NHK BS declared on the 1st that it would be pausing the encore broadcast of the television drama series “Chocchan.” Episode 86 was set to air on that particular day. “Chocchan” was the 38th morning drama series produced by NHK, airing in 1987.

NHK BS’s official X (formerly Twitter) has declared, “Chocchan, which is currently being broadcast on NHK BS and BSP4K, will be taking a break starting today.” It went on to say, “It is set to recommence on Monday, July 21st.” We kindly ask for your understanding. The website further elucidates the rationale behind the decision, asserting that “this was a thorough decision considering the circumstances surrounding the House of Councillors election, which is set to take place on Sunday, July 20th.” “Cho-chan” draws inspiration from the life of Tetsuko Kuroyanagi’s mother, narrating the journey of a girl who flourished in the expansive landscapes of Takikawa, Hokkaido. As she pursues her dreams in music, she navigates the challenges of the tumultuous Showa period with a spirit of carefree resilience.

The role of the heroine Choko is portrayed by Hiro Komura, aged 59, while her husband Kaname is brought to life by Kiminori Sera, who is 69 years old. Today, Sera declared his intention to stand as an independent candidate in the Osaka electoral district for the upcoming House of Councillors election, with voting scheduled for the 20th and an official announcement set for the 3rd.

In light of recent events, Komura took to her blog to express her sentiments, beginning with the phrase, “I have some sad news to share.” She continued, “I was also taken aback by the unexpected news, but I suppose I’ll regard it as ‘Cho-chan’s summer vacation,'” she noted, punctuating her message with a crying face emoji.

On X, viewers remarked, “So this indicates that Cho-chan is taking a break starting today!!” “Cho-chan has been absent from the airwaves for nearly three weeks. If Sera-san is elected, does that imply that #Cho-chan will be put on the back burner…?” One must ponder whether its continued airing might serve as a boon for Sera Kiminori.
