After the accidental death of his elder brother at sea, Koji leaves his job as a cram school instructor in Tokyo and returns to his hometown to help his father with the family kelp-harvesting business. Unable to please his demanding, old-fashioned father, Koji faces a crisis of confidence and becomes uncertain about his future. Meanwhile, Koji's elder sister returns home after becoming pregnant while in an illicit love affair. Under these trying circumstances, tensions between family members grow. As the annual summer festival approaches, the father, after too many drinks, angrily confronts his children about the paths they have chosen in life. This emotional showdown allows each family member to communicate suppressed feelings, and finally, after a long separation, the family is reunited.

| 1pm | Cast:Yo Oizumi, Shigeyuki Sato, Mami Sato, Oklahoma, etc.
Starring “The Star of the North,” aka Yo Oizumi, “The Mister Not-Quite of the North,” aka Shigeyuki Sato, and “The Iron Stomach,” aka HTB announcer Mami Sato, this show follows the journey of the “Pig Family” as they go around Japan in search of the most delicious and scrumptious foods in the country. Riding in their Onigiri box car, they go from town to town, stopping by to eat, and then riding again until their next destination. To relieve the stress of traveling and the tension of their stomachs, the cast also goes full force with their hilarious conversations and occasional recreation stops. Make sure to catch Oizumi’s music videos where he sings his favorite songs at beautiful landmarks. A gourmet food fight and a totally new kind of food entertainment show coming straight out of Hokkaido – this is Onigiri. You can enjoy the show not just for its local topics about Hokkaido but also as a guide for popular food and travel spots all over Japan. The second half of the show follows the comedy duo, Oklahoma (Kawano and Fujio), as they go on their journey to promote Onigiri at every single town in Hokkaido. Kawano and Fujio go on separate routes to promote the show, each of them using bingo to decide their next destination. Their method of transportation – hitchhiking. Once they reach their destinations, they either go to a Lawson convenience store to put up the show’s poster there, or if the town doesn’t have a Lawson, they go to the most popular place in town. When will they conquer Hokkaido?

Nana found out the fact that Mio really likes Ren and she explodes intense jealousy. Nana insists Mio to stay away from him or she would reveal to the public the fact that Mio is a girl. Mio loses her words and is confused about her feeling. She feels sick and goes home early, but she doesn’t get better. Ren, Shu, and Yuki worry about Mio. That night, Ren, who concerns her physical condition, finds out that Mio has a high fever and takes her to the hospital. However, Mio refuses examination because she is afraid that the fact that she is a girl would be revealed through the examination and that would cause A.N.JELL trouble. Ren considers how Mio feels and takes her home and takes care of her all night. In the next morning, Ren told Mio that he would protect her. Mio is impressed by what he said but what Nana had told Mio makes her worry. Sure enough, Nana tells Mio to make an announcement that she is a girl in the event of her debut. In such, Ren gives Mio girl’s dresses as a gift. That makes her sad rather than happy. Mio who is exhausted by all means of intimidation cooks dinner for the other three members on the eve of the premiere event with a determination what she is going to do.
