Production

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.[2]

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 contained the wish of Tadaichi Hirakawa to "brighten" the heavy postwar Japan. With the wish that the slogan "Come Come Everybody" will be a power word that will open up the future to live in the present, it made into the title.[2]

Mone Kamishiraishi and Rina Kawaei were selected as heroines with an audition submitted by 3061 people.[3] Eri Fukatsu chosen by NHK. This is Mone Kamishiraishi and Eri Fukatsu's first appearance in asadora. Rina Kawaei already appear in asadora Toto Neechan (2016).

On July 21, 2021, it was announced that the broadcast would start on November 1, 2021.[1] On September 27, it was announced that the theme song for Come Come Everybody would be "Aldebaran", a song recorded by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Ai that is set to be released on November 1, 2021. The song was written by Naotarō Moriyama and will feature arrangements by Neko Saito.[9] On October 7, 2021, the main poster of the drama has been released.
