The 51st episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on December 8th, and viewers were drawn to the drunken appearance of Ume (Nouchi Maru), a maid at the Hanada Inn.
The New Year has arrived in Matsue. Toki (Takaishi) is teaching Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) how to say New Year's greetings. Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa Ryo) arrives and they decide to share their New Year's resolutions. Heaven says she wants to find the final piece to complete her Japan travelogue.
Afterwards, Toki and the others head to the Hanada Inn for a New Year's party. When they arrive, Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe) and Kan'emon (Fumiyo Kohinata) are already drunk, and Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki) apologetically says, "Sorry. We've been drinking a lot since morning and are already drunk."
Heita (played by Namase Katsuhisa) responded, "It's fine for New Year's, though." He then pointed to Ume, who was laughing in high spirits, saying, "Hehehehe..." and said, "But the one who's the drunkest is her."
Afterwards, when asked to say hello, Heaven made the shocking statement, "Next, Fuyu, me, Matsue, I don't have any." Everyone fell silent, except for Ume, who was drunk, who laughed and said, "Congratulations!"
Ume's drunk appearance caught the attention of viewers, and "Ume-chan" became a trending topic on X. Comments on social media included, "Ume-chan is in a good mood, which is unusual for her," "She's too good to be true lol," "Ume-san is completely drunk," "She's the type who becomes hilarious when she's drunk," "It's cute to see someone who is usually so serious get drunk," "Her hehehehe is so cute," "I never expected Ume-chan to be like that lol," and "She was the best thing today."
