The NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , will begin airing on September 29th. The story follows the heroine, who loves ghost stories, as she and her foreign husband go about their everyday lives. Here, we introduce Takaishi's character , Toki Matsuno.
Toki Matsuno is the main character (heroine) of "Bakebake." She is the only daughter of the Matsuno family and loves to listen to folk tales and old stories. Whenever she is feeling sad, she always asks her mother, Fumi, to tell her a ghost story. She is very family-oriented and loves the clam soup that Fumi makes. When she was a young girl, she is played by Miharu Fukuchi.
Takaishi, who plays Toki, is making his first appearance in a Asadora.
"Bakebake" is the 113th morning Asadora. The heroine, Toki Matsuno, and her husband, Lefkada Heaven, are based on Setsu Koizumi, the daughter of a fallen samurai from Matsue, and Yakumo Koizumi(also Lafcadio Hearn ). The drama boldly reconstructs the characters, changing some of the names of characters and organizations to create a fictional portrayal.
The story is not based on an original novel, but is an original work by screenwriter Fujiki Mitsuhiko, who has worked on NHK's drama "Asagaya Sisters' Relaxed Life" and WOWOW's "Shooting Break Series." The music will be composed by Kensuke Ushio, who has also worked on TV anime " Dandadan" and "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth (Chi: Chikyu no Undo ni Tsuite). " The theme song has been decided to be "Waratta Korondari" (Laughing and Falling) by the male-female duo Humbert Humbert.
