In the 58th episode (aired June 17th) of the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday, 8:00 AM, etc.), Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , what scene captivated viewers the most? We examined the minute-by-minute changes in "attention level" (according to REVISIO, Kanto region, preliminary figures), which indicates the percentage of viewers glued to the screen, and found that the peak was 68.1% at 8:10 AM.
" Kaze,Kaoru" is based on the story of two trained nurses, Chika Ozeki and Masa Suzuki, who graduated from the same nursing school. The drama depicts how these two women struggle with how to interact with patients and doctors, clash with each other, grow as individuals, and eventually become the "ultimate buddy duo." Mikami plays Rin Ichinose, and Uesaka plays Naomi Oya.
The data used is REVISIO's proprietary "Attention Level" index (Kanto region, preliminary figures), which surveys program and commercial viewing habits in 2,000 households in the Kanto region and 600 households in the Kansai region. A dedicated device equipped with a human recognition sensor constantly measures whether people are looking at the television screen, and calculates the percentage of people in front of the television who were paying close attention to the program.
◇A trip to Yokohama to create lasting memories of student life
In episode 58, six nursing interns, including Rin (Ai Mikami), Naomi (Juri Kosaka Uesaka), and Tae (Erika Ikuta), are summoned by Dr. Burns (Emma Howard). Afterwards, at Shinobu's (Akira Kigoshi) suggestion, the six decide to go to Yokohama to create one last memory of their student life.
The level of attention on this day fluctuated wildly, creating several peaks of varying sizes on the graph, but ultimately it never reached the 70% mark before the show ended.
◇The peak is the morning when everyone goes to Yokohama.
The most attention-grabbing moment was at 8:10 AM (68.1%), during a scene depicting six nursing trainees taking a day off together to go to Yokohama. With "Railway Song" playing in the background, the six girls are getting ready to leave from their dorm room. In the Asadora"The Tiger and Her Wings" (first half of 2024), episode 28 featured a scene where the heroine, Torako (Sairi Ito Ito), goes to the beach with her classmates from Myungryul University, including Kaori (Ha Yeon-soo soo). Could Yuki (Tomomi Nakai), who gave up on becoming a nurse midway through, also be joining them this time? Listening to this music, it's hard not to get excited and let your imagination run wild.
Tae and Shinobu look in the mirror and fix their hair. Shinobu shows off her "imported handkerchief," saying it's popular among the ladies of Yokohama. Tome (Rin Harashima) tries to bring lots of food, including apples, but everyone stops her, and she reluctantly gives up. And it was within 10 minutes that Naomi and Tae, who had come from the dormitory, joined Rin and Tamaki (Ema) who were waiting in front of the dumpling shop.
◇The scene where Burns speaks to the six people also garnered significant attention.
Incidentally, the moments when Dr. Burns gathered the six nursing apprentices and told them they would be teaching nursing in Scotland (67.7%) and when the six were treated to their first cup of coffee at a dumpling shop (67.2%) also garnered relatively high attention.
