The NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto (General, Monday to Saturday 8:00 am and others) will broadcast its 16th week, "Laugh, Gals". The 76th episode on January 20th is...
Yui's (Hashimoto) gal pal, Ruli (Miricham), suddenly comes to visit her at her home in Fukuoka. She learns that the apparel company she worked for in Fukuoka went bankrupt and she moved to a store in Tokyo, but that store closed down too, leaving her unemployed. However, she doesn't feel like going back to Fukuoka at this point, so she asks to stay at Yui's house for just the night.
With that in mind, Yui goes to Ayumi ( Riisa Naka) for advice about finding a job for Lurie.
"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.
