Asadora"Bakebake" introduces Ushimizu Tae, a relative of the crested ibis

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 Ushimizu Tae, played by Keiko Kitagawa .

" 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 work, 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" by the male-female duo "Humbert Humbert."

Ushimizu is a relative of Toki. Born into one of the most prestigious families in Matsue, she grew up surrounded by many maids and had no hardships. She possesses both dignified elegance and strictness. She also rigorously teaches her relative Toki the culture of a samurai daughter, including etiquette and tea ceremony.

This will be Kitagawa's first appearance in a Asadora as she plays Tae.
