Kumiko Aso was spotted on location for “Bokutachi no Ie!　Onlookers sigh at the comedienne’s “enigmatic woman” performance.

Onlookers couldn’t help but say, “How good!

On a rainy night in late October, a drama was being filmed on location on a sidewalk in Shinjuku 3-chome, Tokyo. Kumiko Aso, 47, was waiting under a large umbrella held by a staff member for the filming to be ready.

She was filming for “Bokutachi no Ie” (Nippon Television). Aso plays the mother of junior high school student Kusunoki Hotaru, played by Shiratori Tamaoki (15). She plays a mysterious mother who embezzles company money for some reason and is on the run.

Speaking of Aso, she has appeared in the “Jiken Keisatsu” series (TV Asahi), “Oliver the Dog,” “Gosh! series (NHK Sogo), and her talent as a comedienne was highly acclaimed. In “Omusubi,” a TV series from the second half of last year, she gave a fine performance as Aiko Yoneda, the mother of the heroine, Yoneda Yui, played by Kanna Hashimoto (26).

Aiko spent her teenage years as a pioneering gal, ran away from home, met Seito (Kitamura Yukiya, 51), and married him. After raising her daughter, Aiko uses her talent for drawing to start a blog and become a farmer. Her strength lies in her ability to handle both comedic and serious roles,” said a TV magazine writer.

On this day, Aso looked nervous from beginning to end, perhaps because she was preparing for her role. When the call came to start, she began walking in the rain with a somewhat melancholy expression on her face. One of the spectators watching the filming from the other side of the sidewalk let out a sigh and said, “That’s good!

Aso, in playing the role now,

This is the first time for me to play a role that has caused as many problems as this one, so I am looking forward to it while worrying about how I will play the role,” he said on the official website of the NTV program.

(NTV’s official website).

The drama itself is a comedy with three main cast members including Mitsuhiro Oikawa (56) and Yuya Tegoshi (37), but it will be interesting to see how Aso will interact with them and create a chemical reaction.
