The 58th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on December 17th. In the episode, Toki (Takaishi) tells a ghost story to Heaven ( Tommy Bastow), and viewers were drawn to the change in the relationship between the two.
Toki tells Heaven that he likes ghost stories. Heaven asks Toki to tell one, and he immediately tells one to her. Toki darkens the room, lights a candle, and begins to tell the story of "Tottori Futon" in Japanese.
Heaven didn't understand even half of the ghost story, but was delighted, saying it was "interesting." He asked Toki to tell him another ghost story, saying, "Pick me up!" After listening to the second story, Heaven commented, "Sad...very sad...But...I'm glad my brother and I were together forever." He continued to ask for more ghost stories, saying, "It's wonderful. Thank you. Yes...please give me another one."
Toki finds a "comrade" who understands the appeal of ghost stories, and feels the joy of being able to tell as many ghost stories as he likes. He skips home without even thinking. The next morning, having overslept, Toki hugs his futon and savors the joy of the previous night, exclaiming, "Ahh! Futon!"
Afterwards, Toki rushed to Heaven's house. Heaven bowed, saying, "Thank you for your kind words," and Toki replied with a smile, "Thank you very much." Heaven urged Toki, who was still standing at the entrance, to come inside, saying, "Please, please," and said, "This isn't your first time...because..." Toki responded, "I thought so," and Heaven replied in a good mood, "Yes, yes."
Comments on social media included, "It's a great atmosphere," "It feels like they've gotten really close," "The two of them are so cute with their happy, embarrassed, and innocent atmosphere," "They're both excited from the morning," "It's the beginning of a love that they're not even aware of yet," "I hope they stay together with Heaven!" and "I'm so excited!"
