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, with Inoue Yuki, who plays Matsudaira Sadanobu, making an appearance. The area is the site of the Shirakawa Domain, where Matsudaira Sadanobu once served as lord. Inoue said, "It was my first talk event since playing the role of Matsudaira Sadanobu, so I was nervous, but I was warmly welcomed and am truly glad I was able to come."
Furthermore, Inoue made a request to his "home town" fans gathered at the venue, saying, "Sadanobu is a man who is constantly fighting for the betterment of his country. The basic premise is that he is clumsy and troublesome, but he has an unwavering core of 'for the betterment of the country,' so I am trying to cherish that as I play the role. He is a character with strong personalities, but I hope you don't dislike him."
Filming is still ongoing, and he called on viewers to "pay attention to how Matsudaira Sadanobu's downfall is portrayed in ' UNBOUND ' and how he continues to play an active role after his downfall."
On this day, Kokoro Terada , who played Tayasu Masamaru , who later became Matsudaira Sadanobu, also appeared. He and Inoue talked about the highlights of the drama and behind-the-scenes stories.
" 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.
