Omusubi:Yui graduates from vocational school. Viewers are moved by the smiling Purikura photos of "Group J": "I thought it was the final episode" "They've become good friends"

The 55th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on December 13th, and viewers were drawn to the scene where Yui (Hashimoto), who has graduated from a vocational school, takes a Purikura photo with the members of Team J.

In episode 55, Yui, who received a job offer from Seikawa Electric, graduates from a vocational school together with her classmates from J-group. After the graduation ceremony, Yui is walking along the seaside with Sachi, also known as "Satchin" (Yamamoto Maika), Kasumi, also known as "Kasumin" (Taira Yuna), and Morikawa, also known as "Morimori" (Kote Shinya). Morikawa, who entered the vocational school in his 40s, expresses his gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much for treating me like an old man without any discrimination. I felt like I was back in my youth every day."

Then Sachi said, "I thought it would be refreshing to break up with you guys," and Kasumi responded, "I was pissed off too. Your arrogant and superior attitude." Yui stepped in to stop her, saying, "Stop it. Today is the last day."

With a sad look on her face, Kasumi advised Sachi, "You shouldn't behave like that at your new workplace. Your smile is so cute." Sachi, holding back tears, cheered her on, saying, "If you're too nice like you've been up until now, the Tokyo guys won't look down on you."

When Yui said, "You two are lonely, but you're not honest," Sachi pointed out to Yui, saying, "You're the one I'm most worried about!" Kasumi also pointed out, "You're always trying to help other people," and Morikawa also told her, "Take better care of yourself."

Yui called out with a smile, "Okay! Let's go to the last thing!" and the four members of J-group took Purikura photos at a game center. While the theme song "Illumination" by rock band "B'z" was playing, flashbacks to their time at the vocational school were shown one after another.

Comments on social media included, "I thought it was the final episode," "It was definitely the final episode of 'Chapter 1'!," "I never thought the day would come when I'd cry at the Purikura scene," "They've really become good friends," and "Everyone's smiles were truly wonderful."
