The 93rd episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , aired on August 6th, and the relationship between Meiko ( Nanoka Hara) and Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi) made a sudden development. Viewers were also curious about the future of Ranko (Yuumi Kawai), the only single sister of the Asada family.
In the 93rd episode, Meiko takes part in the preliminary round of "Amateur Singing Contest." She starts off singing "Tokyo Boogie Woogie" smoothly, but when she notices Kentaro entering the venue, she stops singing and ends up failing the competition.
When Meiko returns home, she reports to Nobu (Imada), Takashi (Takumi Kitamura), and Ranko that her voice cracked at the crucial moment. Then, Kentaro, who had been invited to the after-party, shows up and encourages her, saying, "Next time, I'll be there to cheer you on properly from the beginning." However, Meiko responds, "As long as Kentaro cheers for us, we'll keep failing," to which Kentaro shakes his head, saying, "Meiko hates me so much. What did I do?"
Ranko then encourages Meiko, saying, "How long do you intend to keep your feelings a secret?" Meiko tearfully confesses, "Kentaro, I've always...always liked you. Even now...I still love you. When I meet you, my heart brightens. You're as bright as the sun." Kentaro also reveals that he moved to Tokyo and joined NHK because Meiko said she liked Nodo Jiman, and he accepted Meiko's feelings. Six months later, the two were happily married.
With Nobu and Meiko now married, Ranko, the second sister, is the only one still single. Even after losing her fiancee, Go (Kanata Hosoda), she remained faithful to him. In the 90th episode (broadcast on August 1st), she said, "I fell in love with Go-chan for the rest of my life. He is my emotional support," bringing tears to the eyes of viewers.
On social media, comments such as "Today's MVP is Ranko. The Cupid of love," "Ranko gave Meiko a push, following Takashi," "The words that gave Ranko a push were gentle but had great force," "I hope Ranko will be happy next," and "I hope Ranko meets someone good," as well as "Ranko is still hung up on Go-chan, but somehow I feel like she'll get along with Yagi-san..." "I predict Ranko will end up with Yagi-san...or rather I wish lol," and "I also hope Ranko will surprise Go-chan with happiness" were posted, along with other predictions about the outcome of Ranko's love life.
