[Video]Anna Sawai tears up…Reviews of famous scenes from “Shogun Shogun”

This work is set on the eve of the battle that will divide the world, the Battle of Sekigahara, and depicts a drama that revolves around the intrigues and strategies of Sengoku warlords inspired by historical figures such as Tokugawa Ieyasu. The 10th and final episode was released on the 23rd, and the heroic ending of the main characters, including protagonist Yoshii Toranaga (Sanada), was revealed.

In the special video, the main cast including Sanada, Anna Sawai (playing Mariko Toda), Takehiro Hira (playing Kazunari Ishido), Tokuma Nishioka (playing Hiromatsu Toda), and Fumi Nikaido (playing Ochiha no Kata) sing their names. Look back at the scene. While watching the footage from episode 4, Sanada felt nostalgic about the time when it was filmed, saying, “I felt joy in being able to perform in the scale of an entire fishing village.” He looks deeply moved.

Anna, who played Mariko, who is burdened with the fate of being the “daughter of a traitor,” bursts into tears as she looks back on episode 9. Seeing Mariko, who carries her own destiny on her shoulders, fighting with a single naginata in front of an army of enemies, she commented, “It was really painful, because Mariko was also carrying a lot of things on her shoulders, so I remember this scene.” She revealed that she put all her heart and soul into the shoot, so much so that her naginata broke and her teeth were damaged.

Nishioka, who played Toda Hiromatsu, a loyal retainer who has supported Toranaga for many years, also recalled episode 8, which became a hot topic overseas. After watching the exchange between Toranaga and Hiromatsu, he says, “I think I participated in this work to do this scene, and Sanada thought the same way.” On the morning of the shooting day, Sanada called out to him and said, “Tokuma-san, that scene has finally come,” and when the two of them finished the scene with great ease, everyone in the room burst into tears. .
