The preview for the 15th week of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others), starring Mio Imada , has been released, and the appearance of Toda Keiko, the voice actor of Anpanman in the popular anime "Soreike! Anpanman" (Nippon TV), is generating a lot of buzz.
" 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."
The subtitle of the 15th week is "Let's go! Tokyo" and it will start on July 7. The released trailer shows a scene where Toda's character, Maki Tetsuko, plays mahjong and shouts, "Tsumo! Oya double!"
Tetsuko is a congresswoman from Kochi whom Nobu (Imada) meets for the first time. She is a lively woman who moves ahead at a faster pace than Nobu, and has a strong belief in "reaching out to those in a weaker position." She will later have a major impact on Nobu's life.
On social media, people were excited about the "favorite," with comments like "Toda Keiko is in the preview," "Anpanman appears next week," "Toda Keiko is here," "The real Anpanman has arrived!" and "It's Anpanman playing mahjong," while Gundam fans were also singing along, saying things like, "I heard Matilda will be appearing next week," "Lieutenant Matilda," "Matilda!!" and "Matilda-saaaan."
