The 20th 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 24th, and the preview for the 5th week, "Tsudoishi Monotachi" (Gathering of Those Who Gather), which was released after the main episode, attracted the attention of viewers.
In episode 20, Rin (Mikami), having safely rescued Tamaki (Miyajima Ruka), returns to Tokyo and reaffirms her determination to become a trained nurse to raise Tamaki to Mitsu (Mizuno Miki). As Rin attends the entrance ceremony for the nursing school, she is approached at the school gate with the words, "I thought a daughter of a samurai family wouldn't become a nurse." Turning around, she sees Naomi (Uesaka) with her hair drastically cut. The episode ends with a shot of Rin's surprised expression as she exclaims, "Naomi! What, your hair!?"
The preview for the fifth week, released after the broadcast, begins with a scene of Rin, Naomi, and the other seven first-year students sitting in a classroom at the Umeoka Girls' School's affiliated nursing school. A woman's voice says, "There are no nursing teachers here." There are also scenes of Tamada Tae, played by Ikuta Erika, saying, "Conversational English and academic English are different," and the seven girls sitting around a large wooden box, laughing and each holding an apple.
New classmates of Rin and Naomi have appeared, and on social media, comments such as "Ikuchan is in the preview!", "Finally, nursing school!", "A new cast of characters!", "The classmates range from glamorous to plain kimono wearers, and seem to be of various ages? I wonder if there will be human drama like in Tora Tsuba", "It's exciting!", and "I can't wait for the story to move forward even more next week."
