The 10th episode of the NHK Taiga drama "BROTHERS IN ARMS （Toyotomi Brothers!） " (NHK General, Sundays at 8 PM, etc.), starring actor Taiga Nakano, aired on March 15th. In this episode, fans of the Asadora reacted to the actor playing Asai Nagamasa, the man to whom Ichi, played by Aoi Miyazaki , married.
" BROTHERS IN ARMS （Toyotomi Brothers!） " is the 65th Taiga drama. With Toyotomi Hidenaga (Koichiro) as the protagonist, it depicts the miraculous feat of unifying Japan together with his older brother Hideyoshi (Tokichiro) through their strong bond, a success story of dreams and hopes.
In episode 10, Nobunaga ( Masaki Suda Shun Oguri ) finally conquers Mino, and Hanbei (Masaki Suda) becomes a retainer of Fujikichiro (Sosuke Ikematsu).
Meanwhile, Akechi Mitsuhide (played by Kaname Jun) arrives in town as an envoy of Ashikaga Yoshiaki (played by Onoe Ukon) to visit Nobunaga. He asks Nobunaga to eliminate the Miyoshi clan, who assassinated the previous shogun, and then go to Kyoto to install Yoshiaki as shogun. Nobunaga accepts the offer... and the story unfolds from there.
Asai Nagamasa, whom Nobunaga married off to his sister Ichi because he believed he would be an obstacle to his march to Kyoto, was a young warrior of great loyalty, intelligence, and courage, and the role will be played by Ayumu Nakajima . Last year, he gave a great performance as Wakamatsu Jiro Wakamatsu , the first husband of the heroine Nobu ( Mio Imada ), in the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan ," and this is still fresh in people's minds, so Asadora fans have been reacting on social media.
Comments poured in one after another, such as: "Huh? Lord Nagamasa, is that Jiro from Anpan?", "Jiro from ' Anpan' is Asai Nagamasa...", "Oh! Asai Nagamasa is Jiro from ' Anpan'!", "It's been a long time, Jiro", "So Jiro's past life was Asai Nagamasa", "Since it's Jiro, he's perfect as her first husband", and "Asai Nagamasa! I want to see more! Jiro from ' Anpan'!"
