The filming for NHK's Taiga drama "Yae no Sakura" was wrapped up on 30 Sep and in commemoration of that, the lead actress Ayase Haruka attended a press conference held on the same day. She commented that although the filming took more than a year, it felt as if the time passed too quickly and she was happy to feel the passion and dedication from everyone around her in order to make a good drama. Odagiri Jo, who plays her husband in the drama, also appeared at the press conference to present a bouquet of flowers to Ayase.
