It was revealed on December 9th that the weekly average viewership rating (households) for the 10th week of "Hito Sorete De Yoka" (December 2nd-6th), the NHK morning drama series "Omusubi" starring Kanna Hashimoto (General TV, Monday-Saturday 8am and others), was 13.2% (calculated from a survey by Video Research, Kanto region).
The household viewership ratings for the 10th week were 12.9% for the 46th episode, 13.2% for the 47th episode, 13.0% for the 48th episode, 13.3% for the 49th episode, and 13.4% for the 50th episode.
"Omusubi" is a "Heisei youth graffiti" in which the heroine, born in 1989, connects people's hearts and futures as a nutritionist, with the "gal spirit" of valuing one's individuality at all times.
In the 10th week, Yui (Hashimoto) is asked by Wakabayashi (Shinya Niiro), a Kobe city employee, to help prepare a soup kitchen for a children's disaster prevention training. Yui consults with Sakuraba-sensei (Saki Aibu), a vocational school teacher, and they decide to come up with a menu for the soup kitchen in class.
However, not knowing what to make in the event of a disaster, Yui decides to talk to Misae (Kimura Midoriko), a member of the shopping district who had experienced evacuation during the earthquake.
Once again, Yui is reminded of the tragedy of that time.
Yui also hopes that Misae and Maki's father, Takao (Naoto Ogata), will reconcile... Before long, they need someone to help them because they don't have enough people to help out at the soup kitchen, and Masato (Yukiya Kitamura) suggests Takao's name.
On the day of the disaster prevention drill, Takao appeared at the venue... and so things unfolded.
