<p> Yorimichi Fujiwara swoops in behind Naohide, &#8220;the benefactor of his father&#8217;s love&#8221;!</p>
<p> Naohide, however, skillfully takes Yorimichi&#8217;s arm and simply says, &#8220;Yes, yes, yes,&#8221; and they chat and laugh.</p>
<p> It was 4:30 in the morning of a November day when Katsuya Maekuma (37), Naohide, and Keisuke Watanabe (31), Yorimichi Fujiwara, who had never been involved in the play, appeared together. The location was Ikebukuro. In fact, it was here that the launch party (third round) for the historical drama &#8220;Hikaru Kimi e&#8221; was being held.</p>

<p> The first party started after 3:00 p.m. on the previous day. The party, which lasted for 15 hours, was over, and the 30-member cast and crew headed home.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Naohide, played by Masakuma, is a member of the Sangaku troupe that performs satirical plays. Although they are reunited, they are unable to see each other due to the difference in their status.</span><span class="strongInContent"> Michinaga and Mahiro meet up at the hall where Sangaku is held. Naohide played the role of Cupid for the two.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> However, Naohide had the face of a &#8220;righteous bandit&#8221; who committed banditry for the sake of the poor, and was captured and executed in Michinaga&#8217;s house when he entered to steal. He was a man of mystery, but he was kind to Mahiro and popular with the viewers for his commitment to justice.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Yorimichi was Michinaga&#8217;s eldest son and appeared in the 35th episode. His appearance in the 35th episode was much talked about as &#8220;a beautiful boy with no trace of Michinaga. He is a strong man but not so interested in politics, and he has mixed feelings toward his father Michinaga.</span></p>

<p> After seeing off &#8220;Mahiro&#8221;&#8211;Yuriko Yoshitaka (36), who served as the chairperson of the party, Watanabe and Maimikuma walked toward Ikebukuro Station.</p>
<p> Tasuku Emoto (37), &#8220;Fujiwara no Michinaga,&#8221; and Ryuji Akiyama (46), &#8220;Fujiwara no Saneshi,&#8221; who had also stayed for the third round, were on their way home about 10 minutes before the party.</p>
<p> Minosuke Bando (35), Kanata Hongo (34), and Eihisa Shiono (29), all three emperors, served as the head of the storehouse and were able to give their opinions to Michinaga without fear. Although they had clashed at times during the play, they disappeared into the Ikebukuro night, shoulder to shoulder.</p>

<p> Kohei Matsushita (37) returned home just before the date changed in the middle of the third party. He played a Sung doctor, Zhou Ming, who was kind and gentle, teaching Sung language and having a faint crush on Mahiro.</p>
<p> Matsushita was talking intimately with Yusuke Uechi (45), who played Michinaga&#8217;s half-brother, Fujiwara no Michitsuna. Although the two were not involved in the film, it was impressive to see them shaking hands firmly, as if they had deepened their friendship at the launch.</p>
<p> The final episode of &#8220;To You, Hikaru Kimi&#8221; will be broadcast on December 15. Even after the curtain closes, the bond between the actors will no doubt continue to weave new stories.</p>
