The 68th 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 July 1st. In this episode, Chuzo Maruyama, nicknamed "Chu" (played by Tokie Wakabayashi), made a report to Rin (Mikami) and Naomi (Uesaka), which became a topic of discussion among viewers.
Naomi is moving into a new house with Rin's family, and Chu comes to help with the move. Chu tells Rin and Naomi that he has taken over the dumpling shop from the old man.
He continued, "I'm getting old and want to retire, but they asked me to take over because there's no one else to do it. It's not a bad offer, and I'm thinking of trying my luck here in Tokyo with my favorite sweets!" He added, "Please come every day. I've already thought of something that will make you both happy!"
On social media, comments included: "Congratulations Chu!", "Well done Chu!", "He's so capable, being put in charge of the dumpling shop and even helping with the move", "Chu's really made it big—when did he become the shop owner?", "Chu's on the rise (lol)", "It's great to see Chu so lively", and "Chu is such a sweet and innocent boy."
