The 90th episode of the NHK Asadora"Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on February 7th. After the main story, a preview of the next week's episode, the 19th episode, "What is a Mother?", was released, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 90th episode, Yui (Hashimoto) is concerned that Horiuchi (Seki Hideto), a hospitalized patient with ulcerative colitis, refuses to eat because he says the food tastes bad. One day, Horiuchi's wife calls her to ask for advice. Horiuchi has been having a lot of blood in his stool recently, and his stomach seems to be in a lot of pain. He is always worried about his throat and seems to be having difficulty swallowing food. Yui asks Horiuchi's wife if she has told his doctor, Morishita (Baba Toru), about this, but...
The preview for next week, released after the end of the 90th episode, begins with Yui's mother Aiko (Kumiko Aso) saying meaningfully, "This is the only thing I regret in my life. I wish I had made up with her before I died." Next, Aiko, dressed more formally than usual, is seen meeting up with a man in a suit. Ayumu ( Riisa Naka ), who witnessed the scene, asked Aiko with a worried look, "Who is that man?"
On social media, comments such as "Who is that good-looking guy?", "A refreshingly handsome man is approaching Aiko!", "An affair with a handsome man? An intriguing development", "Aiko wouldn't have an affair", and "I wonder if Aiko's past will come to light too" were posted.
Also, the man in a suit who meets Aiko in the preview is Suga Takamasa, who played Yasuoka Taizo, also known as "Big Brother Taizo," an object of admiration for the main character Itoko ( Machiko Ono ) in the currently rebroadcast morning Asadora "Carnation" (late 2011). Comments such as "It's just Big Brother Taizo from Carnation!", "The modern-day Big Brother Taizo is cool too," and "I can't wait to see if there will be a scene with Hamada Mari!" were received.
