The seventh episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi as the heroine, aired on October 7th, and viewers responded to the sad gaze of Sannojo(Rihito Itagaki).
Sannojo is the third son of the Ushimizu family, relatives of Toki (Takaishi). Since his older brother will inherit the family business, he himself has no particular role to play. Since he has no place in the house, he spends all his time hanging out at Toki's workplace...that's his role.
In episode 7, Toki is anxious to get married quickly. At the factory, following Sen (Adachi Kino), Chiyo (Anna Kurasawa )'s marriage is also decided according to the love fortune-telling. Sannojo, the third Sannojo of the factory's president, Den ( Shinichi Tsutsumi ), is visiting the factory as usual and jokes, "If it's come to this, maybe I should just marry into Toki's family." When Toki asks, "We live in a poor tenement house, can you put up with it?", she laughs and says, "Sorry, it's impossible."
Just then, Den comes along and greets him, saying, "Good morning, Toki." He passes by Sannojo but doesn't pay him any attention, and instead asks Toki, "Are you free after work today?"Sannojo looks at Den with a sad gaze.
Toki is feeling down because she hasn't found a matchmaking partner, so Den invites her to "rendezvous with me" to cheer her up. When Toki asks what rendezvous is, Den explains, "In Japanese, it's 'aibiki'."Sannojo watches the two of them interact from afar...
Comments on social media included, "Sannojo keeps looking my way...", "Fu-sama, can't you see Sannojo?", "Den-sama, why are you ignoring Sannojo kun?", "I wonder why he seems so indifferent to Sannojo?", "In a story where you can't see him but he's there, Sannojo is treated as if he can be seen but isn't there...", "He's still treated like invisible and it's painful", and "His profile as he looks at his father is so sad."
