The mega-hit ‘Tora ni Tsubasa’
“Cheers!”
The much-talked-about morning drama Tora ni Tsubasa finished filming on August 31. A week later, at a restaurant in Shirokane, where nearly 200 people involved with the production gathered, lead actress Sairi Ito (30) led the toast.
As the lead who successfully completed nearly a year of filming, Ito spent the day chatting with her co-stars, including Ha Yeon-Soo (33) and Yuki Sakurai (37), and was moved to tears by a video message from her “mentor,” Kaoru Kobayashi (73), and the producer’s speech. The celebration lasted five hours.
Tora ni Tsubasa is an original story based on the life of Japan’s first female lawyer, Yoshiko Mitsubuchi. The clever and charming heroine, Torako, faces various injustices while asking herself “What now?” and pushes her way through the male-dominated legal world, touching the hearts of many viewers. With two weeks until the final episode, as of September 10, the highest household viewership rating was 18.9% for the 100th episode, surpassing even Maiagare! and Boogie Woogie, marking a mega-hit.
