The 52nd episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 am and others) was broadcast on June 10th. In the episode, Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura), who was to take the exam to become an army officer candidate, made a big mistake, which became a hot topic among viewers along with the narration by the station's announcer Risa Hayashida that was broadcast afterwards.
In episode 52, Takashi is recommended by his company commander to take the Army Officer Candidate Exam. Thanks to Yagi (Satoshi Tsumabuki), Takashi is exempt from all duties and labor. He is also given a study room, so he concentrates on studying. With the exam fast approaching, Yagi encourages Takashi, saying, "If you fail this time, the veteran soldiers will get revenge on you many times over," and "It's hell to turn back. You have no choice but to pass."
The night before the exam, Takashi volunteers to stay up all night at the stables to study. Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi) brings him Anpan and encourages him, saying, "Good luck on the exam tomorrow."
However, Taka falls asleep and is kicked awake by an officer who comes to check on him. "You can't take the exam today! You idiot!" he says angrily, leaving Taka flustered. The 52nd episode comes to a close with announcer Hayashida saying, "What are you going to do, Taka? Let's go!"
On social media, people were saying things like, "What's going to happen?", "Taka is seriously so clumsy," "It's a crossroads, but he messes up at the most crucial moment," and "I hope he can take the exam. Please."
Also, the appearance of Hayashida's "Hoitara ne!", which is often aired on Fridays, attracted attention, with comments such as "No, it's not 'Hoitara ne'!", "It's still Tuesday", and "I'm curious what the conditions for 'Hoitara ne' to be activated" being made.
