"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.
In episode 24, Tsutaju (Yokohama-san) begins preparing to buy a shop in Nihonbashi with the support of the Yoshiwara bosses. However, the head of Maruya does not accept Tsutaju, a Yoshiwara man, and refuses to sell the shop.
Tsutaju asks Tosaku (Kimura Ryo) and Shigemasa (Jun Hashimoto) if there is any solution... Meanwhile, Daresode (Haruka Fukuhara Hio Miyazawa Hio) then connects Tosaku and Hirotoshi (Hyoroku) and tries to tempt them with a direct deal for amber.
The main broadcast of this episode on the general channel will start at 7:14 pm, 46 minutes earlier than usual, due to the early vote count for the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly election that was held on the same day.
