The NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " starring Akari Takaishi (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others) will look back on the 12th week, "Kaidan, Negaimasu." (December 15-19) on December 20th.
" Bakebake" is the 113th morning Asadora . Based on the story of Lafcadio Hearn Yakumo Koizumi and his wife Setsu, the story follows a couple, with a heroine who loves ghost stories, as they go about their everyday lives together with their foreign husband.
In week 12, Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) is suffering from sleep paralysis, and Toki (Takaishi) recommends that Heaven undergo an exorcism.
Instead of Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa), student Masaki (Yukito Hidaka) accompanies Heaven as her interpreter, and Toki also accompanies her. At Daiouji Temple, Heaven is told a ghost story by the head priest (Masato Ibu) and becomes completely captivated by it.
Eventually, Toki tells Heaven that he likes ghost stories. Heaven asks Toki to tell one, and he immediately tells her one. As Heaven looks on expectantly, Toki begins to tell the story of "The Futon from Tottori."
Heaven listens intently to Toki's ghost stories, told in Japanese. Heaven begs Toki to tell her the stories over and over again until she understands them, and Toki feels joy at finally being able to tell as many ghost stories as he likes. However, Nishikori tells him that the more ghost stories he tells, the sooner Heaven will have to leave Japan, which leaves Toki conflicted.
