The NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada , will enter its final week (26th week) titled "Only Love and Courage are Friends" on September 22nd. The synopsis and scene cuts have been released.
◇The following contains spoilers
" 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 final week, one day, TV producer Takeyama Keizo (Maehara Akira) comes to see Nobu (Mio Imada) and Taka (Takumi Kitamura).
He said he wanted to turn Anpanman into a TV anime. At first, Takashi refused, but with Takeyama's unyielding enthusiasm and encouragement from Nobu, he decided to accept, and he also ended up writing the lyrics for the theme song. What was the feeling behind the lyrics?
And with the anime adaptation, the names of Anpanman and Yanai Takashi began to spread throughout Japan...and so the story goes.
