The fifth episode of NHK's evening drama "Kaedama Bravo!" (General TV, Monday to Thursday, 10:45 p.m.), starring actress Kana Kita, will be broadcast on January 12th.
The drama is an original work by playwright and director Ayuka Kishimoto, and is a slightly dark comedy for adults that combines friendship, ramen, and classical ballet. Kita will play the main character, Karina Senbon, who works at an advertising agency and loves ramen.
Amano Hana will play the role of ballet dancer Niki Yumi, Karina's best friend since they were six years old, and Komakine Akita, Nozoe Yoshihiro, and Kintaro will also appear.
In episode 5, Karina (Kita) happens to stop by the ramen restaurant Tameguchi and finds out that Yumi (Amano) is working there part-time.
The ramen made by the owner, Matilda (Nozoe), tastes quite strange, but she seems to have a nice personality. Karina desperately wants to know the reason for the breakup, so she ambushes Yumi and interrogates her, but she is left unsatisfied. Yumi was the one who gave her the idea to write a ramen blog, but Karina is shocked when she is asked to stop even writing the blog.
