“Oricon First Half-Year Rankings 2024” were announced on June 24, with “Snow Man” taking first place in four categories: “Single,” “DVD,” “Blu-ray Disc,” and “Music DVD/BD.” Their double A-side single “LOVE TRIGGER/We’ll go together,” released on February 14, sold 1.258 million copies, the only million-seller during the period. This marks their third consecutive first place in the first half-year singles ranking, a historic achievement as the first for a male artist.

“Amidst the sexual misconduct issues at former Johnny’s agency (SMILE-UP.), many affiliated talents suffered damage, but ‘Snow Man’ emerged unscathed. They are now the only group from the former Johnny’s agency with a prime-time slot (7-11 PM) on a key network, hosting their own show ‘Sore Snow Man ni Yarasete Kudasai’ (hereafter ‘Sore Suno,’ TBS). With Arashi on hiatus, they have become the agency’s flagship group.” (Broadcast correspondent)

Recently, Fuji TV has stood out not only for hosting their own flagship programs but also for the versatility of their members. On July 1st, Meguro Ren (27) began starring in the Monday 9 PM drama “Umi no Hajimari” While the first episode didn’t reach double-digit ratings, it achieved a notable 8.0% (according to Video Research, Kanto region), surpassing the previous four dramas in the same time slot. Despite recent average household ratings, which have been lackluster for the Monday 9 PM slot, expectations are high for future growth.

Additionally, Mukai Koji (30) will appear in the drama “Mountain Doctor,” starting on the 8th of the month on Kansai TV and Fuji TV networks. Furthermore, he will portray the character Massaman, born from the variety program “Geinin ga Honki de Kangaeta! Dokkiri GP,” as the main character of Fuji TV’s annual large-scale event “Odaiba Boken-Oh 2024” (from July 20th to August 25th).
