The 70th episode of the NHK morning drama series " Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka, aired on July 3rd, and the interaction between Rin (Asadora ) and Naomi (Uesaka) attracted the attention of viewers.
After undergoing surgery for colon cancer, Yamamoto (Daisuke Honda) was not in good condition, and his wife, Tei (Kayo Ise), expressed her regret to Rin, saying, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have forced him to undergo the surgery. I was such a fool."
After returning home, Rin puts Tamaki (Ema) to bed and then talks with Naomi on the veranda. Rin says that Yamamoto seems to have a hunch that his cancer has metastasized. Naomi murmurs, "I'm sure the family has a lot on their minds..." and then says, "Tell me when it's my turn. I want to do everything I can so I don't have any regrets," expressing her wish that he tell her about his illness.
Meanwhile, Rin said, "I don't really care either way... I just want my mother, Tamaki, Yasu, and Naomi to have no regrets. Because those who are left behind have to keep living, right? So I think it's fine as long as it's the best option for everyone who is going to live."
Upon hearing those words, Naomi responded, "I hadn't thought of that..." and Rin bowed her head and said, "Please." Naomi replied, "Oh, I don't like that. How long are we going to be together?" and Rin laughed, "You're the one who said that, Naomi."
On social media, comments included: "Do you want to know the name of the disease and how long you have left to live?... It's a difficult question," "They both understand how difficult it is to tell someone," "I like how they approach telling someone and how they respect each other," "It's fortunate that we can now choose whether or not to tell the person," "Back in the day, it was normal not to tell people," and "It's really touching to hear Naomi say, 'Tell me when it's my turn.' They're family."
