Emole Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Naomichi Sawamura, hereinafter "emole"), which operates the short drama app "BUMP," will exclusively stream the BUMP original short drama "My Oshi is My Child." from 19:00 on May 1, 2026 (Friday).
"I want him to become an idol who illuminates someone, just like my oshi." Mayuko, a housewife who was exhausted from childcare and saved by an idol, entrusts her dream to her 6-year-old child and sends him to a child actor audition program. What started as pure parental affection begins to escalate into madness when a chance to "co-star with her beloved 'oshi'" is announced on the program.
This work is a human drama depicting the painful and raw ego of a stage mother who tries to raise her child into a top child actor. Will the mother's excessive expectations, borne by her son, and the mother intoxicated by her dreams lead to glory or rock bottom? And what kind of ending awaits after everything seemed to collapse?
It is a painful yet humorous and tear-jerking story of a parent and child, brought about by a parent's desire for recognition and overly straightforward love.
■A runaway mother, a son trying to meet expectations. The absolute idol who triggers the madness intersects.
The greatest appeal of this work is the distorted relationship between parent and child created by blind love, and the presence of the "oshi" within the drama that accelerates that madness. Playing the main character Mayuko Tachibana is Sakurako Mizuki, who appeared in Netflix's "This is I" and whose short film "Tokyo Meteor Shower," in which she played the heroine, won the Governor of Tokyo Award in the Cinematic Tokyo section of the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2024, accumulating solid achievements in the film industry. She also has numerous commercial appearances and is widely active, while on stage, she expands her range of expression through encounters with directors and works. In this work, she takes on the difficult role of a housewife, saved by the idol KYOYA during her childcare fatigue, who drives her son into the entertainment world based on the conviction that "this child can become a star." She delicately portrays Mayuko's inner world, where pure affection, obsessive longing for her oshi, and a gradually distorted maternal self overlap in three layers of emotion.
Playing the son, Hinata Tachibana, is Shoma Kotobuki, a promising young child actor belonging to Horipro Star Studio. He has a variety of special skills including singing, piano, classical ballet, Japanese dance, jazz dance, and tap dance, and this will be his first appearance in a short drama. He embodies the wavering mind and body of a 6-year-old boy who challenges auditions with the sole desire to meet his mother's expectations, and while starting to shine brightly, is gradually eroded by excessive pressure.
Furthermore, the theme song for this work is "Ottamage" by the male boy group "Yogayonara!!!" which is gaining attention as a "serious type of playful group." It further emphasizes the uniqueness of the deepening parent-child relationship and the unexpected dark ending. In addition, Ryosuke Soeda, a member of the group, also appears in the main story as the absolute idol KYOYA, who enthralls Mayuko and distorts the fate of the mother and son.
Please look forward to this rich human drama, woven by a cast of unique and talented actors, where laughter, pain, and earnestness coexist.
