Omusubi:In the film, Ayumu buys a smartphone in 2009, saying, "In a few years, everyone will have one." Responses include, "He has such foresight," and "He's truly charismatic."

The 68th episode of the NHK Asadora"Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on January 8th, and viewers were drawn to the smartphone that made its first appearance in the drama.

At the beginning of episode 68, Masato (Kitamura Yukiya) noticed the sound of a shutter and turned to Ayumi ( Riisa Naka) who was relaxing on the sofa and asked, "Did you buy another new phone?" When Ayumi explained, "It's not a cell phone, it's a smartphone. It has the same specs as your mother's computer," Masato replied, "If you can make calls, that's good enough."

Ayumu then declared, "No, I think everyone will have this in a few years." However, Masato didn't take him seriously, saying, "Hmph! There's no way that's true!"

In that episode, the calendar hanging in the Yoneda family's living room was from August 2009. Apple's iPhone 3G went on sale in Japan in July 2008, and its successor, the iPhone 3GS, was released in June 2009.

On social media, comments included, "We've entered the age of smartphones!", "Just as Ayumu said, even elementary school students have them now," "His prediction came true," "Ayumu has such foresight," "Ayumu was one of the earliest people to use a smartphone in 2009," and "He's truly a charismatic person."
