The 47th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on December 2nd, and viewers expressed concern over Sannojo(Rihito Itagaki) behavior.
In episode 47, Toki (Takaishi) practices shamisen under Tae (Keiko Kitagawa) and is praised for her improvement.
On the way home from practice, Toki meets up with Sannojo and hands him 10 yen, saying, "This is for this month." When Toki urges him to check the contents, Sannojo takes the money, saying, "There's no need for that," bows, and leaves, saying, "Thank you."
Toki followed him and found Sannojo stacking stones in the temple grounds. The head priest (Yuasa Takashi) explained, "He just keeps stacking stones. He can't find a job, so he's been working from morning till night lately." Toki was speechless when he saw Sannojo's state.
Many viewers were reminded of the Kawara Sai, a place where children who have died before their parents gather and pile stones, causing a stir with comments such as "It's like the Kawara Sai," and "He's not even looking for a job anymore, he's like the Kawara Sai." In addition to "Kai no Kawara" becoming a trending topic, comments such as "Sannojo! Get job hunting again," "Don't make us worry," and "He's becoming more and more like a monster" were also raised.
