The NHK morning drama " Bakebake " (General Asadora , Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , will feature a student of Lefkada Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) in the sixth week, "Where, Where, Hell?", which begins on November 3rd.
In the sixth week, Heaven's first lesson takes place. With Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa Ryo) watching, Heaven engages with the middle school students in his own unique style. Meanwhile, Toki (Takaishi) is confronted by Zentaro (Maehara Mizuki), the son of debt collector Moriyama, who declares that he will collect the debt more aggressively than ever before.
Meanwhile, Heaven decides to leave Hanada Inn and start living on her own. Nishikori, under orders from the governor (Sano Shiro), begins searching for a maid to take care of Heaven.
Heaven's students are students at Matsue Junior High School, and will be played by Sugita Rairin, Yukito Hidaka, and Shimokawa Kyohei, who were selected from an audition that saw 287 people take part.
This will be Sugita's first appearance in a Asadora in five years since "Yell" (first half of 2020). He will play Nishikori Takeru, the younger brother of English teacher Nishikori Yuichi. He respects his older brother, who is said to be the most intelligent person in Matsue, and follows in his footsteps.
Following "Anpan" (first half of 2025), Hidaka will be appearing in two consecutive Asadora. He will play Masaki Seiichi, a brilliant athlete who is seen as the next "big shot" since Nishikori, and is expected to have a bright future.
Shimokawa's first appearance in a Asadora. He plays Haruo Kotani, a pure and honest young man, but he also has a tendency to be very opinionated.
"Bakebake" is the 113th morning Asadora. Based on the life of Lafcadio Yakumo Koizumi(Lafcadio Hearn) and his wife Setsu, the story follows the heroine, who loves ghost stories, as she lives her ordinary, everyday life with her foreign husband. The story is not based on an original novel, but is an original work by screenwriter Mitsuhiko Fujiki, who has worked on NHK's drama "Asagaya Sisters' Relaxed Life" and WOWOW's "Shooting Break Series."
