The 84th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on January 30th, and viewers were surprised by the decision made by "Nabe-san" Takao (played by Naoto Ogata).
In the 84th episode, the secondhand clothing store "Girlies" was scheduled to close, but thanks to successful advertising on social media, orders by email from all over Japan increased, and the store was able to continue operating. When Ayumi ( Riisa Naka), who visited Takao's store to order custom shoes, told him about it, Takao listened with interest.
A few days later, Masato (Kitamura Yukiya) and others learn from Wakabayashi (Niro Shinya), a city hall employee, that Takao has decided to sell his home and shop, which is filled with memories of his only daughter Maki (Oshima Miyu), who died in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, as well as the land, to a shopping center that is planned to be built there.
When Masato went to talk to Takao, Takao said, "I'm a craftsman. With one skill, you can live anywhere," and "This is what Maki wanted." Recalling Maki's words, "My dad will be fine wherever he goes. He's the best shoemaker in Japan," who dreamed of living in Tokyo with Takao after graduating from high school, Masato put his hand on his chest and said, "I'll be right here. That's why... I'm going to Tokyo with Maki."
Regarding Takao's decision to move to Tokyo with Maki's dream, comments on social media included, "I was in tears that morning at the great actor's acting," "A hot development," "Is this an exit flag?", "I was moved by the story of the heroine's sister's best friend's father moving to Tokyo... I'm tearing up," "He's walking this path together with Maki," and "I'm captivated by Ogata Naoto's acting and can't take my eyes off Nabe-san every morning."
