The 23rd 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 29th, and viewers were captivated by the scene in which Naomi (Uesaka) cuts her hair.
In episode 23, a flashback scene was shown of Naomi cutting her hair. Naomi, having learned that the Navy Lieutenant Kohinata, whom she was considering marrying, was actually the con artist Kanta (Kitsusuke Fujiwara), was so shocked that she cut her own hair with scissors in a church. Seeing this, Yoshie (Taizo Harada) burst into tears, saying, "She had such beautiful hair...", and trimmed the hair at the back of Naomi's head.
The drama's official Twitter account (@asadora_nhk) explained, "Teacher Yoshie cuts Naomi's hair while crying... Ms. Uesaka, who plays Naomi, cut her own hair for this scene." It was revealed that she cut her own hair, not a wig.
On social media, comments included "Was that her own hair!?", "I can't believe it was her real hair", "She's so determined", and "I can feel her acting spirit", as well as "This scene made me cry so much", "I almost cried when I saw Ms. Yoshie's tears", "Ms. Yoshie is so comforting", "It really touched me", and "Ms. Yoshie's kind tears are so moving..."
