In the 33rd episode (aired May 13th) 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 68.7% at 8:04 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.
◇The peak scene is when Naomi searches for Rin and runs around the hospital.
In episode 33, Sonobe (Yoshihiro Nozoe), who suddenly complained of pain, undergoes a second surgery which is successful, but Rin (Mikami) is relieved of her duties. While she is troubled about what she lacked in her nursing, Naomi (Uesaka) informs her that Sonobe has been discharged. Meanwhile, Shimaken (Masaya Sano) is encouraged by his friend Makimura (Yuta Hayashi) to submit his manuscript to the editorial department.
The "attention level," which indicates the percentage of viewers glued to their screens, peaked somewhat early on, but remained in the 50% range for most of the time from the middle of the episode onward. It was as if this reflected Rin's depressed mood. The highest value of the day also failed to reach the 70% range for the first time in nine episodes.
At the peak time of 8:04 AM (68.7%), Sonobe, having completed his second surgery, leaves his hospital room accompanied by his wife and others to be discharged. Upon learning this, Naomi rushes around the hospital searching for Rin. She asks other nursing interns who are doing their practical training if they have seen Rin and checks the nurses' station. However, Rin is nowhere to be found. That's where the 4-minute mark ends. Shortly after the 8:05 AM mark begins, Naomi finally finds Rin hanging up washed bandages, and Rin "apologizes" to Sonobe, but the level of attention has dropped to 64.9%.
