High School, which she had attended in her teenage years, to interview Tadashi Sahara, a 94-year-old ex-science teacher of the school who had taught her. He talked in this interview how he had lived his tough life during World War II. On July 19, 2019, Omi and Hakatas conducted a live interview with Hiroshi Kume, legendary radio personality and former anchor for News Station in TV Asahi who had been critical of NHK. While Kume blistered NHK severely in the interview, saying, "I think NHK should turn into a private broadcasting company. It should be an independent broadcasting organization. There shouldn't be such a broadcasting station that is got by the balls by the state with its power on personnel affairs and budget. Such a thing should never happen in a developed country," Omi talked back to him on behalf of NHK, saying, "You're saying NHK is got by the balls by the state. However, I'm in an independent public broadcasting station. It's not state-run broadcasting. I'll do my best, for not playing up to anybody." The next day when Kume was talking on his radio program about the progress of Asaichi on the day before, Omi sent an email to the radio station incognito, saying that she was ashamed to be aggressive to him, just like a chihuahua barking at a bigger Doberman. Kume praised her polite and sincere attitude and said in his program, "She has impressed me favorably since she appeared in Bura Tamori. She is cute and is faithful to her job. I want to invite her to this program. I'm afraid she won't come here, though." On August 7, 2019, Omi was a temporary host for primetime health program Gatten! in place of its regular presenters Shinosuke Tatekawa and Fumie Ono. It was the first time in 17 years that she appeared in this program. She was just a junior high school student when she appeared in the program airing on November 26, 2002, as one of the examinees. In October 2019, Omi conducted an interview with Catherine Deneuve, Juliette Binoche and Hirokazu Kore-eda, who starred and directed the film The Truth selected as the opening film at the 76th Venice International Film Festival. This interview was broadcast in Asaichi on October 21. Not only did Omi star on TV programs, but she sometimes appeared on websites run by NHK. On the website encouraging viewers
