The 48th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , aired on June 3rd, and it has been revealed that the average viewership rating (according to Video Research, Kanto region) was 16.9% for households and 9.4% for individuals.
