Toshiaki Karasawa made a cameo appearance as Maeda Toshiie, a protagonist of the 2002 taiga drama.

As the series was in the middle of its run with high ratings, chief producer Akimasa Oda remarked that the series' success is likely due to its lead couple's ordinariness and industrious attitude.[4]
