The 65th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada was broadcast on June 27th, in which Nobu (Imada) passed the employment exam for the Kochi Shimpo newspaper, attracting the attention of viewers.
In the 65th episode, Nobu comes to Kochi Shimpo relying on the business card of Tokairin ( Kenjiro Tsuda) that was given to him at the black market. However, Tokairin seems to have no memory of it at all. As Nobu is about to give up and go home, Tokairin suggests that she take the company entrance exam.
A few days later, after the written and practical exams, Nobu was interviewed. It was pointed out that she had once been featured in an article as a "mirror of patriotism," and she was questioned about whether her ideology hadn't changed that much. Nobu denied that she had been marked as a militarist by the occupying forces, and honestly explained why she quit teaching. She explained that the world had changed drastically, and her own values had also been turned upside down. "The justice I believed in was wrong. So this time, I want to make sure I don't make the same mistake again, and not be swayed by those around me, but see for myself, think with my own head, and grab something solid that won't be changed."
The interviewers try to reject Nobu, saying that no matter how nice things are said, the past cannot be wiped away. However, Tokairin says, "You could say she is a representative of women today," "We are all just as devastated as she is, and we are all living with the same feelings as she is!" and "I'll take responsibility," and chases after Nobu. Tokairin tells Nobu, "We're short-staffed at the editorial department, and we could use all the help we can get. I'm hiring you as a last resort."
Nobu was so moved that he said "It's impossible!" five times in a row. He ran out with a smile on his face and passed in front of Taka (Takumi Kitamura) and Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi).
On social media, comments included, "Hachikin Onobu is back!", "Congratulations Nobu-chan!!", "It's good to hear 'Tamarakaa' again after so long", "Nobu's smile is dazzling after returning after such a long time", "Things are starting to move forward!" and "It's exciting and looks like it's going to be fun."
