The 24th episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , "Getojinaki wa Nihonbashi", was broadcast on June 22nd, with Niina Motohiro appearing in the role of the "husband".
" UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama and depicts the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have laid the foundations for Japan's media industry and pop culture.
In episode 24, Tsutaju (Yokohama) begins preparing to buy a shop in Nihonbashi with the support of the Yoshiwara bosses. However, Maruya's boss (AI Hashimoto) does not accept Tsutaju, a Yoshiwara brothel owner, and refuses to sell the shop.
Tsutaju asks Tosaku (Kimura Ryo) and Shigemasa (Jun Hashimoto) if there is any solution. Meanwhile, Daresode (Haruka Fukuhara) has not been able to find any evidence of the smuggling. Ichi (Hio Miyazawa) then connects Tosaku and Hirotoshi (Hyoroku) and invites them with a direct deal for amber...
Niina is an actor who gained attention for playing the role of "Sora-san", also known as Sorayama Itsuki, in the NHK Asadora drama "Maiagare!" in the second half of 2022, in which Fukuhara starred as Daresode. He also appeared in the 2022 Taiga drama "The 13 Lords of the Shogun" and the 2023 drama 10 "Ooku".
The husband she plays in this production of "UNBOUND" is her ex-husband, who enthusiastically pursued the spinster Teitei and married her, but within three months he began frequenting Yoshiwara and squandered all the money from the club.
On social media, viewers who noticed the scene left comments such as, "Sora-san (Niina Motohiro)?" "Niina Motohiro-san is appearing!!!" "Isn't that Toukurou's son!!!!" "He's the senior from Oiran (Maiagare)", "Sora-san is the worst, for real", and "Sora-san, did you do that?"
