The 100th 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 21st, and the dream that Masato (played by Yukiya Kitamura) had during surgery became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 100th episode, Yui (Hashimoto) and others are told by surgeon Kamata (Nakamura Anne) that Seijin's stomach cancer surgery was successful, but that they will need to monitor his progress for the next five years.
Returning to the hospital room, Aiko greets the awake Masato by saying, "You did well in the operation." She then tells Masato that after the operation was over and he had woken up from the anesthesia, he had muttered the names of his family members. Masato replies, "Oh... I guess I was dreaming..."
When asked what Aiko had dreamed about, Masato revealed, "Aiko and I were all eating Omusubi at the dining table in that house in Itoshima," and shared the content of his dream in which he and Ayumu (Riisa Naka), Yui, Shoya (Hayato Sano), and Hana (Miyazaki Ririsa) were also gathered at the table together.
He continued, "My mother made rice balls for Omusubi and we all ate them." "Then, my father suddenly came out and said, 'I'll never forgive you if you die before my parents!' and stole my Omusubi. So, he ate it."
Comments on social media included, "What a happy and gentle dream," "It filled my heart," "So this is where the title is brought back to life," "I never thought ' Omusubi' would lead to this...," "Even though it was a dream, I didn't see that scene, I could easily replay it in my head, it was the real reward for having watched up to that point," and "It was a really good scene that brought me to tears."
