As you know, the average household viewer rating for Fuji Television's Monday 9 drama "Kazama Kochin: Kyobo 0," starring Kimura, dropped from 12% in the first episode to 8% in the sixth episode broadcast on March 15. This is in contrast to TBS Sunday drama "Last Man: The Blind Investigator" starring "rival" Masaharu Fukuyama (54), which has maintained double-digit ratings. However, the number of registered TVer favorites, one of the barometers of popularity, shows that "Kyobo 0" is leading with 1,213,000 compared to 925,000 for "The Last Man" (as of March 18).

Mr. Kimura, a veteran who knows Mr. Janney even better than Mr. Sakurai, has been put in an even more precarious position. Many fans feel that "ignorance is no longer an option. 　

Moreover, the public's view of Mr. Kimura is likely to become even more severe because former SMAP members other than Mr. Kimura are rapidly approaching each other, such as Masahiro Nakai and Shingo Katori on talk shows these days. The "Nobunaga movie" in which he starred did not go as well as expected. ......Kimutaku probably had no idea at the time that he would face "headwinds" for remaining with Johnny's after SMAP's breakup.
