A comment from the drama's production manager, Takashi Usagawa, was also released.
"Thank you very much for watching "Omusubi" for the past six months. I'm sorry to say this is a cliché, but I've always thought that 'we exist because of all of you who watch the drama.' We received a lot of encouragement and scolding, and it gave us strength on many occasions. Thanks to you all, I think we were able to deliver something that could only be conveyed through this drama until the very end. Your voices have always continued to burn hot in our hearts. Yoneda Yui is still living with us in this world," she said.
