The NHK morning drama series "Omusubi" starring Kanna Hashimoto (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00am and others) will begin its eighth week, "Goodbye Itoshima, Now Kobe," on November 18th.
Yui (Hashimoto), who has graduated from high school and will be entering a vocational school for nutrition, leaves Itoshima with her parents to go to Kobe, where she lived as a child.
The place where her house was half-destroyed in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake has been turned into an apartment building, and Yui is reminded of the disaster, but she is warmly welcomed by her neighbors in the shopping district who she used to be close to, and her mood calms down. She then enters the vocational school in high spirits, dressed like a gal. However, she faces many difficult days ahead, with other students looking at her strangely and teachers scolding her for her nails.
"Omusubi" is a "Heisei youth graffiti" in which the heroine, born in 1989, connects people's hearts and futures as a nutritionist, with her "gal spirit" that values individuality at all times. It is an original work by screenwriter Nemoto Nonji, who is known for his work on the NHK drama "Honest Real Estate."
