The 60th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others) was broadcast on June 20th, and viewers were drawn to the preview of the 13th episode, "Saraba Namida", which was released after the main story.
In episode 60, Nobu (Imada)'s face lights up when she receives a message from Jiro ( Ayumu Nakajima), but it's from the naval hospital. When Nobu enters the hospital room feeling anxious, she sees Jiro sitting on the bed with a smile on his face. The war situation becomes even more severe, and air raid sirens sound in the town of Kochi. Nobu rushes out into the crowd of people, and when she hears a child crying in the distance, she runs in the opposite direction to where everyone else is fleeing... and so the story unfolds.
In the preview for the next week, which was released after the main story ended, Nobu is seen running through the town, with the line, "The justice I believed in was wrong." A new character, Akira Tokairin (Kenjiro Tsuda), the chief editor of the Kochi Shimpo newspaper, tells Nobu, "I've been waiting for someone like you."
In the next scene, Jiro, who is in bed, smiles and says, "Let's talk about what's going to happen next." Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) and Kentaro Karashima(Fumiya Takahashi) return, and Meiko (Nanoka Hara) tearfully tells Kentaro, "I'm alive!" The trailer ends with Takashi telling Nobu, "You shouldn't believe in justice. Such things can be easily overturned."
On social media, various comments were posted, such as, "Tsudaken appears in next week's preview. I've been waiting for this!", "I'm glad that both Takashi and Take-chan are returning safely and I'm glad that Meiko still loves Take-chan lol", "Next week's preview looks like it's going to be a tough one too. But it's comforting to see Meiko and Take-chan reunited", "Next week's preview has a bright atmosphere, which is a bit of a relief", and "I was relieved when I saw the preview, but it looks like it's going to be tough in many ways from next week onwards when we find out how big a burden Nobu is carrying..."
