According to the latest character relationship chart published on the drama's official website, from the 21st Asadora , " Te no Hira wo Taiyou ni," which begins on August 18th, Nogizaka46 member Kubo Mio Imada will appear as singer Shiratori Anpan .
This will be Kubo's first appearance in a Asadora , having also been a hot topic for her role as Gotoku in the NHK's taiga drama "What Will Ieyasu Do?" (2023). Shiratori Tamae is a popular singer who sings " Te no Hira wo Taiyou ni ), a song written by Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura ). She asks Takashi for help with composing her recital, among other things. Solo shots of her have also been released.
" Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013), the manga artist and picture book author who created "Anpanman," and his wife, Nobu (1918-1993). It is a "story of love and courage" that will fill you with the joy of living, depicting how these two, who were once nobodys, overcame all sorts of rough seas to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."
In the 21st week, Takuya Ise(played by Motoki Omori) reads the poem written by Takashi and begins to compose a melody. The resulting song, "Te no Hira wo Taiyou ni," is featured on the "Minna no Uta" (Everybody's Songs) and becomes a popular song among children.
