The 82nd 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 22nd, and a line spoken by the Diet member Maki Tetsuko (Toda Keiko) became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 82nd episode, Nobu (Imada) comes to Tokyo and immediately visits Tetsuko's office. As soon as Nobu enters the room, Tetsuko slams the phone down and expresses her irritation, saying, "Really, Diet members say stuff like, 'I'm doing it for the people' during the election, but once they're elected, they only act for themselves!"
Tetsuko asked Nobu, "Thank you for your long journey. Can you start working right away?" She then said, "In that case, let's go," and took the stunned Nobu with her and headed off to give her speech.
As it was right after the House of Councillors election, many viewers responded to Tetsuko's words. On social media, comments included, "What a sarcastic thing to say right after the House of Councillors election," "Maki Tetsuko-sensei, are you talking about Japan today? (wry smile)," "How dare you bring this up after the House of Councillors election," "It's probably a coincidence, but it's too timely," and "Maki Tetsuko-sensei is still saying the truth as usual, it woke me up this morning."
