"Big name" in next week's preview of Asadora"Anpan"

The 70th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others) was broadcast on July 4th, and viewers responded to the preview of the following week's episode, the 15th week, which was released after the main story.

" Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013) and Nobuyuki (1918-1993), the manga artist and picture book writer who created "Anpanman." It is a "story of love and courage" that will make you feel the joy of living, depicting how these two, who were once nobody, overcame all sorts of rough seas and arrived at "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."

In the 70th episode, Meiko (Nanoka Hara), who has come to live with Nobu (Imada), takes a step towards her dream. And Nobu also starts to work on publishing the monthly magazine in earnest. Two months later, the preparations for the first issue are in full swing, and Nobu is not only doing interviews and writing articles, but also selling advertisements.

One day, Kotoko (Yui Narumi) follows Nobu as she goes out to make a difficult advertising pitch... A few days later, Nobu is called in to help with a company entrance exam, where she sees a nervous-looking Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) at the exam venue.

The subtitle of the 15th week, which will start on July 7, is "Let's go! Tokyo." The preview also showed Keiko Toda, the voice actor of Anpanman in the popular anime series "Soreike! Anpanman" (Nippon TV).

The role she plays is Tetsuko Maki, a congresswoman from Kochi whom Nobu meets for the first time. She is a lively woman (a Tosa dialect word for a cheerful woman) who moves ahead at a faster pace than Nobu, and has a strong belief in "reaching out a helping hand to those in a weaker position." She will later have a major impact on Nobu's life.

The trailer includes a scene of Tetsuko playing mahjong, with a cheerful voice shouting, "Tsumo! Double the boss!"
