The 74th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Kanna Hashimoto , was broadcast on January 16th, and Ayumi's ( Riisa Naka) former gal pal Akipee (Naomi Watanabe) made her first appearance in a Purikura photo booth, attracting the attention of viewers.
In the 74th episode, Yui (Hashimoto) and Ayumu, who experienced the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, search for something they can do for those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, but have difficulty finding what they can do.
At that time, Takao (Ogata Naoto), who decided to send shoes to the disaster area, advised Ayumi, "You're a gal, right? If you're a gal, do things that only a gal can do." Ayumi pulled out an old photo booth album and remembered Akipee, a gal from Iwate who used to work together with her in Tokyo as a gal.
Ayumi, who visited Chanmika (Matsui Rena), showed her a photo of the three of them together and said, "Do you remember this girl? Akipee, who was hanging out in Shibuya." Chanmika replied, "Of course I'll remember her. She's the one and only demon gal, Akipee, right?"
Ayumi said with a look of relief, "Aki-Pi is from Iwate. You know, he was bragging about it. He said he ate 200 bowls of Wankosoba. I remembered that and sent him an email. Then, he was safe." He added, "And now he's in charge of a gal circle in Morioka," and Chanmika smiled and said, "Really? That's so Aki-Pi."
Ayumu asked Akipi what they needed and learned that they were short on hygiene products, winter clothing, baby milk, etc. Ayumu asked Chanmika for help in collecting supplies to send to the disaster area.
On social media, comments about Watanabe's appearance in the Purikura photo booth included "She's made quite an impact," "She has a really Heisei feel," "She's the one and only demon gal, and she's in charge of the gal club in Morioka," "She has the dignity to live up to the name of demon gal," and "I can't wait to see her!"
