Introducing Toki's childhood friend, Sawa Nozu, from the Asadora"Bakebake "

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 Sawa Nozu, played by Wan Marui .

" 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."

Sawa Nozu is Toki's childhood friend. She is the daughter of a former low-ranking samurai. Born into a poor family, she aspires to become a teacher in order to achieve a stable life, carrying the expectations of her family who dream of one day living a comfortable life. She is Toki's one and only best friend, and she accepts him for who he is.

This will be Marui, who plays Sawa, appearing in a Asadora for the first time in a year since "The Tiger and Her Wings" (first half of 2024).
