The seventh 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 7th. In this episode, Ai Mikami and Kazuya from the comedy duo "The Touch" made an appearance, which became a topic of conversation among viewers.
In the seventh episode, Rin marries Okuda Kamekichi (Miura Takahiro), who is 18 years older than her and runs a transportation business, while being watched over by her mother Mitsu (Mizuno Miki), her younger sister Yasu ( Takashi Kobayashi), and Nakamura (Kobayashi Takashi), a former retainer of the Ichinose family. Kamekichi's business partners, Shibataya (Takuya) and Matsunaga (Kazuya), liven up the wedding by performing a "twin joke" asking, "Can you tell which one is Shibataya?"
One day, Shibataya called out to Rin, "Ma'am, could you give this to my husband?" and handed her the "Tochigi Shokusan Shinpo" newspaper. When Rin asked, "Is this a business newspaper?", Matsunaga-ya was surprised and said, "Can't you read it? You're truly the daughter of a chief retainer." After Rin looked through the newspaper, she commented on the article's contents, "This is about you, Shibataya, isn't it? You're amazing, Shibataya," to which he replied, "I'm his younger brother, Matsunaga-ya." Rin gave a wry smile and said, "Sorry."
On social media, comments included: "The Touch are here!", "Their Tochigi accent is so authentic, lol", "As expected, that's Tochigi dialect", "I thought their Tochigi dialect was good, and it turns out they're from the area", "The Touch are so soothing", "They're so calming", "I can't tell them apart lol", and "Is this the first time twins have appeared in a Asadora since ManaKana?".
