Kip. 58: Music of Hometown

58

Toshio Amano, a shy young part-time student worker at Touzai, is fired because of his difficulty in talking to people. Yamaoka and the "Culture Department Flower Trio" invite him to lunch where Amano explains that he is embarrassed by his Tōhoku accent although he later impresses them with his singing. Yamaoka gets Toshio a job selling roasted sweet potatoes from a street cart but Toshio has trouble attracting customers because he is too shy to call out loudly. Kurita suggests that Toshio sings out in his natural Tōhoku accent which attracts the attention of the neighborhood, making him a success. (Source: Wikipedia)
