Actor Kanna Hashimoto appeared on the NHK morning information program "Asaichi" (General) broadcast on February 21st. She looked back on the wrap-up of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi" (Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), in which she plays the main character Yui.
At the beginning, Hashimoto greeted with a smile, "Good morning. It's Yui-chan." The station's announcer, Naoko Suzuki, introduced the video by saying, "The filming wrapped up last week, right? So, this is the first time we've shown it on 'Asaichi.' Please take a look at the footage from that time." Then, the video of the wrap-up was shown for the first time.
Hashimoto, who finished filming with the hospital scene, commented in the video, "It's over now. I'm surprised. As we were filming, I feel like everyone and I got along well and had a lot of fun."
"The cast members were all so warm and welcoming, and I was reminded once again how much fun it is to have so many sessions with the directing team on each and every scene and create them together. I was so happy to be surrounded by such warm staff members. Thank you so much, everyone," she said, with tears in her eyes.
Afterwards, when filming in the studio finished, a video of Hashimoto bursting a paper lantern was broadcast. The cast who played Yui's family were also in the studio at the time, but when filming wrapped up for the hospital scene, Hashimoto was alone. When Hakata Daikichi, from the comedy duo "Hakata Hanamaru & Daikichi," who acted as the newscaster, said, "It must be lonely," Hashimoto revealed, "I was a little lonely, but I met him at the wrap party about two days later."
When Daikichi said, "It's a little far away, so no one could do anything like a surprise. Everyone is busy," Hakata Hanamaru replied, "They usually come out," drawing laughter from the studio. Hashimoto also laughed, saying, "They usually come out," and explained the situation, saying, "The end time was decided pretty close to the last minute depending on the weather. But all the staff came to the hospital."
Regarding her current state of mind, about 10 days after filming wrapped, Hashimoto explained, "Right after it ended, it didn't really feel real. I thought that if they told me the meeting time tomorrow, I would probably be there, but it's gradually starting to feel real." She also said, "I've been living in Osaka for a long time, so coming back to Tokyo feels really fresh."
