"Okaasan to Issho" (with mother) is a program for young children on NHK Educational TV (Monday to Saturday, 7:45 AM). On the March 2nd broadcast, a "special rendition" of the February song "Yukitai Tokoro e" attracted a lot of attention from viewers.
The song was written and composed by Kawashima Ai, and features four adorable characters and is made up of animation.
Also, during today's broadcast, footage of the original gymnastics instructor, Anzuki Akimoto, who will be graduating at the end of this month, was played along with the music, showing her smiling brightly with the children and behaving cheerfully and energetically in the studio.
In response to the stylish production featuring "Big Sister Azuki," people have been posting comments on social media such as, "Once again, I'm so sad that Big Sister Azuki is graduating," "The graduation version of Big Sister Azuki made me cry," "They're trying to make me cry!!," "My tear ducts have been breaking since this morning," and "She's really graduating."
