On June 3rd, talent Obayashi appeared at the convenience store chain Lawson's "Machi no Happy Daisakusen" commemorative event held in Tokyo, where she talked about her dream of becoming the governor of Aomori Prefecture.
When asked what she wants to achieve or what she wants to try, in reference to the "Happy Town Strategy," O-rin wrote "Operation Governor." She said her goal is to become the governor of Aomori Prefecture, where she was born and raised, and said with a smile, "Right now, I'm thinking about doing what I can to become governor. I'm starting to do various things so that I can help the troubled parts of Aomori Prefecture."
"On TV, people think of me as the 'stupid O-rin,' so I want to work hard to redeem that and make people think, 'This person could really become governor!'" she said enthusiastically.
She also stated, "I personally greeted the (current) governor and said, 'I would be happy if I could be the next governor.'" She added with a smile, "I would like to become someone who can help Aomori in its troubled areas."
Matsuyama Kenichi, Kawaei Rina, and Umezawa Tomio also appeared at the event.
