the 17th event, Tsutaju (Yokohama) published 10 new books, including the Aohon, all at once, and Koshodo's recognition soared.
Meanwhile, Utsusemi (Karin Ono) and the runaway Shinnosuke (Kai Inowaki) reunite, and in the conversation, they notice a book called Oraimono, which is a book for children to learn to read and write. Meanwhile, Okitsugu(Ken Watanabe) enters the country with Miura (Taizo Harada) to inspect the completed Sagara Castle.
Seeing the thriving castle town, he gets an idea... and so the story unfolds.
