In the 52nd episode (aired June Getsuku ) 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 74.7% 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.
◇Gonda attacks Yuunagi's hospital room once again.
In episode 52, thanks to a newspaper article, gifts of encouragement begin arriving one after another at the hospital room of Setsu (Honoka Murakami), also known as "Yunagi." Meanwhile, Gonda (Yoshiaki Umegaki), who read the newspaper, shows up at the hospital room and tries to forcibly take Setsu back, but Rin (Mikami), Naomi (Uesaka), and others manage to avert disaster thanks to their quick thinking.
On this day, the level of attention reached its highest point of 74.7% early on, and then, until the ending, the graph showed a gradual decline, fluctuating up and down in small increments like the teeth of a saw.
◇The peak was a "act" put on by all the nursing trainees.
The most attention-grabbing moment of the day, at 8:04 AM (74.7%), was the scene where Gonda, the owner of a brothel, bursts into Setsu's hospital room after reading a newspaper article. At the 8:04 mark, Gonda pulls off the blankets from Setsu, who still has a fever, saying that she has rested enough, and tries to take her home. Just as Naomi tries to stop him and Gonda begin to grapple with each other, the door suddenly opens.
"Excuse me! The patient is coming in." Izumi Kiyo (Akiko Kikuchi) enters and steps between Gonda and Naomi, asking Gonda, "Excuse me, the stretcher is coming in. Please leave the room." Next, Rin and others enter the room carrying a stretcher with the woman on it. Seeing the woman in her kimono in distress, even Gonda, who had been so angry just moments before, watches quietly.
As Tamada Tae (Ikuta Erika) leaves the room saying, "She has a tachycardia. I'll go get a doctor," Naomi bows to Gonda and says, "The doctor will be here soon. For now, please leave." Gonda reluctantly mutters, "Yunagi, don't get carried away," and leaves.
It turns out the person on the stretcher was actually nursing intern Tome Kudo (Rin Harashima). To get rid of Gonda, Rin consulted with the other nursing interns, and they all put on a little act. Most viewers probably already knew this, but the exchange between the interns as they reveal the truth around 8:05 AM was entertaining. This 8:05 AM segment also garnered a high viewership rating of 72.0%. (Text by Hiroki Sasamoto/MANTANWEB)
