The 83rd episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto 's (Hashimoto) mother Aiko (Aso Kumiko) and others transformed into gals, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 83rd episode, the secondhand clothing store "Girlies" was having a closing down sale, and the customers were gone and it was deserted. Then Himiko (Ikebata Shinnosuke) came in and asked, "How is the closing down sale going? Is it going well?" Ayumi ( Riisa Naka) replied, "It was good at first, but it's not going well..."
Himiko suddenly asked, "Do you guys know about Yamataikoku?" and revealed that although there are various theories about where Yamataikoku was supposed to have been, she thought it didn't matter where it was. She then smiled and said, "I wonder why everyone is so prejudiced. Where Yamataikoku is, what about men, what about women, old people, young people, it doesn't really matter anymore. Everyone is free."
Taking a hint from Himiko's words, Ayumi decides to dress up Himiko as a gal, take a photo of her, and ask her gal friends to spread the photo on social media. This plan works, so Ayumi dresses up Aiko, Misae (Kimura Midoriko), and other shopkeepers of all ages and genders as gals, and posts the photos on social media, sparking further buzz.
Comments on social media about Aso, now 46, and Kimura, 63, in their gal outfits included, "It was so shocking I didn't even know who they were," "They're so cute," "A treasured cosplay from Aso," "I never thought I'd see Aso Kumiko in a gal outfit," and "Both Aso Kumiko and Kimura Midoriko looked great in their gal outfits."
