The 110th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on August 29th, and viewers were drawn to the preview of the 23rd week, "We Are Powerless, But" (September 1st to 5th), which was released after the main program.
In episode 110, Nobu (Imada) and Taka ( Takumi Kitamura) move out and start living with Hatako (Noriko Eguchi). Meanwhile, Hatako answers the phone and accepts Taka's request to write a radio drama script. Taka adapts a short radio drama he had previously written, "The Gentle Lion," and rewrites the ending. The next day, "The Gentle Lion" plays on the radio, and Yagi (Satoshi Tsumabuki ), Tomiko (Nanako Matsushima), Chiyoko (Naho Toda), and Teshima Osamu (Gordon Maeda) are captivated by the story.
In the preview for next week, which was released after the main story ended, we see the wandering baker Sokichi Yamura(Sadao Abe), also known as "Yam-on-chan," apologizing, "I'm sorry." This will be Kusakichi's first appearance in seven weeks since episode 80 (aired July 17th) in the 16th week, when he showed up at the Asada family home for the first time in six years.
Next, Ranko says, "I'm not going to Yagi's company anymore," and the screen shows a melancholic Ranko and Yagi holding an umbrella and gazing at her. There was also a scene where the genius manga artist Teshima Osamu visited the Yanai family and told them, "I'm sure Takashi Yanai will create amazing works." The video was packed with content.
Comments on social media included, "I'm so happy that Yamu-chan is finally here," "Confirmed he's alive," "I can't wait to finally meet Yamu-chan!", "I'm overjoyed to see Yamu-san and Teshima-san in the preview," "The preview of Ranko and Yagi is heartbreaking even in just a few seconds," "I'm excited to see how things will progress," "I'm really curious to see how their romance will turn out," "The part with Ranko and Yagi is the only part that's shaky and has the intensity of a dramatic drama," and "I have a feeling next week's preview will be full of highlights."
