The 40th 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 May 22nd, and the preview for the 9th week, "The Nurse and the Candy," which was released after the main episode, attracted the attention of viewers.
In episode 40, Rin (Mikami) is given permission by Chikako (Nakama Yukie) to attend a surgery "for educational purposes." However, Rin is not convinced by this reason, and Naomi (Uesaka) also says, "Maybe she lied to you." The episode ends with Rin visiting Chikako's hospital room.
The preview for week 9, released after the broadcast, begins with a scene of surgical professor Imai (Yuta Furukawa) and others performing surgery. Rin and Naomi are also present, seemingly observing the surgery. Over the scene, Rin's voice can be heard saying, "Please teach me how to assist in surgery." Rin pleads with nurse Fuyu (Tsubaki Nekozawa), "I want to become a nurse who can work in the operating room," to which Fuyu replies, "If you pay me."
The scene changes, and Rin and Naomi are nursing a man. According to the show's official website, this man is Kosuke, the husband of Fuyu, played by Jiro from the comedy duo "Sissonne," and he is at home because he is unable to work due to an injury. It seems that Rin and Naomi will visit Fuyu's house on their day off and take on the task of nursing Kosuke.
Other scenes shown included Yasushi (Hayasaka Miharu) stopping an exchange between Shimaken (Sano Masaya) and Makimura (Hayashi Yuta), and Kanta (Fujiwara Kisetsu) telling Naomi, "You'll regret this, don't blame me."
On social media, comments included: "What's going on with the preview for next week?!", "There's so much information!", "Looks like there'll be a lot going on next week too!", "It looks like there's going to be some kind of trouble!", "It's making me uneasy!", "Jiro-san in the preview! I was surprised!", "Sissonne Jiro-san's presence is extraordinary!", and "I'm even more excited because Jiro-san will be in it!"
