NHK morning drama handover ceremony - from "Gochisousan" to "Hanako to Anne"

The NHK morning drama handover ceremony was held at Midoriyama Studio in Yokoyama on 18 March where An, the lead of current morning drama "Gochisousan", presented strawberries and flowers to Yoshitaka Yuriko, the lead of upcoming morning drama "Hanako to Anne". On the other hand, Yoshitaka gave a book cover made of deer leather and the original novel of her drama to An. The latter drama will be shown from 31st March onwards.

An and Yoshitaka had last worked together in the movie "Manatsu no Houteishiki" and became close friends. An commented that she has lots of confidence that Yoshitaka being a bright and cheerful person, will be able to complete her 10-month long filming which will last till August this year with ease. In return, Yoshitaka said that she remembered when An first started her filming for "Gochisousan", she was amazed that An had 5 or 6 volumes of the script in her bag all the time so Yoshitaka said that she is a bit intimidated by the fact that she has to go through so many volumes of the script now.
