パペットホームズ、大河ドラマなどの好きなテレビ番組やラグビーについて書いています。アフィリエイトはやっていません。／Welcome to my blog. I write about some Japanese TV programmes including NHK puppetry and Taiga Drama, Sherlock Holmes and rugby. I don't do affiliate marketing.
I think that you know, the Taiga Drama Series "Idaten ~ Tokyo Olympic Hanashi" will be broadcast next year. It describes the lives of Shisō Kanaguri, a marathon runner who participated in the Stockholm Olympics and Masaji Tabata, a swimming coach who realised hosting the Olympic in Tokyo. It is written by Kankurō Kudō. The role of Kanaguri is played by NAKAMURA Kankurō VI and Sadao Abe acts as Tabata.
And the series in 2020 was announced last week. It is titled "Kirin ga Kuru" that describes the life of AKECHI Mitsuhide, vassal of ODA Nobunaga (*). "Kirin" is used as a Japanese translation of giraffe. But in this case, it is an imaginary animal that appears when a good ruler governs the country (**). It is written by Shunsaku Ikehata who wrote "Taiheiki" in 1991 and Hiroki Hasegawa plays the leading part.
(*) His letter that says the reestablishment of Muromachi Bakufu was found last year. (**) The animal is a trademark of KIRIN BEER, one of major beer companies in Japan.
