JDrama TV Ratings

Johnston wrote:Hi guys,

What's the highest-rated J-Dorama in the Japan history?

Thanks.

The highest rated Japanese series on TV was Oshin, a daytime (I'm pretty sure) drama of some 300 15-minute episodes from 1983-84. Its peak rating was 62.9%. Several of the earlier Taiga dramas had ratings close to 50%. I don't think any dorama series in the last 15 years reached a 40% rating.

Hmm, I was not aware of that. Thanks for the correction. I wonder which drama has the second-highest rating after Oshin?

this is not the answer to your question....just sharing...

I read somewhere that HERO broke the record in getting the highest AVERAGE rating for the last 10 years, that time(2001)...

Oshin was a great drama... my whole family loved it even tho we r not japanese... it was aired in my country a long long time ago ( i was a lil kid back then :D) i never knew that it had the highest rating in J-history :) cool

hi guys! i hope someone could help me. i'm really curious as what particular episode of Gokusen 2 hit the highest.

btw, if it isnt much to ask, i'm an avid of Takuya Kimura, i'm also wondering if anyone know what particular episode hit the highest on each Takuya's drama, an episode no. will do.

thanks so much in advance.

how can Gokusen1 not be in those list?
im shocked

mm..i wanna know what is the rating for Kindaichi3 (with Jun). Is it possible? :puppydog:

Too many Kimutaku dorama, any particular one? Some of the older ones are no longer in the respective database.

Cos highest rating for Gokusen1 only 23.5% for the final episode. Bear in mind the ratings are just an indicator of what is popular to the Japanese audience during the screening period, and what appeals to them might not be as enticing for us. E.g. H2 is one of the best dorama this year, but it faired badly at the ratings. Furthermore Gokusen1 is a sleeper hit then. By the time Gokusen2 is screened, it has accumulated quite a following, hence the higher rating as compare with Gokusen1.

I am currently watching

Ichi Litorru no Namida
Hana Yori Dango
Brother Beat
Nobuta Wo Produce

I am dismayed at the ratings for Brother Beat.. it seems to decline every week. I'm happy that the others are performing fairly well.

As for juuuan's observations, I would like to relay my sentiments that YES!!! for some weird reason the public did not like H2!! I loved that show! I don't know why it slumped in the ratings. :-( Anyway, on the Gokusen part, it doesn't hurt that aside from the following, the next best thing to sliced bread were the frontmen of the show (Akanishi Jin and Kamenashi Kazuya)..

Oh well. Oh well.. Oh well.

It seems that Dangerous Beauty has the highest rating
but i cant find it in the Jdorama database
as well as Jukunen Rikon
can any1 provide the synopsis? im curios about those two dramas
thanks alot

;) littlemissfab, I am a huge fan of Mitsuru Adachi Manga.. hence H2 is a God send.. =) Great theme song, charming cast, I can just go on and on LoL..

Actually, Hana Yori Dango is right up there with Dangerous Beauty. Dangerous Beauty is in the Jdorama database, here..

A brief synopsis for Jukunen Rikon:-

Tetsuya Watari, a salaryman who is on the verge of retirement. Nostalgia and a sense of relief came over him on that last train ride home from his office. After years of slogging, it is finally over. But unknown to him, what awaits him at home that evening is not supper but divorce papers. Apparently, his wife has plans to retire too.
