The 19th episode of NHK's night drama "Kaedama Bravo!" (General TV, Monday to Thursday, 10:45 PM), starring actress Kita Kana, aired on February 4th, and the theme songs by "Tsuratsu P" and "Oko P" that were played during the drama have become a hot topic among viewers, with some saying they "can't get them out of their heads." The drama will air its final episode on the 5th.
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 19, Karina (Kita) returns from Sapporo and discovers an unexpected side to her boss, Matano (Yoshizawa Yu).
There was a reason why Matano recommended leaving work on time. Meanwhile, Yumi (Amano) was at a stage where she had to clarify her relationship with Manabu (Aoi Yo). After an argument about Manabu, Yumi and her junior colleague Nagisa (Oya Seina) were involved in an unexpected accident. Yumi tried to cover up the incident with the help of Karina, who happened to be there, but...
TsuratP and OkP are peanut characters recommended by Karina's boss, Matano. NHK Drama's official website (@nhk_dramas) has released a retrospective video of "Kaedama Bravo!", which uses the theme song of TsuratP OkP. Comments include, "It's going round and round in my head. I want TsuratP OkP," "Please make TsuratP OkP into a product," and "I want it to be broadcast on Minna no Uta starting in March."
