In the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday, 8:00 AM, etc.), Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , what were the scenes that most captivated viewers in episodes 64 and 65 (both broadcast on NHK General on June 27)? 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 in front of their televisions. The peaks were 63.8% at 8:08-8:09 AM for episode 64 and 67.9% at 8:25 AM for episode 65.
Episode 64, originally scheduled to air on June 25th, was cancelled due to an earthquake alert. There was no broadcast on June 26th due to World Cup coverage, so episodes 64 and 65 were aired consecutively on June 27th.
" 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.
◇A long-awaited reunion with Kiyo
In episode 64, Kiyo (Akiko Kikuchi) comes to the hospital one day. Rin (Mikami) and Tae (Erika Ikuta) are happy to see her again after so long, but Kiyo is worried about Tsuya (Ayaka Higashino). Naomi (Uesaka) meets Shimaken (Masaya Sano) at a dumpling shop.
In episode 65, Rin (Mikami) meets Shimaken (Sano Masaya) at a dumpling shop and reads his novel. Meanwhile, Naomi (Uesaka) is stopped by Ogawa (Kai Shoma), who has come to visit her in the hospital. Amidst all this, Tsuya (Higashino Ayaka) causes a certain incident.
◇She tries to mend the relationship between the nurse and the student with dumplings, but...
The peak of the 64th episode, at 8:08 AM (63.8%), was the scene where Naomi brings dango (rice dumplings) to the nurses' station in an attempt to mediate between the nurses and the nursing students. Everyone gratefully accepts the dango, but of course, that's not enough to make the two groups friends. Nurse Nagata Fuyu (played by Nekozawa Tsubaki) scolds Rin and Naomi, saying, "You're being naive to think you can mediate with this."
At 8:09 a.m. (63.8%), Fuyu grumbles, "If young, talented students are joining the nursing department every year, maybe we should start looking for different jobs," and leaves the nurses' station.
◇ Following Tsuya's dismissal, Rin and Naomi negotiate with Director Tada.
The peak of the 65th episode was at 8:25 AM (67.9%). It began when Tsuya, a nurse who made a mistake in her caregiving duties, was fired by Director Tada (Michitaka Tsutsui) of Teito Medical University Hospital and left the director's office. When Naomi, who had learned of the dismissal, entered the director's office, she found Itarin, who had been there from the beginning, desperately resisting Director Tada. "Our hospital has a policy of reducing the number of nurses," "Didn't we know this would happen once nurses like you were created?" Director Tada delivered the harsh "reality." He added, "We intend to continue to open the path for nurses to become registered nurses," to which Naomi retorted, "Isn't that just for show? You're setting conditions that are impossible to fulfill," and this was around the 25-minute mark. (Text by Hiroki Sasamoto/MANTANWEB)
