Press conference of NHK morning drama "Gochisousan"

The press conference of NHK morning drama "Gochisousan" was held on 20 August at Osaka which was attended by cast members An, Higashide Masahiro, Miyazaki Yoshiko, Kondo Masaomi, Wada Masato, Kimura Midoriko and Takahata Mitsuki. The drama is set in Osaka during the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras where An plays the heroine Uno Meiko who has a deep passion for food.

As the previous morning drama "Ama-chan" was a ratings winner with an average of 22.9%, An was asked about the ratings pressure for her drama and commented that she hoped to maintain the momentum so that "Gochisousan" can also do well. Her co-stars remarked that An is such a big eater that she tries all the types of food they use during filming and she replied sheepishly her weight has gone up slightly since filming started in mid May at Tokyo. The filming of the Osaka arc has already begun.
