The 50th 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 June 5th, and the preview for the 11th week, "Nagi ni Soyogu," which was released after the main episode, attracted the attention of viewers.
In episode 50, as Naomi (Uesaka) is nursing the prostitute Yuunagi (Murakami Honoka), Gonda (Umegaki Yoshiaki), the owner of the brothel, appears and tries to forcibly take Yuunagi away. After Yoshi (Akeboshi Mayumi) cleverly gets Gonda to leave, Rin (Mikami) heads to Mizuho-ya, desperate to save Yuunagi, and consults with Usaburo (Bando Yajuro). Usaburo shows Rin a newspaper article introducing an anti-prostitution activist who is promoting the free retirement of prostitutes. Rin says, "I'm going to go meet this person," and hurries out of Mizuho-ya.
The preview for week 11, released after the broadcast, begins with Principal Kajiwara (Ise Shima) announcing, "Umeoka Nursing School will be closing down." Rin, Naomi, and the other first-year students look surprised.
On social media, comments included: "The announcement gives off an ominous vibe," "Closing down?! Weren't they preparing for the next recruitment?", "No way! Didn't they say new people would be joining next year?", "Did they not get a single second-generation recruit?", "Maybe the problem was that they tried to help the prostitutes escape," "What's going on?", and "I can't wait until Monday!"
