The NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others) will broadcast its 24th week, "The Birth of Anpanman." In the 117th episode on September Getsuku...
"Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013) and Nobu (1918-1993), the manga artist and picture book writer who created "Anpanman." It is a "story of love and courage" that will make you feel the joy of living welling up from your whole body, depicting how these two, who were once nobodys, overcame all sorts of rough seas to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."
In episode 117, the movie "The Thousand and One Nights" becomes a huge hit. Teshima (played by Gordon Maeda) makes a proposal to Takashi (played by Takumi Kitamura) as a token of appreciation for the success.
Meanwhile, an editor comes to visit and asks him to write his next work. She says anything is welcome, so Nobu (Imada) hands her a copy of "Anpanman" and urges her to at least read it to the end... Scene cuts have also been released.
