The 41st episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on November 24th, and viewers raised questions about the "uguisu" (Japanese bush warbler) that Rio ( Kana Kita), the daughter of the Shimane Prefecture governor, gave to Heaven (Tommy Bastow), asking, "Is that really a bush warbler?"
In episode 41, Heaven (Tommy Bastow) and Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa) are accompanied by the Governor (Ryo Yoshizawa) to Gesshoji Temple. The Governor's daughter, Rio, arrives late. Rio, who studied English at a girls' school in Tokyo, actively communicates with Heaven, leaving Nishikori and the Governor out of the loop. Rio seems captivated by the gentlemanly Heaven, who casually holds out his hand to her.
A few days later, Riyo visits Toki (Takaishi), who is working hard as a maid. Riyo brings a Japanese-style "uguisu" (Japanese bush warbler) as a gift for Heaven, who loves Japan. Riyo reveals to Toki that she has a crush on Heaven and asks for her help in making their relationship work.
When Heaven returns home, she shows interest in the Japanese bush warbler, imitating its song, "Hohokecho," but the Japanese bush warbler makes no sound. Heaven calls out to it, "Go for it! Go for it!" but there is no response, and she mutters, "That's mean."
Regarding this "uguisu" (Japanese bush warbler), many people on social media have commented, "Is it really a bush warbler?" and "It's not, right?" As it resembles the Japanese white-eye, which is often mistaken for a bush warbler, people have commented, "It looked like a Japanese white-eye, not a bush warbler," "I thought the color was different," "No matter how you look at it, it's a Japanese white-eye, not a bush warbler, so is this a hint?" "There seems to be something," "Will they notice it at some point?" and "I wonder if Heaven-sensei will use the example that the bush warbler doesn't sing at all lol."
