The fourth episode of NHK's "Drama 10: Shiba no Okite - We Are Dog-Loving Editorial Department" (General TV, Tuesdays at 10 PM), starring actors Daito Shunsuke and Iitoyo Marie, titled "Shiba Is the Binding Stone of the Family," will air on October 21st. Shiba Senryu poems have earned "Shiba ONE" high praise within the company. Sagara (Daito) comes up with the idea of a serial challenge project, and gives Fukusuke (voiced by Emoto Tokio) a new challenge. However, Fukusuke's excessive shooting results in a NG...
The drama is based on the non-fiction book "Heisei Dog-crazy Editorial Department" by Yuka Katano. Set in the Shiba Inu magazine "Shiba One," the drama is a human story that gently unravels the tangled hearts of people. Daito plays Shunichi Sagara, the editor-in-chief of the Shiba Inu magazine, and Iitoyo plays Reika Ishimori, an editor who is somehow at odds with Sagara.
In the fourth episode, Sagara, who was cornered by manuscript problems, came up with a plan for "Shiba Senryu" and it turned out to be a huge hit. As a result of "Shiba Senryu," the "Shiba ONE" editorial department, which had been treated as a "burden" and a "sinking ship" within the company, began to be featured on television and began to be respected.
Sagara gets carried away and comes up with the idea of serializing a "challenge project," planning to have Fukusuke take on new challenges and make him a star. However, when Fukusuke goes too far with his filming, he is NG... and things start to unfold.
