In the 66th episode (aired June 29th) 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 their screens, and found that the peak was 72.9% at 8:11 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.
◇The beginning and end of the game were highly exciting and attracted a lot of attention.
In episode 66, after Tsuya (Ayaka Higashino) quits, Rin (Mikami) becomes even more dedicated to her work. Naomi (Uesaka) spots Shimaken (Masaya Sano) at the dumpling shop and tells him about Rin's recent activities, and Shimaken entrusts Naomi with something. Then one day, apprentice Hide (Akana Ikeda) suddenly tells Rin that she's quitting.
The graph for the 66th round of attention shows clear differences depending on the time of day, with one peak reaching over 70% early on and two towards the end, while the middle section remained relatively flat in the high 60% range.
◇The peak was the heartwarming conversation between Shimaken and Naomi.
The peak of the day was the second of three major "peaks," at 8:11 AM (72.9%). Naomi, who was off work, was passing by a nearby dumpling shop with Tamaki (Ema) when they saw Shimaken standing there alone as usual. Naomi told Shimaken about Rin's situation, who had been working busily with a smile on her face since Tsuya quit, to which he muttered, "She's usually so honest, but she's not so honest in that respect." This part was around the 11-minute mark.
The ratings remained in the 70% range, at 71.0% and 8:12 AM. After hearing about Rin's situation, Shimaken suddenly starts folding origami. The scene then shifts to the hospital, where Naomi, who has arrived at work the next morning, asks Rin why she didn't come home the previous night. While Naomi understands Rin's feelings, she cautions her, "There's no point in taking on too much work."
◇Rin was speechless at Hide's harsh pronouncement.
Of the remaining "peaks," the first one occurs at 8:01 AM (71.5%), when Rin introduces Hide (Akana Ikeda), the trainee nurse in charge of a new inpatient.
The final peak was at 8:14 AM (71.6%). Hide comes to Rin in the nurses' station and suddenly declares, "I quit." "If Ms. Ichinose is a good nurse, then I can't be a nurse, and I don't want to be." The episode ends with Rin speechless at Hide's harsh words. (Text by Hiroki Sasamoto/MANTANWEB)
