The 39th episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , titled "Unable to Live in the Pure Land of Shirakawa, Half My Life", was broadcast on October 12th, and viewers reacted to a character who appeared in the preview for the next episode after the main story ended.
" 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.
The subtitle of the next, 40th episode is "The never-ending fountain of desire" and will be broadcast on October 19th.
Tsutaju (Yokohama), who was sentenced to half his salary, resumes his business and visits Kyoden (Masayoshi, Furukawa Yudai) to ask him to write a book, whereupon his wife Kiku (Futo Nozomi) asks him to take care of Takizawa Sokichi (Sakichi, Kenjiro Tsuda).
Tsutaju is kept in the store as an assistant, but Sokichi gets into a fight with Katsukawa Shunro (Tomoya Maeno!), an apprentice brought in by Katsukawa Shunsho (Maeno Tomoya)...and so the story unfolds.
The preview features both Shunro, played by Kukkie, and Sokichi, played by Tsuda. As Shunro would later become Katsushika Hokusai and Sokichi would later become Kyokutei Bakin, viewers have already been excited on social media, with comments such as "Oh, Kukkie?", "Hmm, Bakin and Hokusai?", "I caught a glimpse of Tsuda as Sokichi!", "Oh, finally Hokusai!", "Hokusai and Bakin will be appearing next week, Tsuda-ken!!!", "Kyokutei Bakin", and "The new cast is amazing again next week!"
