Omusubi:It's the final week! Next week's previews show the main characters appearing one after another, and people are talking about how "it's heartwarming to see familiar faces" and "it's sad that it's ending"

The 120th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on March 21st. The preview for the 25th and final episode, " Omusubi, Connecting Everyone," was released after the main program, drawing the attention of viewers.

In episode 120, Ayumi (Naka Riisa) repairs a broken hand mirror from "King of Gals" that belonged to Uta (Oshima Miyu) at the request of Yui (Riisa Naka). Later, when Yui asks Ayumi to give it to Uta directly, she is hesitant but agrees. When Ayumi visits the hospital room and meets Uta for the first time, she is surprised once again by how similar she looks to her best friend Maki (Oshima in a dual role), who died in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Ayumi gives Uta clothes as a present. When Uta says "I'm sorry," Ayumi tells her, "In a situation like this, you don't say sorry, you say thank you."

On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Ayumu handed her business card to the staff of the child consultation center as she was being taken there, saying, "If you're ever in trouble, come anytime." Uta said, "Thank you," and left the hospital room.

In the preview for next week's episode, which was released after the main story ended, Yui's line "Eating is not just about living, it's also connected to a person's family and future. If we all eat together, it will become an unforgettable and fun memory," overlaps with the main characters that have appeared so far, one after another. There were many smiling scenes, and the preview hinted at a happy ending.

With the final week's preview finally approaching, comments were made on social media such as, "Everyone is smiling in the final week's preview, it's great! But for some reason it makes me want to cry", "It warms my heart to see familiar faces like Yota and Himiko in next week's preview", "The preview for the final week makes me feel happy, and I'm already overwhelmed with emotion", "It's sad that it's coming to an end", and "Neither Fullmetal Alchemist nor Team J were in the preview, but I believe in the production team!"
