The 53rd episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00am and others), starring Kanna Hashimoto ) and Aiko (played by Kumiko Aso) when they were younger, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 53, Yui applies for a job at a sports nutrition company in order to support her boyfriend Shoya (Sano Hayato), but is depressed when she doesn't get a job offer.
Masato asks Yui, "Do you have to work for a company that is strong in sports? Why don't you just get a job anywhere?", but Aiko points out, "You just don't want me to get married, do you?" Masato has been in a bad mood ever since he heard from the owner of the local Chinese restaurant, Taikyokuken, that Yui had proposed to Shoya.
When Masato said, "Of course, I'm only 19," Aiko replied, "I got married when I was 18." Masato explained, "But I was already working as a barber with my master," to which Aiko retorted, "I was just an apprentice," and began to talk about how the two met.
Seijin says he met Aiko, who had run away from home, by chance in Kobe, and in a flashback scene, a young Seijin with long hair is seen playing the guitar in front of Aiko and proposing to her, saying, "Aiko, when my hair grows to the same length as yours, let's marry each other."
As Aiko looked back on that time and laughed, "He proposed to me in a blatant rip-off of Takuro Yoshida," Masato thrashed around trying to hide his embarrassment.
On social media, comments such as "That was a proposal like Yoshida Takuro! Masato was pretty good," "It was funny that the proposal was the same lyrics as Yoshida Takuro's 'Let's Get Married'," and "I like the feel of young Masato's short comedy sketches," made "Yoshida Takuro" a trending topic. On the other hand, there were also comments that suggested Masato's proposal to Aiko was out of date, with comments such as "Yoshida Takuro's proposal to Aiko was also out of date... but the song was released in 1972, right? That was a while ago..." and "Masto's proposal would have been around 1979. What an anachronism (lol)."
