The story
A steamy kiss scene between former Morning Musume。’14 member Riho Sayashi and co-star Sakurako Konishi in the late-night drama “Would It Be Okay If I Went Out With You?” has become a hot topic on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. The show is based on a manga featuring same-sex romance, and the buzz kicked off after the official account posted a clip ahead of broadcast. Reactions in the thread were split — from doubts that the image was faked (‘is this photoshopped?’) to fans shrugging it off with ‘she’s not an idol anymore,’ to comments noting the show’s viewing reservations lag behind other dramas. Word of Sayashi’s newly announced 7th live tour, revealed around the same time, also came up in the discussion.

Apparently that's really Sayashi, from a scene in the lesbian drama.
She's not an idol anymore, so…
This would cause a huge stir if it happened today, huh.
Knew it was coming.
And right after this she does a smug double peace sign.
Kudo's currently in a BL (boys' love) drama too.
Rino Sashihara actually had to apologize for doing the same thing in the past.
If Sayumi Michishige hadn't retired, she'd probably be stuck having to apologize for her past too.
Is this lesbian drama gonna be okay?

Regretting why I ever looked down on the wolves.
That'd be Sayu, wouldn't it?
Background and Key Points
“Would It Be Okay If I Went Out With You?” is a late-night live-action adaptation of a manga featuring same-sex romance, starring Riho Sayashi and Sakurako Konishi. Sayashi graduated from Morning Musume。’14 in 2014 and has since been building a career as an actress. The thread’s split opinions centered on how to read the kiss scene between the two women: some praised it as strong acting, while others pointed out that the show’s viewing reservations trail those of dramas on other networks, and debate also broke out over costuming that faithfully recreated the manga’s hairstyles. The backdrop includes a recent wave of dramas centered on same-sex relationships, with posters drawing comparisons to BL (boys’ love) works featuring other Hello! Project alumni. Details outside the thread itself, such as the official broadcaster or ratings, are not included in the material for this article.
