The NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , has a preview of the 38th episode, "The Beginning of the Local Wholesaler's Business" (broadcast on October 5th), which has been released on the drama's official X (@berabou_nhk) and elsewhere, and a familiar face has appeared, delighting viewers.
" UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama and depicts the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have laid the foundations for Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, who is known for her work on the highly talked-about "Drama 10: Ooku," which aired on NHK two years ago.
In episode 38, Tsutaju (Yokohama) visits Utamaro and finds Kiyo in bed, ill...
Meanwhile, thanks to Tsuruya's (Shunsuke Kazama) arrangement, Tsutaju reunites with Masanori (Kyoden, Furukawa Yudai), with whom he had a falling out after an argument. Meanwhile, Sadanobu (Inoue Yuki) calls Heizo (Nakamura Hayato) and orders him to set up a labor camp, promising him a promotion.
Furthermore, Sadanobu did not let up on his reforms, taking a strict view of scholarship and thought, and imposing control over publication...and so on.
The preview showed Nishimuraya (Masahiko Nishimura) and Urokogataya (Kataoka Ainosuke) with the caption "We're fellow bookstore owners, right?" It had been a while since both had last appeared, and it was thought they had "left," leading to reactions on social media from viewers with comments like "Huh? I've seen those faces before," "Uroko's husband!!" and "Urokogataya is still alive!!" There were also voices of anticipation, with one saying, "Uroko's husband and Nishimuraya's husband! The original rivals will show up to help the main character in a pinch!!"
