Actress Momoko Fukuchi stars in the NHK nighttime drama "Radio Star" (NHK General, Monday-Thursday 10:45 PM). In the 17th episode on April 27th, Kanade (Fukuchi) comes up with the idea of temporarily reopening the diner that Sumino (Keiko Miyata) ran before the earthquake.
"Radio Star" is a nonstop entertainment drama set in Noto, depicting how an ordinary citizen becomes a star. The theme song is "A Boat Full of Happiness," written and composed by Yumi Matsutoya and sung by MISIA.
In episode 17, Kanade receives a request for an interview from a newspaper, but at Kanade's request, everyone accepts the interview together.
Radio Star discusses the theme of "memorable flavors." A listener mentions Kinugasa-don, a rice bowl dish from the diner Sumino ran before the earthquake. Wanting to revive that flavor, Kanade suggests opening "Sumino Diner" for one day only. While helping with the preparations, Kanade listens to Sumino's strong feelings for Noto.
