Tachikawa lived in a child care institution in Tokyo's Suginami when she was 3 all the way to when she became 18 years old. She said, "There were no girls in the institution who wore cute clothes like Mana Ashida-chan's, and everyone's hair was uniformly cut short. I actually just laughed the drama off since it's just fiction". She proceeded to discuss about the things done to her which were worse than the drama and said that she was "made to stand for a long time with a piece of paper attached to her clothing with the words 'I am stupid' written on it", she was "forced to kneel (seiza) inside a cardboard box for 1 whole night", and was slapped so hard it made her ears ring.
She gave her opinions regarding the council who are asking for a public apology from NTV and are requesting them to modify their script: "Are you people really that great? There really are institutions where cruelty and abuse are occurring. If you've got time to complain about the drama, you should be striving to improve these facilities instead.".
