" Bakebake" is the 113th morning Asadora. Based on the story of Yakumo Koizumi(Lafcadio Hearn) and his wife Setsu, the story follows a couple, with a love of ghost stories, as they go about their everyday lives together with their foreign husband. Takaishi plays the main character, Toki Matsuno, while Tommy Bastow plays Toki's husband, Lefkada Heaven.
The story is not based on an original novel, but is an original work by screenwriter Fujiki Mitsuhiko, who has worked on NHK's drama "Asagaya Sisters' Laid-Back Life" and WOWOW's "Shooting Break Series."
In the fourth week, Den (Shinichi Tsutsumi) dies, the weaving factory goes bankrupt, and Toki (Takaishi) loses his job.
The Matsuno family is struggling to repay their debts, and talk of Toki becoming a prostitute resurfaces. Ginjiro (Kanichiro) tries to support his family by taking on more work to protect Toki, but ends up clashing with Kan'emon (Fumiyo Kohinata) and abandoning the Matsuno family. In the midst of despair, Toki learns of Ginjiro's whereabouts and sets off for Tokyo.
On her first visit to Tokyo, Toki arrives at Ginjiro's boarding house, where she meets Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa), a brilliant young man born in Matsue.
