The 59th 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 18th. In the episode, Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) begs to hear Toki's (Takaishi) ghost story again, and calls Toki "Otokishisho," which became a hot topic.
In episode 59, the next morning after Toki tells Heaven the ghost story "The Futon in Tottori," both of them still seem to want to talk and listen. Heaven even jokingly says she'll skip school. They make a promise to tell ghost stories tonight, and then they each get to work.
At the junior high school, Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa Ryo) heard from Masaki (Yukito Hidaka) that Heaven is interested in ghost stories. Nishikori thought about asking Toki for help, but realized that it would hasten Heaven's return home...
At night, the two face each other, and Toki recites a ghost story called "The Story of Abandoning a Child." It tells the story of a parent who has abandoned their children many times, and the child they raise for the first time begins to talk as if they knew everything that had happened. Toki tells Heaven, "No matter how many times you abandon me... this child was born to the same parents. This child's feelings for his parents... are strong. Knowing this, these parents will raise this child with care."
When Toki said, "I hope that by knowing the other person's feelings... something good will happen," Heaven replied with deep gratitude, "It's not a silly thing. I'm good. Shijimi's thoughts and words are wonderful. Thank you for the introduction!" She then implored him, "Please, please stop, I wish you well!" and urged him, "Hurry up! Make an effort!"
The way he is called "Otokishisho" has caused a stir on social media, with comments such as "Shijimisan has been promoted to Otokishisho," "It's not Shijimisan. Well said, Heaven Sensei," "Master is Japanese so do you know him, Heaven lol," and "Master Otoki! He entertains me every day."
Takaishi also commented on his own X, "I'm so happy that 'Child Abandonment Story' is trending. I'm happy that Toki's story will be an opportunity for not only Heaven but also the viewers to learn about ghost stories... I'm so happy!! Otokushi Show has also been a part of it. The way Heaven is referred to has changed in an unexpected direction."
