The 92nd episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on August 5th, and the scene in which Meiko ( Nanoka Hara) receives singing lessons from Takuya Ise(Motoki Omori) became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 92, Ranko (Yuumi Kawai) and Meiko move to Tokyo from Kochi, and Meiko immediately starts working at a cafe. A few days later, Nobu (Imada) is waiting for Taka (Takumi Kitamura) at the cafe where Meiko works, when Taka shows up with Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi). Kentaro, who works as a director at NHK, saw Taka's manga in a magazine and came to see him at the Samsung Department Store.
When Meiko comes to take an order, she is shocked to unexpectedly come face to face with Kentaro, the man she has had a crush on for many years. When Taka tells Kentaro that "Meiko's dream is to appear on 'Amateur Singing Contest,'" Kentaro encourages Meiko, saying, "There's a qualifying round coming up, why don't you try?"
Takuya, who was listening to the exchange from his seat at the counter, called out to Meiko, "Hey, sis... do you want to practice with me? You want to compete in the preliminary round of 'Nodo Jiman,' right?"
After closing, Takuya played the piano and Meiko sang "Tokyo Boogie Woogie." Takuya gave her advice, saying, "If you get into the rhythm a little more and put in a bit more effort into your stomach, you'll have a better voice." Influenced by his parents, Takuya loves music and acting, and said, "You only live once, so you have to do everything you want to do..."
Takuya had seen through Meiko's feelings for Kentaro, and when the manager asked her why she wanted to appear on "Nodo Jiman," he spoke on her behalf, saying, "The person I like told me about the qualifying round. So I really want to pass, right?" He added, "If I pass, I'll tell him how I feel inside...or something like that," to which Meiko replied, "Huh..." confused.
Comments on social media included, "What an exciting development," "Wow! Meiko is singing 'Tokyo Boogie-Woogie'!! Suzuko!", "It's an homage to 'Boogie-Woogie'!" and "Mrs. Omori's voice training is so extravagant."
