The Nohara Family Comes Together in 'Yakan no Kazoku da Zo!'

On July 22, a fresh episode titled "Yasashii Nohara Izakaya da Zo!" will be unveiled in the beloved series of short films, "Yakan no Kazoku da Zo!" The Nohara family, known from the national anime "Crayon Shin-chan," features popular actors such as Fumiya Takahashi, Taizo Harada, Kumiko Asou, and Mei Hata. This collaborative movie, produced by Coca-Cola’s "Yakan no Mugicha," showcases a slice of family life depicted through humor and warmth.

In spring 2023, Coca-Cola System kicked off this initiative that combines the authentic taste of brewed barley tea with the charming antics of the Nohara family. This is the first-ever live-action adaptation of the anime, providing fans with an entirely new perspective on their cherished characters. The latest episode follows a delightful setup that reflects the joys and challenges of family gatherings.

The Latest Episode: “Nohara Family Fire!”

The seventh episode continues the narrative established in the previous one, introducing the delightful character Himawari, portrayed by Hata. The story unfolds as Shinnosuke returns home to Kasukabe for summer vacation, where he reunites with his sister and parents in a familiar setting. The family comedic dynamics shine through as they gather around the dinner table, enjoying curry and the signature "Yakan no Mugicha." However, the comfort soon turns chaotic when their air conditioning fails, depicting the loveable pandemonium reminiscent of the original series.

A New Promotional Video

In tandem with the release, a 30-second commercial titled "Nohara Family Fire!" will start airing on July 26, aligning with the original show on TV Asahi. Fans can expect to see the characters they love come to life as they enjoy their summer meals.
