The 14th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , aired on April 16th, and viewers were captivated by the scene in which Lieutenant Kohinata Eisuke (Kitsuo Fujiwara) confesses his feelings to Naomi (Uesaka).
Naomi, who has become a waitress at the Rokumeikan, is approached by Kohinata who tells her, "I'll be waiting for you in front of the newspaper office in Nihonbashi at 2 PM on the 11th." When Naomi waits at the agreed-upon location, Yoshie (Taizo Harada) appears, causing her to panic, but she manages to cover it up and go on a date with Kohinata.
Kohinata said, "Your hair is so pretty," and gave Naomi a hair ornament as a gift. When he put it in her hair, his hand accidentally touched Naomi's, and the two of them laughed together, looking embarrassed. As they parted ways, Kohinata asked Naomi, "Would you go out with me?" The episode ended with a shot of Naomi's surprised expression.
On social media, various comments were made, such as "The lieutenant is being very proactive," "He's really coming on strong," "He's falling in love at lightning speed," "Naomi definitely likes him too," "Something seems fishy... Is he really a Navy lieutenant?", "Am I the only one who feels a little uneasy?", "No... Isn't this a bit too soon? It's a little suspicious," and "I'm already worried about what will happen when Naomi's lie is exposed."
