The eighth episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , aired on April 8th, and viewers were captivated by the plot development in which Naomi (Uesaka) coincidentally meets Sutematsu Oyama ( Mikako Tabe).
Naomi, who longs for America, coincidentally encounters Sutematsu Oyama on her way to a church soup kitchen. Sutematsu, sitting in a carriage, mutters in English, "Ah, I'm tired. Am I really doing anything for this country? What did I get married for...?" Naomi, who understands English, listens to Sutematsu's words.
As Naomi was picking up the potato she had dropped, Sutematsu got out of the carriage. Sutematsu said in English, "Now let's fight. This is my life," and handed the potato to Naomi. Naomi murmured, "My life..."
On social media, comments included: "I have a feeling that fate is about to change," "I wonder if Sutematsu holds the fate of Rin and Naomi in her hands," "Sutematsu is the key person," "This encounter will surely be significant," "I wonder if there's a reason why Naomi didn't reply in English," "Naomi was the only one who heard Sutematsu's grumbling in English," and "'This is my life' sounded like a message to Naomi to live positively."
