The third episode of the TBS Sunday drama “The Royal Family” (9:00 p.m.-), starring Satoshi Tsumabuki (44) and Snow Man’s Ren Meguro (28) in an important role, will be broadcast on October 26. Since “Golden SixTONES” (“GOst”), the SixTONES’ crown program, is airing in the same time slot on NTV, some people are looking forward to a “Snowstalker showdown” with Meguro. –The “Royal Family” is a show about a family that has been in the spotlight for many years. Ren Meguro, who appears in “ The Royal Family,” has undergone seven amazing transformations, from wearing glasses with her “mysterious” bangs down to a “screaming face” that is “too much of a mess…” Drama “The Royal Family” (Japanese title: “The Royal Family”) The Royal Family” is based on the novel of the same title by Kazuma Hayami, winner of the “JRA (Japan Racing Association) Award for Equine Culture”. The story follows Eiji Kurisu (Tsumabuki), a former tax accountant, and the 20 years of his life filled with dreams and passion of people involved in horse racing. The filming is fully backed by JRA, with the cooperation of horse owners, trainers, and jockeys, and is shot on actual racetracks. Meguro appeared in a photo in the last scene of the first episode, and also appears in voice-over narration. He has been told that he will be playing “an important role that holds the key to the story,” but his name and role are being kept under wraps. GO Sto” is SixTONES’ first regular TV program, which began airing on April 6 this year. The show is a follow-up to the 23-year-old “Matrix Counseling Center” (formerly “Matrix Legal Counseling Center”), and has gained popularity as SixTONES and its guests engage in weekly game competitions. GOst” is already becoming “the face of Nittele on Sundays,” and on October 12, the first broadcast day of “The Royal Family,” a total of 12 guests, mainly actors appearing in Nittele’s fall dramas, gathered for the program. The program was broadcast as a “special program to promote the fall drama series. The Sunday Gekijo has always had good viewer ratings and is said to be the number one drama program on commercial TV, but with Meguro’s popularity, the number of young viewers is likely to increase. The visual of Ms. Meguro wearing glasses and bangs has been released for her appearance in “The Royal Family,” but at this stage, only her voice has been released. Even so, X was excited, saying things like, “It’s Meguro’s voice!” and “Meguro-kun’s narration” has already been trending, giving a sense that the drama has already had a significant impact on the momentum. In fact, viewership ratings have remained in the 10% household range for two consecutive episodes. I guess you could say that it is solid, but when compared to “GOst,” which is broadcast in the same time slot of ……, the results are a bit surprising,” (source from a private key station). The ratings for the first episode of “The Royal Family” (October 12) were 11.7% household viewer rating (Kanto region/video research), 6.8% individual viewer rating, and 2.8% core viewer rating (individual viewer rating among 13-49 year olds), which the TV industry places importance on. And on the same day, the ratings for “GO Strike” were 7.0% household and 4.9% individual, but the core was a much higher 4.7% than “The Royal Family”. The second episode of “The Royal Family” (October 19) also beat “GOst” in households and individuals, but lost in core ratings. On the same day, “The Royal Family” had a 2.6% core and “GO St” had a 4.6% core. The core ratings for “The Royal Family” were 2.6% and 4.6% for “GO Strike. Not only this season, but it continues to win over “Sunday Gekijo” in core ratings. In addition to the popularity of SixTONES, the program’s interesting content, such as the “Size Supper,” a competition for size perception, is probably one of the reasons. Some viewers even said that they got to know the group through the “GO Sto” program. It is also believed that the Sunday drama production team is keen to attract more young viewers, the core audience, to watch the drama.
