The 81st episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on July 21st. In the episode, the words spoken by editor-in-chief Tokairin ( Kenjiro Tsuda) to Nobu (Imada) as she moves to Tokyo became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 81, the day arrives when Nobu, who has decided to move to Tokyo to help the Diet member Maki Tetsuko (Toda Keiko), leaves the Kochi Shimpo. Tokairin sees Nobu and says, "Oh, you're still here," and harshly says, "You quit your job and went to Tokyo because you were poached by a Diet member? You're an English person! We hired you, a former teacher, and taught you how to make a magazine from scratch, so how have you given back to the company at all?" and "You're still only a half-baked person! Someone like you won't make it anywhere!"
Taka (Takumi Kitamura), who had been watching what was going on, interrupts the conversation, saying, "Let's at least give him a good send-off," but Nobu bows his head and says, "No, what the editor-in-chief says is right. I'm truly sorry."
Tokairin encouraged Nobu by saying, "Hey, this is the world. The world is scary. People are jealous and envious and say all sorts of things. There are people who try to crush your ambition. Don't ever give in to people like that. Don't give in." Nobu shed tears and expressed his gratitude by saying, "Yes! Thank you so much, Editor-in-Chief."
On social media, people were saying things like, "I was moved to tears by his stern but heartfelt encouragement," "The best boss," "I was moved to tears by Editor-in-Chief Tokairin's loving words," "Editor-in-Chief Tokairin is so kind," and "He deliberately pushed me away, deliberately spoke harsh words, taught me the reality, and then in the end said, 'Don't give up...''
