- "Ojisan to Watashi" (Uncle and Me) – a romance/drama.
- "Soshite, Watashi wa Ojisan ni..." – This phrasing is typical of J-drama or "renai" (romance) series often found on platforms like FOD or Paravi, sometimes with adult themes (R-15/R-18). Many such episodes are individually titled.
- "Hei" might be a mishearing of "Hai" (Yes) or a character's name (e.g., "Hey" as in "Kuroko no Basuke" character, but unlikely here).
