Synopsis
The 47th NHK Taiga Drama is a life story of Atsuhime who was born in Kagoshima Prefecture, then called Satsuma, and became the wife of Tokugawa Iesada, the 13th shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. She accedes to the highest rank in Ooku, the inner palace of the Edo castle where women related to the reigning shogun resided. Iesada dies soon after their marriage and Atsuhime assumes the name Tenshoin at the age of 23. She exerts herself for the Tokugawa clan and for the nation during the upheaval in the Meiji Restoration, headed by those from Satsuma. In 1835, Shimazu Tadatake, head of the Imaizumi-Shimazu family of Satsuma clan, and Oyuki are blessed with a long-awaited daughter, Okatsu, who later becomes Atsuhime. She grows up as a tomboy, full of wonders, yet warm-hearted. Meanwhile, as Satsuma clan is under going financial reform, headed by chief retainer Zusho, Tadatake is punished for being lenient with farmers. Okatsu, unable to absorb why her father is punished, charges over to Zusho.

LOL, it's very interesting and coincidental that the two Momogaoka school conductors from Nodame are in this Taiga: Tamaki Hiroshi (Chiaki Shinichi) and Endo Yuya (Ookouchi Mamoru)...

Eita!!
The worst I ever saw his ears was in the beginning of STMB when he's wearing a baseball cap. BOY!!! did that ever make his ears stick out!!! I thought it was the funniest part of the movie and they weren't even playing it for laughs.
Itai indeed It's a bit difficult to take him seriously sometimes though.. is it for the ears? Like in Sapuri, where he's supposed to be a really kakkoii man... hm..
