DONUTS Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hiroshige Nishimura) announced that episodes 24-37 of its original drama series 'Kota Okada 35-sai, Motesugite Komattemasu.' (scheduled for 49 episodes in total) will begin distribution today, May 4, 2026 (Monday/Holiday), at 7:00 PM, on "TateDora," a vertical short-drama app developed and operated by the company.
This work stars Kota Okada, a highly acclaimed comedian whose 37,000-yen rent home in Minato-ku, Tokyo, became a hot topic, and whose YouTube channel 'Okada wo Oe!!' (https://www.youtube.com/@okadawooe_green) has surpassed 860,000 subscribers. It is a new-sense romance drama that blurs the lines between reality and fiction, making viewers wonder "what is real and what is fiction?" through its collaboration between YouTube and the drama. The female cast members attracted to Okada include Kasumi Mori, Miku Ichinose (Nogizaka46), Maki Fukuda (3-ji no Heroine), Kei Fuki, and NICO (Heisei Flamingo), all playing "themselves." Additionally, Mari Hoshino appears as a "nearly herself" character, an "older sister from the neighborhood who I've always admired," a dream many have.
After the drama's distribution began on April 20 (Monday), "TateDora" entered the top 10 in the App Store's Entertainment category for free apps. Notably, it secured the #1 position among domestic short-drama apps. Furthermore, SNS-related video views have exceeded 33 million, indicating the high level of attention and expectation for this work.
In episodes 12-23, distributed last week, Kasumi Mori, Miku Ichinose (Nogizaka46), and NICO (Heisei Flamingo) appeared, along with Maki Fukuda (3-ji no Heroine), Kei Fuki, and Mami Hoshioka (played by Mari Hoshino), depicting Okada enjoying his biggest "popular phase" ever. Enjoy the unstoppable "popular phase" in episodes 24-37, which begin distribution today!

■ Highlights of the Scenes
In episodes 24-37 of "#Okamote," Kota Okada is bewildered by a serious life consultation from Kasumi Mori, whom he invited to a luxurious mansion. Mami Hoshioka (Mari Hoshino) then expresses her romantic interest by reciting a tanka poem! Kei Fuki then invites him on a pool date, leading to sweet temptation... and then Maki Fukuda appears, boldly declaring herself a rival in love! Okada Kota's "popular phase" seems endless, and the second half has finally begun! Be sure to watch it.
■ Synopsis
In a quiet, old apartment with 37,000 yen rent in a prime location in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Kota Okada is diligently filming for his YouTube channel 'Okada wo Oe!!' when he suddenly receives a DM. It's from Kasumi Mori. She wants to collaborate on YouTube...
Starting with this, women, including Miku Ichinose of Nogizaka46, visit his apartment one after another, making intense advances. The number of women is six.
Are they in love with "Okada in the video" when the camera is rolling? Or are they attracted to "the real Okada" he shows when the camera stops?
As the story unfolds, linked with actual YouTube videos, the women's struggle for him escalates. Okada, though bewildered, tries to enjoy his "popular phase," but the situation accelerates into an irreversible "love."
"Is this material for YouTube, or a real confession?"
Viewers become witnesses to a "love that seems like a lie but is true" unfolding on their smartphone screens.
Who will be the fated person Okada ultimately chooses?
