The 69th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on July 3rd. It was revealed that Kura ( Miyoko Asada) had once aspired to be in the silver screen, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 69th episode, Meiko (Nanoka Hara) runs away from home and boards a train to compete in "Nodo Jiman" in Tokyo. However, she becomes anxious on the way and gets off at Kochi Station. When she visits Nobu (Imada) at his house, she talks about her admiration for "Nodo Jiman" and says, "There's no point in talking about it. Everyone will laugh. The only one who doesn't laugh is Kurabaa."
Meanwhile, at the Asada household, Kura reveals that he has given Meiko money for her train fare to Tokyo, and says, "I was so jealous," and "That girl was my old love," and begins talking about the dreams he had when he was young.
"When I was young, I saw my first movie at a theater in Kochi. I had always wanted to be a movie star. It was my dream to go to a film studio in Kyoto. I just wanted to go to the other side of the silver screen."
Kamaji (Kotaro Yoshida) and Ranko (Yuumi Kawai) are surprised. Kura says, "I sometimes think about it. If I had jumped off the stage at Kiyomizu Temple and boarded the train to go to Kyoto, what would have happened? I wish Meiko had taken an adventure that she couldn't have planned."
On social media, people were saying things like, "I'm surprised to find out that Grandma Kura had aspired to be on the silver screen," "She gave Meiko a push," "I guess she's entrusting her dreams to her granddaughter," and "Grandma Kura hasn't had much of the spotlight until now, but now she's finally come out!"
