<h2> 2 Crowns! TBS took the top spot!</h2>
<p> The <span class="strongInContent">Royal Family&#8221; (TBS)</span>, a horse racing drama series fully supported by JRA, took the top spot in both household and core viewer ratings (ratings among men and women aged 13-49). Watchers praised the drama for its &#8220;stable Sunday Gekijo quality.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The magnificent nature of Hokkaido and the powerful running of the horses give the drama a strong pictorial power. It is packed with all the things a man loves: business, horse racing, humanity, and victory, and I think it will appeal not only to horse racing fans but also to those who don&#8217;t know anything about horse racing. The story is full of business, horse racing, humanity, and victory, and I think it will draw in horse racing enthusiasts and non-racers alike.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The development in which the viewers are breathlessly praying for success is reminiscent of past Sunday drama classics such as &#8220;Rikuoh,&#8221; &#8220;No Side Game,&#8221; and &#8220;Gekkokujo Kyuuji. The so-called ″cameo appearance″ of the deputy representative of Shadai Farm, who appears momentarily in the drama, is sure to tickle the hearts of horse racing fans. The strategy is well thought out,&#8221; said drama watcher Kawada Mihiro.</span></p>
<p> A TV person in charge of programming at a commercial TV station said, &#8220;It&#8217;s just as well that they have used handsome men of each generation, <span class="strongInContent">such as Ren Meguro (28), Satoshi Tsumabuki (44), and Koichi Sato (64),</span> so that the story does not become too manly and female viewers will not run away from the drama. It seems that the show will continue its rapid growth.</p>
<p> The top TVer favorite is <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;So, You Make It,&#8221; which</span> is aired on TBS.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The first episode often marks the highest rating because of the &#8220;trial viewing,&#8221; but the fact that the rating for the fifth episode exceeded that of the first episode is a testament to the fun of the show. Anyway, Katsuo, played by Ryoma Takeuchi (32), is excellent and hammy. It is comical but heartbreaking to see a man with irrepressibly old-fashioned values reevaluate himself and grow up after his girlfriend leaves him. This work is popular among women, but it is also a must-see for men who want to update their values,&#8221; said Oyama.</span></p>

<p> Since the COVID-19 crisis, filming has been accelerated in order to prepare for the interruption of filming due to the cast&#8217;s infection. The film was also cranked in July, and a TBS official said with a wry smile, &#8220;It was tough shooting in the intense heat wearing a coat and taking measures to prevent onlookers from leaking that Kaho (34) would become pink-headed in the film.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The launch party was held in late October in the TBS office building, and I was impressed by how calmly the cast members praised each other. I was struck by how uplifting it is to create a drama that attracts the public&#8217;s attention,&#8221; he said. All the hard work paid off.&#8221;</span></p>

<h2>A combination of a unique work and a popular series</h2>
<p> TV Asahi, which made the most headlines with &#8220;Shiawase na Kekkon&#8221; (A Happy Marriage), a suspense drama written by Shizuka Oishi and starring Sadawo Abe (55) and Takako Matsu (48) as a married couple, is introducing another unique drama in the fall season. Written by Akiko Nogi, who has produced hits such as &#8220;Escape is Shameful but Useful&#8221; (TBS), &#8220;Slightly Esper,&#8221; starring <span class="strongInContent">Yo Oizumi (52)</span> as a &#8220;businessman whose life has come to a standstill&#8221; who saves the world with his petit supernatural powers, will be a hit. &#8211;The film is called <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;Just a Little Esper</span>.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The film is &#8220;No. 1 on Netflix every day,&#8221; and is also No. 1 in global trends and overall rankings in Japan. It is also No. 1 in the global trend and domestic overall rankings. In order to avoid this phenomenon, the seven actors, including Oizumi and Aoi Miyazaki (39), talk about the behind-the-scenes of the location shoots and show previously unreleased scenes on TELASA, TV Asahi&#8217;s video distribution platform, under the title of &#8220;Watch Party. The members of the group The policy of the members watching the film and sharing their impressions with each other has also been successful. This is the first TV Asahi drama series in which Oizumi plays the lead role, and Dean Fujioka (45) and Masaki Okada (36) take on the role of the tormentors. The sense of unity among the cast members is unparalleled,&#8221; said a commercial TV programming executive.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> While creating a buzz with his unique works, he has also introduced sequels to popular series <span class="strongInContent">such as &#8220;Partners&#8221; and &#8220;Emergency Room,&#8221; which</span> have a large viewer base. These too have produced positive results.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The first episode of &#8220;Kintori&#8221; (&#8220;Emergency Room&#8221;) has been viewed more than 2 million times on TVer, and the company is feeling a sense of security in anticipation of the theatrical version of &#8220;Emergency Room The Final,&#8221; which will be released on December 26, 2012. The Kintori theater version has a history of being postponed due to the incident involving Ennosuke Ichikawa (49). Since the film is being reshot with Kanji Ishimaru (60) as a new cast member, we must make this film a success and boost the theater version. At the same time, everyone involved is praying that nothing will happen to the actors.</span></p>
