What was the most captivating scene in the 91st episode (broadcast on August 4th) of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada ? When we looked at minute-by-minute trends in "attention level," which indicates the degree to which viewers were glued to the screen, the highest attention level (surveyed by REVISIO, Kanto region) was at 8:12 AM, at 70.7%, when Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) confides his jealousy and frustration towards the talent of the genius manga artist Teshima Osamu (Gordon Maeda) to Nobu (Imada).
"Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013), the manga artist and picture book writer who created "Anpanman," and his wife Nobu (1918-1993). It is a "story of love and courage" that will fill you with the joy of living, depicting how these two, who were once nobodys, overcame all sorts of troubles to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."
In episode 91, Nobu is busy working as a secretary for the congresswoman Tetsuko (Toda Keiko). Taka has also become a respected figure in the advertising department of Samsung Department Store. One day, Taka is tasked with drawing a poster for a play. While they are having a meeting at a cafe, a young man who calls himself Takuya Ise(Motoki Omori) approaches them... Meanwhile, Taka begins to feel anxious after reading a manga by Teshima Osamu.
◇The highest point was at 8:12 AM, and the 8th and 9th minutes also attracted viewers at the same level.
At the peak at 8:12 AM, Nobu Takano, expressing his impatience, snaps, "You can't be so rude." He shows him an advertisement in a weekly magazine and encourages him to submit his manga. It's a great moment that shows the caring relationship between the two.
By the way, the times when Taka reports to Nobu that he met Takuya Ise and will be writing a poster for the play, 8:08 a.m. (70.5%), and when Tetsuko and Nobu coordinate their dinner schedules, were also high (70.6%).
The data used was a proprietary index called "attention level" published by REVISIO, a company that surveys TV 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 body recognition sensor constantly measures whether people are looking at the TV screen, and calculates the percentage of people in front of the TV who are paying close attention to the program.
