The 100th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on February 21st. After the main story, a preview of the next week's episode, the 21st episode, "The Curse of the Yoneda Family," was released, attracting the attention of viewers.
In the 100th episode, Masato (Kitamura Yukiya)'s stomach cancer surgery went well, but the surgeon Kamata (Nakamura Anne) explained that he would need to be monitored for the next five years. Yui (Hashimoto), a registered dietitian, is in charge of giving Masato, who had two-thirds of his stomach removed, dietary advice. Masato is impressed by Yui's work at the hospital.
After being discharged from the hospital, Masato expressed his gratitude to his family, saying, "My life was not wrong. I was really happy. Thank you to everyone until now." Then, one month later, Nagayoshi (Matsudaira Ken) and Kayo (Miyazaki Yoshiko) suddenly came to the Yoneda family from Itoshima, Fukuoka... That was the story.
The preview for next week, which was released after the end of the 100th episode, begins with Nagayoshi and Masato visiting Expo Commemoration Park in Osaka. "Could that be Yoneda Eikichi?" a surprised female voice is heard, and a scene of a smiling woman wearing a red jumper is shown next to Nagayoshi sitting on the grass. The woman, who appears for just three seconds, is actress Aso Yumi. Aso's appearance has not been announced, and on social media there were comments of surprise such as "Isn't it Aso Yumi with Nagayoshi?", "Was Aso Yumi in the preview? She was, right?", "What caught my attention in next week's preview was Aso Yumi, who was only seen in one shot", and "Is there a big-name guest visiting Nagayoshi?!"
Aso is also appearing in the Asadora"Carnation" for the second half of 2011, which is currently being re-broadcast, and comments such as "I wonder if it will overlap with Carnation?", "Aso Yumi will be here next week!" and "I wonder if Aso Yumi will appear in a sequel to Carnation. I'm looking forward to it!!" have been received.
