In the 84th episode, a father and son come to Girlies, and the son Kenta (Hinata Arata) asks Ayumu ( Riisa Naka Naka) and others, "Please make my mom fashionable." Kenta reveals that his mother, Yumi (Wasami Nakagawa), who is busy raising her child and cannot dress up, looked envious when she saw Girlies' social media posts, and says, "Today is my mom's birthday, so please use my pocket money to make her fashionable," and hands her the pocket money he has saved up in a bottle.

On social media, comments included, "That's the kid from Ochoyan!", "I was so moved to find out that Yoshio has been reincarnated as a kind son who cares for his mother", "Kenta = little Yoshio?! He's grown up so much... it's good that he has a mom this time", and "Most child actors you see in Asadora have already appeared somewhere."
