JDrama TV Ratings

we're merely joking....but no actor has the incredible 10 year streak of highly viewed doramas like Kimura....not even close.

the Hero special had a 30 plus rating....that's unheard of these days....

I'm still relatively new to the Jdorama world, but 10 yr of being #1 in the dorama is an amazing thing.

Was the special all that good??? I'm dling it.

i haven't seen it yet...but ever since Long Vacation in 1996 NO Japanese celebrity has had the incredibly well-received "run" that Kimura Takuya has....and I don't think that anybody will ever top his record....

from 1994-2003: Kimura Takuya (30) has been voted the most popular man in Japan for the tenth year running. The survey polled over 14,000 people.

Simply incredible.
Jun or Yamapi won't reach that level of popularity. Least I think they won't

his acting vis-a-vis other japanese male celebrities..is on another, ELEVATED level.

No wonder why he was the Japanese chosen to star in Wong Kar Wai's 2046. =)

No, I don't think they can ever top Takuya Kimura. The only Johnny's member who's got a chance is maybe Kamenashi Kazuya. Maybe.

By the way, I heard Takuya Kimura has the lead in the 3 dramas with the greatest audience rate. I heard it was Good Luck, Beautiful and Long Vacation. What were their overall ratings? (I wish I knew Good Luck's one)

with respect...no way! kimura takuya being voted the top male celebrity 10 years in a row...that'll never happen again in our lifetime with another male artist.

kame should stick to breastfeeding from his mom/girlfriend kyon kyon. :hehe:

Hi, everybody, this is my first post here. I've seen Hero SP, it's not bad, sometimes very funny, but I donn't think it could over 20% without Kimura Takuya.

eeh..
takuya also played in 2046?
i had that movie but havent watched it..

i watched at beginning and found it very boring
i couldnt understand
and i fell asleep..

yeah.. no one can top Takuya
He is amazing isnt he?
as a fans, we want our idol to be like Takuya
but the reality is harsh
none cant do that..
we should respect Takuya's fans too..

even yamap/jun cant do it
but IMO Jun has good acting skills..
talking bout Kame, Jun is still better than him

i was sorta forced to watch the whole thing - seriously, the most boring movie i've ever watched - you sit thru 2 hrs and a bit of the most pointless story i've seen

All the top 3 rankings are all made by Kimura: Hero, Love Generation & Long Vacation.

Only he himself can break his recordc :dancing:

That's the rating of one episode which topped 11 episodes. The average rating of the show is 29.2%. See the 30% is not easy to reach, even for the classic Long Vacation. [image]
