The 120th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada, was broadcast on September 12th, and viewers were drawn to the preview of the final week (26th week), "Only Love and Courage are Friends" (September 22nd to 26th), which was released after the main program.
In the 125th episode, the audience for the musical "Anpanman: The Mysterious Hero" is filled with many children, and Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) breathes a sigh of relief. After the show, Ranko (Yuumi Kawai) appears, accompanied by "Yam-on-chan" Kusakichi (Sadao Abe). Takashi and Kusakichi are reunited after a long time... and so the story unfolds.
The preview for next week begins with Nobu (played by Imada) telling someone, "You love Anpanman." Scenes of Nobu being hospitalized and actor Renji Ishibashi appearing in what appears to be a camera shop are also shown.
The veteran actor suddenly appeared in the final week, and people on social media responded with comments such as, "I thought it was a new character in the preview, but it's a veteran," "A super veteran appears at the very end!", "Ishibashi Renji, at this point, with only one week left?", "That's a luxurious cast," "I never thought they'd add a new actor in the final week," and "I wonder what role he'll play? I can't wait!"
