What was the most captivating scene in the 92nd episode (broadcast on August 5th) of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), 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, we found that the highest attention level (survey by REVISIO, Kanto region, preliminary figures) was 76.3% at 8:12 AM, when cafe worker Meiko ( Nanoka Hara) is reunited with Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi).
"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 92, Ranko (Yuumi Kawai) moves to Tokyo for work and moves in with Meiko. A few days later, Nobu (Imada) is waiting for Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) at the cafe where Meiko works, when Takashi arrives with Kentaro.
◇The highest point was at 8:12 a.m. Meiko's excitement made viewers excited.
The interest rate for the 92nd episode was slightly low in the first half. It started to increase from 8:07 AM and reached its peak at 12 minutes. This was right after Meiko, who had come over to Nobu's table to deliver coffee, noticed Kentaro with him and was so surprised that she froze up. With her eyes wide open, Meiko could not hide her shock and asked, "Huh?" and "G-gulp-gulp, what would you like to order?" in an adorable way.
Viewers who knew Meiko's feelings for Kentaro could predict this development about two minutes before Kentaro arrived at the cafe, and could be expected to watch with excitement. When Taka says, "Meiko's dream is to appear on 'Amateur Singing Contest,'" Kentaro encourages her, saying, "There's a qualifying round coming up, why don't you try?"
After peaking at 12 minutes, the level of interest drops rapidly, hitting a low of 68.7% at 14 minutes, before rebounding slightly to 69.8% at 15 minutes. Meiko receives singing lessons from Takuya Ise(Motoki Omori), a customer at the cafe, in preparation for the singing contest. Just before the end, Ise Takuya Takuya Ise predicts her feelings, saying, "The person I like told me about the qualifying round. That's why I really want to pass," and Meiko is surprised, saying, "Why, you?"
Furthermore, Takuya teases her by saying, "If you pass, I'll tell you how I feel inside," to which she responds with a shocked, "Huh?" and the drama ends. Here too, the change in Hara's expression as Meiko is heartwarming. It seems that episode 92 was dedicated to Meiko.
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.
