A talk show for the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , was held in Shirakawa City, Fukushima Prefecture on October 19th, featuring Inoue Yuki, who plays Matsudaira Sadanobu, and Terada Kokoro Terada , who plays Tayasu Masamaru , the "future Matsudaira Sadanobu." The area is the former location of the Shirakawa Domain, where Matsudaira Sadanobu served as lord. Inoue and Terada shared highlights of the drama and behind-the-scenes stories.
In the middle of the talk show, a surprise message was delivered by screenwriter Yoshiko Yoshiko Morishita. Morishita praised Inoue and Terada, saying, "Terada-san expressed the raw Sadanobu when he was Kenmaru, his original purity and fiery temperament. Inoue-san has taken that to heart and meticulously portrayed Sadanobu as a politician who has become tough and perfectionist. I would like to express my gratitude and applause to these two young actors who acted so boldly while surrounded by such great actors!"
The audience erupted in loud applause, and Inoue said, "There is a lot of detailed acting, so I am working very hard. I am fighting in my own way so as not to lose to the other actors, so I was really moved by Morishita's comments." Terada said, "I did my best to portray the intensity of a person who won't compromise on his beliefs, so I'm glad to hear you say that."
"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.
