The 41st episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others) was broadcast on May 26th, and viewers were drawn to the painting that Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) created as his graduation project.
Takashi was engrossed in his graduation project, hoping to meet Nobu (Imada) and tell him how he felt when he finished it. But then he received a telegram informing him that Hiroshi (Yutaka Takenouchi) was in critical condition. Takashi muttered, "I can't go home yet," and "I can't face my uncle until I finish this," and instead of heading to Kochi, he continued working all night.
The painting that Takashi completed depicts the back view of a woman walking against the flow of the crowd in Ginza at night. The woman is wearing a white dress with red polka dots and is holding a red bag.
The woman's clothing is the same as that of the mannequin displayed in the Ginza window that Taku was staring at in episode 31 (broadcast on May 12), and it also resembles the outfit worn by Nobu in the main visual, leading to comments on social media such as, "Isn't that Nobu-chan's back view?", "Nobu is the only one walking in a different direction from everyone else", "You can see the depth of Taku's feelings for Nobu", "She wanted to see Nobu-chan walking freely through Ginza with a red bag", "The fact that she's facing backwards probably means that Taku's way of thinking is the opposite, which is kind of sad", and "It's very meaningful."
