The 110th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on March 6th, and the scene in which Toki (played by Takaishi) gives birth drew attention.
Six months pass in the blink of an eye, and the day of Toki's birth arrives. Heaven ( Tommy Bastow), Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Takashi Okabe), Takeru (Rairin Sugita), and Masaki (Yukito Hidaka) pray for a safe delivery and fire a gun at the pillar of the house. With Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki), Kuma (Toru Natsume), and the midwife (Fukiko Hara) looking on, Toki and Heaven's first son is finally born.
Regarding Toki's birth scene, the program's official account (@asadora_bk_nhk) revealed, "The day the birth scene was filmed was Akari Takaishi's birthday. She was very moved, saying, 'I'm so happy that Toki became a mother on the day he was born!'"
This is the first time in two years since "Boogie Woogie" in the second half of 2023 that the heroine will be shown giving birth in a drama. Comments on social media included, "It's been a while since we've seen a birth scene in a Asadora," "It's been a while since we've seen a birth scene in a Asadora!!," "It's rare these days," "It feels like it's been a while since I've seen such a passionate birth scene. It gave me energy watching it too," "The birth scene was so full of love that I cried," "Today's birth scene was necessary," and "It was so realistic. Akari is an incredible actor."
