The 23rd episode of the NHK Asadora"Bakebake " (Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi as the heroine, was broadcast on October 29th. The opening scene of the episode, which depicted the beautiful Japanese scenery that Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) sees, became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 23, the night dawns after Heaven arrives in Matsue. Awakened by the sound of rice being pounded, Heaven is moved by the fantastic morning scenery that greets her in Matsue, the "capital of the land of the gods" that she has always dreamed of.
Still in her yukata, Heaven leaves the inn and sees the beautiful cityscape, hears the voices of people selling vegetables, and the sound of tinsel ringing in the distance. "As bells ring out in the distance, people face the direction of the sun and the shrine, clap their hands, and offer prayers to the gods. All of this feels mysterious and fresh," she murmurs to herself, "This is exactly where I wanted to come with you... this is the capital of the land of the gods," and appears to be completely captivated by the beauty of Matsue.
Comments on social media included, "It starts off like a scene from a movie," "Ahh... what a beautiful opening," "It has the feel of a high-quality short film," "The sound and visuals are beautiful," and "Heaven Sensei's travels around Japan begin with Japanese sounds I've never heard before. ... It gave me goosebumps. Amazing."
