In the 54th episode (aired June 11th) 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 68.4% at 8:12 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.
◇Failed to reach the 70% mark, indicating somewhat low levels of attention.
In episode 54, thanks to the devoted nursing of Rin (Mikami) and Naomi (Uesaka), Setsu's (Murakami Honoka) health began to improve. One day, Gonda (Umegaki Yoshiaki) came again, but something about him had changed. Meanwhile, Tada (Tsutsui Michitaka), the director of Teito Medical University Hospital, was putting a certain plan into action.
The level of attention on this day showed three distinct peaks, creating a highly volatile graph that fluctuated between the 50% and 60% range. However, it was a somewhat subdued episode, never reaching 70%.
◇What was the plan the hospital director had prepared? The conversation with the deputy director that came to light was the peak of the scandal.
The peak of the day was 68.4% at 8:12 AM. This was the moment when it became clear what Tada, who had occasionally appeared with a somewhat stern expression, was thinking, perhaps plotting something or troubled by something.
When Tada returned, Vice Director Watanabe (played by Morita Kanro) presented him with a "Nursing Department Establishment Plan." It appears they are planning to establish a nursing department at Teito Medical University Hospital.
After quickly glancing over it, Tada confirmed, "Yes, this should be fine," to which Watanabe replied, "Then we'll proceed with the plan to establish the nursing department next year." What's concerning is what Tada said next: "We can inform Umeoka Nursing School once it's officially decided," and "I'm sorry to them, but we'll have to end our acceptance of trainees here."
Furthermore, when Watanabe asked, "What will happen to the trainees who are here now?", Tada replied, "Well, we'll see how that goes." What will become of Rin, Naomi, and the other nursing apprentices? It was a chilling scene that gave the feeling that a storm was about to hit. (Text by Hiroki Sasamoto/MANTANWEB)
