Born in the first year of Heisei (1989), Yui Yoneda was influenced by the somewhat outdated Gyaru culture during her high school years. Despite her aspiration to become a nutritionist, she never forgets her Gyaru spirit and navigates through the Heisei era with determination.[2]
NHK offered the role of Yui, the heroine, to Kanna Hashimoto. However, as her schedule was already full with the London performances of the stage play Spirited Away and filming for the sequel of the Kingdom movie series, her agency initially planned to decline the offer. Nevertheless, NHK promised to make every effort to accommodate her existing commitments, and they eventually reached an agreement.[3]
The supporting cast includes many actors and comedians with connections to Fukuoka.[4]
