Come Come Everybody

Come Come Everybody (カムカムエヴリバディ, Kamu Kamu Evuribadi) is a Japanese television drama series and the 105th NHK Asadora series, following Okaeri Mone. It premiered on November 1, 2021, and concluded on April 8, 2022. The story is about 100 years-old family, three generations, Yasuko (grandmother), Rui (mother), and Hinata (daughter) who worked with a radio English course during the Shōwa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras. The drama is set in Okayama, Osaka and Kyoto.

The story is about a three-generation family, Yasuko (grandmother), Rui (mother) and Hinata (daughter) who worked with a radio English course during the Shōwa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras. While facing the challenges of the Shōwa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras, the three find their own way of life in love, work, and marriage. The story unfolds in a heroine relay system.

Yasuko Tachibana was born in Okayama City in 1925, the year when Japan began radio broadcasts. Yasuko grew up in a warm family who owns a Japanese sweets shop in the shopping district of Okayama city. Her family wished her to inherit the shop but war changed her fate. Her story is Japanese sweets and baseball-themed.

Yasuko's daughter, Rui's story begins in Osaka in 1955 with jazz as its theme. Rui separates from her mother for some reason and opens the way to live under her own will and power, even though she is hurt and lost. Rui hates her mother and English.

Meanwhile the story of Hinata, Rui's daughter and Yasuko's granddaughter, sets off in Kyoto in 1965 as a historical drama. Unlike her grandmother, Hinata was born in a peaceful time, and is a sweetheart. Hinata is a little useless but she plays an important role in this three-generation family story.

This is the first time in the history of a serial television novel that three actresses play the three main characters as different heroines. The heroine baton will be passed down to the next generation in a relay system.

The title Come Come Everybody is the title of the opening song of the NHK Radio English course, commonly known as "kamu kamu eigo" by Tadaichi Hirakawa, that once dominated Japan immediately after the end of the war. When the lyrics "Come come everybody" and the melody of the Japanese children's song "Shojoji no Tanukibayashi" started, children and elderly people all over Japan were hooked and encouraged by the cheerful voice. It conveyed Hirakawa's desire to "brighten" the dark postwar Japan. The title was made with the wish that the slogan "Come Come Everybody" would be a power word to open up the future to live in the present.

Mone Kamishiraishi and Rina Kawaei were selected as heroines through an audition which received 3061 applicants. Eri Fukatsu was chosen by NHK. This is Mone Kamishiraishi and Eri Fukatsu's first appearance in an asadora. Rina Kawaei already appeared in the asadora Toto Neechan (2016).
