How will Nakazo rise up from his predicament? Though there are others who hinder his path, he receives support from his bride Ogishi (Kamishiraishi Mone), and friend Segawa Kinji (Nakamura Shichinosuke). Plus a fateful encounter with a mysterious ronin (Fujiwara Tatsuya) ignites in him a spark of inspiration...

Here are the notes to the SP "Chushingura Rhapsody No. 5 Nakamura Nakazo Shusse no Kizahashi":


First of all, the creators of the SP are the same ones who made another SP I subbed "Rising Jakuchu": Same writer and director, Minamoto Takashi and music director Abe Umitaro. Some of the stars from there are also starring in this latest SP.
This took me a long time to sub since there were a lot of words and phrases that needed research that made me dive into the rabbit hole for hours. I will not include notes anymore about each kabuki actor/character featured, I'm sure you can look them up yourself.
Some words and lines have complicated meanings and lengthy explanations that I could not possibly include in the SP. And so, I've prepared these long notes (as always lol) to help you get a better understanding of the SP...
