Takata Endo participated in the discussion of the TV series "Dragon Sakura" in various online communities. Seeing that most viewers had good comments on this TV series, he became more excited and had no sleepiness.

He reluctantly let go until his phone ran out of power.

And at this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

His girlfriend Ayano Suzuki has already returned to his bedroom to sleep. Endo Takata looked at the quilt and pillow that his girlfriend had brought him at some point and smiled helplessly.

"Ayano is really flawless. I have no excuse to sneak into her bedroom. Forget it, I don't have that kind of mind now, so I just slept on the sofa for one night. Fortunately, tomorrow is a day off, otherwise it will be troublesome..."

After the excitement passed, Endo Takata yawned, got into the quilt, and fell asleep.

That night, many people were extremely excited because of the premiere of the TV series "Dragon Sakura", and they stayed up late at night before going to bed. Some people chose to go to bed early after watching the TV series to nourish their energy the next day.

Among such people, Tamakawa Yasukino.

Although you don’t have to go to work on Saturdays, Tamakawa Yasukino still gets up at 7 a.m. as on weekdays.

After washing and tidying up the appearance, after having breakfast made by his wife, Yasukami Tamakawa drove his Lexus to the TBS building in Akasaka Gotto, Minato.

Although Saturday is an ordinary person's rest day, in a place like TV station, where the year is endless, today is still bustling with people coming and going. Staff and artists who come to TBS to shoot the program series can be seen everywhere.

A top producer like Yasukami Tamakawa has an extraordinary status in the TV station. Since entering the TV station hall, people have bowed to him from time to time to say hello.

And today, in addition to saying "Good morning by producer Tamakawa", these people often add praise like "Dragon Sakura is amazing".

Last night, the first episode of the TV series "Dragon Sakura" premiered, and many industry insiders were paying attention to the ratings.

Although Yasuji Tamakawa didn't care about the specific numbers, he could tell that the ratings of "Dragon Sakura" were very good when he looked at the smiling faces of the employees he asked him along the way.

Taking the elevator to his office on the top floor, Tamakawa Yasukino rested for a while, then called his assistant Naoko Fujiro.

After a while, a capable woman in a professional dress came to Yasukami Tamakawa's office with a stack of documents.

"Tamakawasan, this is the ratings report you ordered yesterday, and I made it overnight." Fujiro Naoko placed the document on Yasuji Tamakawa's desk and asked again, "Do you want coffee?"

"I'm sorry, Naoko. No one can compare to the mocha you've soaked."

Naoko Fujiro nodded, then left Tamakawa Yasuji's office and headed to the tea room.

Yasukinosa Tamakawa began to read the report that Naoko Fujiro made overnight.

So far, most of the Japanese dramas in the autumn period have been aired. Among the remaining Japanese dramas that have not been aired, only NTV has one day later than "Dragon Sakura", which is worthy of the attention of Yasukino Tamakawa.

Whether from the audience or the type of the TV series itself, "Academic Flower Man" is the biggest opponent of "Dragon Sakura", and Tamakawa Yasukino is not unaware of it.

Although we already know that the ratings of "Dragon Sakura" are good, Tamakawa Yasukino hopes that "Dragon Sakura" can produce a rating that is far better than "good". In this way, TBS will be more calm when facing the rating challenges of NTV.

Once, compared with the other four private TV stations, TBS has always been at the forefront of TV series, and even once said that "TBS of Dorama (the pronunciation of Japanese TV series)" was gradually surpassed by Fuji TV station since the 1990s.

At that time, Fuji TV launched several TV series with the theme of love stories between men and women in the urban context of rapid economic development, and achieved great success.

Not only did it gain huge economic benefits and caused unprecedented social responses, but Fuji TV's image among the people has also been greatly improved.

In the past, after girls majoring in broadcasting majors in various universities graduated, except for NHK, a TV station that is backed by the country, the first choice for employment in other major private TV stations was TBS.

However, after the 1990s, the employment intentions of female college students changed. Fuji TV became the first choice for future female anchors.

From such a small change, the changes in the status of several major private TV stations can be seen.

Today, TBS is no longer as brilliant as it was back then. Although it has released many phenomenal TV series, overall, the ratings are sometimes good and sometimes bad, and are not stable.

Moreover, not only Fuji TV surpassed TBS and occupied the top spot in private TV ratings, but other TV stations are also catching up.

After all, in this era of rapid economic development in Japan, the money in the pockets of major companies is almost overflowing, so they will naturally not be stingy with various sponsorships and advertising fees. For TV stations, every increase in ratings by one percentage point means huge economic benefits.

Tamakawa Yasukino held the ratings report, his thoughts flew and recalled the past.

When his assistant Naoko Fujiro brought the steaming and fragrant coffee to her face, Yasukino Tamakawa came back to her senses.

"Thank you. Naoko, please go down first." Yasukami Tamakawa nodded to his assistant, took a sip of coffee, cheered up, and began to read the ratings report.

Most of the TV ratings in Japan are counted by a professional survey company called "Video_Research".

Just like the same principle as the sales volume of comics that only counts the Tokyo area, it is possible to roughly estimate the sales volume of Japan. Video_Research's ratings survey is generally limited to the Tokyo area.

This company is very professional. Not only does it divide the ratings into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual reports, etc. according to the time. It also divides personal ratings, generational ratings, etc. according to the audience.

In addition to the ratings of TV series and various TV programs, Video_Research also provides special services such as advertising effect measurement.

Such a professional data survey company is extremely authoritative, and major TV stations will conduct business activities based on the ratings provided by them.

"The new season of "The Story of the World" has a rating of 18.3 in the first episode, no matter it is a veteran strong player. Fujidai really has a set!" Tamakawa Yasukino sighed in his heart. He was too lazy to watch the ratings of other TV series, so he jumped directly to the TBS statistics column.
