In the 113th episode (aired September 2nd) 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 74.2% at 8:08 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.
◇Meeting Kanta at a malicious outreach nurses' association
In episode 113, Shinobu (Akira Kigoshi) hears some bad rumors about the outcall nurses and reports them to Rin (Mikami) and Naomi (Uesaka). To find out the truth of the rumors, they visit the association of the unscrupulous outcall nurses, and there they find Kanta (Kisetsu Fujiwara). Naomi visits Yagyu (Tomoya Nakamura) of the Ministry of Home Affairs' Sanitation Bureau to ask for a crackdown.
The viewership rating for the day fluctuated around the high 60s for most of the time, but briefly jumped to the 70s in the middle of the day before quickly returning to the 60s.
◇Naomi and Rin consult with Yagyu
The peak of viewership was at 8:08 AM (74.2%), when Naomi and Rin were about to go and meet Yagyu. Naomi finds Yagyu's business card and tells her colleague, "I just thought of something yesterday, there might be someone who could be helpful." When Rin asks, "Are you going to meet him?", Naomi nods and the scene shifts to Yagyu's office in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Sanitation Bureau. He appears to be busy working, checking whether his subordinates have received their investigation reports. Naomi and Rin are then led into his office, which was around the 8-minute mark.
What kind of work is Yagyu, played by Nakamura, doing now? When he first appeared, he was a patient infected with dysentery, so we didn't really know what he was doing at work, which may have piqued viewers' interest.
At 8:09 AM, when Naomi asks Yagyu to take action, the approval rating returned to its original level at 67.3%, but it dropped further to 64.9% at 8:10 AM, when Yagyu promises to investigate.
Incidentally, the time when Naomi finds Kanta at 8:04 AM, the time when the unscrupulous police nurses are involved, had a viewership rating of 69.6%, just shy of 70%. (Text by Hiroki Sasamoto / MANTANWEB)
