What's Kantou and Kansai? Are they areas that they take ratings from. What part of Japan is this, if they are areas? Or am I way off? Anyone? Thanks.

Thanks for the info on wiki, so all the rating stats for the dramas come from these areas in Japan? Don't they consider all of Japan? Or maybe they do.

Thank you for the information. I'm glad to see "Nodame Cantabile" holding firm in third place.

yeah, it is doing well...
so is 14 Sai no Haha
but sailor fuku to kikanjuu, is showing inconsistant ratings, and not doing that great....

yeah, still, it'd be better if both region ratings would be given. Plus, wikidrama is not updating the rating as fast so it's quite difficult to gage. Anyways, I so wanna see N.C. and 14 Sai.

Thank you for posting the ratings. Looks like it is a duel to the death between Nodame-chan and the good Doctor.

So, the rating result is only from Tokyo viewers?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but how do they get the rating result?

"Actually, ratings are very accurate.
Here's how:

Take into consideration the data collected by Video Research Ltd. of Japan. They take statistics of three different regions, of which comprises of a very large percentage of Japan: Kanto, Kansei and Nagoya.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanto - greatest population and large industrialized zone.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansai - counterculture to Kanto
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagoya

If you study the different regions, you'll see some interesting differences. First, many young people flock to Kanto because that's where everything's at: schools, shopping, and modern popular culture such as Akihabara and Harajuku. 99-percent of the people on D-Addicts see the Kanto numbers seeing they come out a lot faster than the other two regions. Nagoya is considered the "sticks", and is rarely ever considered as being valued when it comes to statistics. Kansai numbers are also rare, but not as much as Nagoya.

People outside of Japan believe that their characteristics of what makes a good drama are similar to those in the Kanto region because they're perceived as being more modern. And they're probably right; the majority of Japan's GNP come out of Kanto. So when it comes to advertising/marketing strategies, the focus on the show's themes and casting is heavily made on the Kanto region seeing this region contributes the most money to the marketplace. Also, Kanto represents the majority of Japan's overall population."
