The 102nd episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on August 19th, and viewers had a variety of reactions to Tomiko ( Nanako Matsushima ) bragging about Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura ).
In episode 102, Nobu (Imada), who has been fired from his job, visits Tomiko, who encourages him by telling him not to be so depressed.
Tomiko says she has started a tea ceremony class, and two of her students arrive. One of the students praises the lyrics of "Te Te no Hira wo Taiyou ni," a song written by Takashi, saying, "My grandchildren love that song too." Tomiko happily replies, "Takashi's father was passionate about literature, so it seems I inherited that blood."
Tomiko also mentioned that Taka writes the lettering on the wrapping paper for Samsung Department Store, proudly saying, "My son wrote the lettering on that wrapping paper." When her apprentice expressed admiration, saying, "To think that your eldest son has such talents in addition to songwriting, he's a very talented man," Tomiko smiled and said, "As a child, I always drew pictures and was a dreamy child. I think it's best for a person to follow the path they love."
When Nobu told Taka about Tomiko's condition, Taka spit out the tea he was drinking and said with a wry smile, "You're right. I wonder if you've forgotten how I urged you to become a doctor." Nobu commented, "I've never seen my mother-in-law smile so brightly," and "She was so full of life."
Various comments were posted on social media, such as "I feel like Tomiko has finally started to look like a mother," "Tomiko can't help but want to brag about her son's achievements lol," "She's so proud lol, Tomiko is a lovable person," "I'm starting to find Tomiko adorable as she forgets what she said and brags about her son," "That's so Tomiko," "I laughed at how she changed her mind," and "How dare you say that, Tomiko lol, no wonder you spit out your tea lol."
