The NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM) 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 Nishikiori Yuichi, played by Ryo Yoshizawa.
Yuichi Nishikori is an English teacher and Matsue's most brilliant student. He is also known as "Daibanjaku" (Great Standing Stone). He teaches English at Matsue Junior High School and supports Heaven, who has come to Matsue as a foreign teacher. He also meets Toki through a strange connection and they become deeply involved.
Yoshizawa, who plays Nishikori Yuichi, will be appearing in a Asadora for the first time in six years since "Natsuzora" (first half of 2019), where he gained popularity as "Tenyo-kun."
"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 Lafcadio Hearn(Yakumo Koizumi ). 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.
