February 3 is Setsubun. On this day, Setsubun festivals were held all over Japan, and the NHK historical drama “Toyotomi Brothers! and NHK’s TV drama series “Bakebake,” the main cast members were throwing beans at various locations in the Kansai region.

At Naritasan Fudo Temple (Naritasan Osaka Betsuin Meioin Temple, Neyagawa City, Osaka Prefecture), which is known for “traffic safety prayers,” a special stage was set up at 1:00 p.m. with the cast of “Toyotomi Brothers! Minami Hamabe, 25, who plays Nene in “Toyotomi Brothers!” appeared in a pink haori hakama with Sousuke Ikematsu, 35, who plays Hideyoshi Toyotomi.

It is said that even demons are converted at Naritasan Fudo, so there is no such thing as “Oni wa soto” in the call to arms. Hamabe and Ikematsu were said to be holding in their hands a large amount of beans stuffed into the largest “Senmasu Daifuku Masu” (150cm square, 80cm high, weighing 200kg) in Japan, and they were throwing them cheerfully with a shout of “Fuku wa uchi! The beans were scattered cheerfully with the shouts of “Fuku wa uchi! Hamabe-san’s beans were scattered with great vigor. Many visitors rushed to the shrine to receive the beans that Ms. Hamabe had scattered,” said one of the visitors.

At 11:00 a.m., Akari Takaishi (23), the heroine of “Bakebake,” Tommy Bastow (34), who played her husband, and Takashi Okabe (53), who played her father, appeared at the same location. At this point, there were approximately 20,000 worshippers. The two actors, who play a married couple in the drama, were cheered on when they showed their chemistry by shouting together and vigorously scattering beans.

Bastow updated her Instagram on the same day. He uploaded a video of himself scattering beans,

Thank you all for coming out today!

Thank you all for coming! Also, at the “Fukumamemaki Event in Nagahama Castle” held at Toyo Park in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture, Bastow, who plays the younger sister of the brothers in “Toyotomi Brothers! and Nagi Inoue (20), who is scheduled to appear as Chacha, appeared at the event. They were full of energy as they sprinkled the beans.

It seems that the spectators who received the beans that the girls had scattered were already “blessed”.
