Where will Mahiro’s “The Tale of Genji” lead the fate of the women and men of the Heian period? Michinaga reaches the height of his prosperity with three daughters as his queens. Mahiro has reached the final stage of writing “The Tale of Genji.” As the generation of children such as Yorimichi and Kenko rises to prominence, Mahiro and Michinaga eventually begin to go their separate ways. Will there ever be a time when those paths will cross again? Where will the two souls that resonate together finally arrive? The drama guide begins with a newly photographed conversation between Yuriko Yoshitaka and Yu Emoto. We will deliver live voices of the performers, including cast introductions and interviews, Mahiro’s filming diary looking back at off-shots, Ryuji Akiyama x First Summer Uika conversation, and Otomaru and Mozuhiko’s Otomozu conversation.
