The 93rd episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others), starring Kanna Hashimoto , was broadcast on February 12th, and the words uttered by Ayumu ( Riisa Naka) became a hot topic among viewers.
Marie (Hiyama Arisu), a 17-year-old hospitalized at Osaka Shin-Yodogawa Memorial Hospital where Yui (Hashimoto) works, went on an extreme diet to look like her own, which she had edited using a smartphone app, and ended up with malnutrition and liver dysfunction. Yui and the NST (nutrition support team) members encouraged her to eat more, but Marie refused, saying, "Is it bad to want to be cute?"
At the beginning of episode 93, Yui asks Ayumu, "Is it a good thing to want to be cute even if it means ruining your body?" Ayumu answers, "Whether it's for likes, for the person you like, or for yourself, there's nothing wrong with becoming cute, but isn't the more important thing whether you're having fun or not? Even if you become cute, if you're not having fun, it's pointless, right?"
On social media, people responded to Ayumu's words with comments such as, "What a great quote," "So true," "It really hits home," "If it's not fun, it's hard work, that's the essence of the gal spirit," and "I want to introduce Ayumu to Marie."
