The 43rd episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. and others) was broadcast on May 28. In the episode, Nobu Asada(Imada) and Jiro Wakamatsu(Ayumu Nakajima) got married, and the subtitles behind the title announced that from today, Nobu's full name had been changed to "Wakamatsu Nobu", which became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 43, Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) returns to Tokyo without confessing his feelings to Nobu. On his way back, Takashi passes by the Asada family home, and Jiro comes to tell him the date of the wedding. When Takashi finds out that Nobu is getting married for the first time, he gives him a fake smile and says, "Nobu-chan...I wish you happiness."
Afterwards, Nobu and Jiro had a wedding ceremony at the Asada house. The married couple started a new life in the town of Kochi. However, Jiro was soon to leave on a voyage, so the time they could be together was limited. Nobu sent Jiro off with a smile, thinking of him far away.
In the opening credits of the episode, Nobu's surname was changed to "Wakamatsu." Viewers responded with comments such as, "Obviously, since she's married, her surname is Wakamatsu," "It's already Wakamatsu Nobu in the opening!", "Nobu looks so happy marrying Jiro Wakamatsu," "They suit each other so well, it made me smile," "Nobu-chan looked beautiful as a bride," and "Don't worry, Takashi."
