Ashida&#8217;s &#8220;crying performance&#8221; has long been said to be superb. In the special drama &#8220;Ending Cut&#8221; (NHK) broadcast last year, she played Yui, a high school girl who grows up while dealing with death through her father Kazutoshi (Ryuta Sato), who works as an &#8220;ending cut&#8221; artist, setting the deceased&#8217;s hair before the coffin is delivered. She played the role of Yui, a high school girl who grows up while dealing with the death of a person.
 At the climax of the film, Yui, who had been crying like a child because she could not accept the death of her mother Nanami (Ryoko Hirosue), quietly shed tears as she accepted her separation from her mother. That scene was captivating. Ashida&#8217;s acting ability to express not only her &#8220;crying performance&#8221; but also her emotional conflicts with her eyes and her appearance is enough to make her a dignified actress,&#8221; said a producer from a production company.
 Ashida&#8217;s starting point as an actress was the drama &#8220;Mother&#8221; (NTV) broadcast in 2010.
 In this shocking drama, Nao (Yasuko Matsuyuki), who is assigned as a homeroom teacher at an elementary school in Hokkaido, learns that her student Reinan (Ashida) is being abused by his parents and, determined to become a parent, kidnaps Reinan and heads for Tokyo. When scriptwriter Yuji Sakamoto saw Ashida, who was only 5 years old at the time of the audition, he said
 &#8220;She is the only one who can play the role of Reina.
 Ashida was only 5 years old when she auditioned for the role of Reina. Ashida won numerous awards for this work, including the &#8220;65th The Television Drama Academy Award&#8221; for Best Newcomer. It was truly a shocking debut for the child prodigy Ashida Mana.
 Ashida says that she is too embarrassed to watch films in which she has appeared, but this film is the only one that she would like to watch all at once, starting from the beginning. After rewatching the film, the scene where she murmurs to Nao over the phone, &#8216;Kidnap me again,&#8217; caught her attention, and she confesses that she &#8216;naturally burst into tears&#8217; and &#8216;that night I couldn&#8217;t sleep'&#8221; (producer, above).
 Aina Ashida met &#8220;Mother,&#8221; a drama written by Yuji Sakamoto, when she was five years old. She herself said, &#8220;If I hadn&#8217;t done this work, I wouldn&#8217;t have fallen asleep.
 &#8220;If I had not done this work, I might have become a different Ashida Mana,&#8221; she said.
 She said, &#8220;If I had not done this drama, I might have become a different Ashida Ashina.
