The 120th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake, " starring Akari Takaishi (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), aired on March 20th, and the preview for Week 25, "It's scary, but it's wonderful," which was released after the main episode, attracted the attention of viewers.
In episode 120, Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) confided everything to Toki (Takaishi). With renewed determination, Heaven began writing with the goal of becoming a bestseller, but Toki suggested that he write a book that he himself could read. This opened up a new perspective for Heaven, who had been trapped in a rut by the pressure to write a bestseller. A book that Toki could read, a book that Toki wanted to read...it was a ghost story. And so, Toki and Heaven began writing ghost stories together...and that's how the episode unfolded.
In the preview for week 25, released after the broadcast, Heaven is seen leaning limply on Toki's shoulder, while Toki gazes into the distance and cries. Against this backdrop, Toki's voice is heard repeatedly calling out, "Teacher Heaven," "Mr. Heaven," "Dad," "By the way, Mr. Heaven...", "I'm sorry, Dad," and "Goodnight, Heaven."
The cryptic preview for next week has sparked comments on social media such as, "I burst into tears just from watching the preview," "The ominous nature of the next week's preview is making me uneasy," "The next week's preview is too painful, help me," "The preview got me again—Heaven-san—Heaven-san!", "Heaven-san...is that a flag raised?", "The preview...I'm going to experience both the loss of Bakebake and the loss of Heaven-san at the same time. I don't think my emotions will be able to keep up," and "I want to watch it but I don't want to watch it, I don't want it to end."
