Sasuke 30 Ratings

[arsenette]

Thanks to the detective work from last year from Ube there was a blog I checked to see if anything was posted about the Sasuke Ratings. Checking the blog again and sure enough there was an entry today about the ratings for this week. Seems this week was really slow.. because top rating was only 13% from another station.

Preliminary has it at 10.0%  We won't get a final one until at least Wednesday.  Ratings work much differently in Japan than in the USA.

Btw TBS seems to be confirming that Sasuke 31 is next year (2015) which makes sense since they didn't meet the goal they wanted to warrant another 2014 Sasuke.  I'll try to confirm that.

NHK only really matters when they are setting records (Kohaku, World Cup, Morning Drama etc.)

TV Tokyo
19:00 **.*% ポケットモンスター　XY「メガルカリオ対メガクチート!メガシンカの絆!!」
19:30 **.*% NARUTO疾風伝「柱間とマダラ」 <-- the confusion this might have cause for some is amusing

I highly doubt TV Tokyo's ratings will affect anything.

1. They broke double digits. First time since SASUKE 27.
2. The ratings have increased in very small increments (like .3 each time).
3. Except for the first hour they will end up at least 3rd which is why TBS will focus more on ANW ratings.
4. Still the fifth lowest rating ever.
5. If not for SASUKE, I personally would have been flipping between NTV and TV Asahi.

Thanks Ube! I wasn't sure if that was single day or not.  One thing I found of note lately between comments online when it was talking about the nico nico broadcast or even the LaLaport event is that many people thought the show was canceled.  TBS has A LOT of work to do. So, if they want to raise the ratings they have to raise the profile of the show.

Ratings in general of late though have been going up and down for about 4 years though so I don't see it as a big win.  They still have to work on getting the show back into the current generation's lexicon.  So 3rd?  One thing that always confused me from the charts is that I don't have time slots listed for all of them so I can't compare where they fit in the grand scheme of things (like a time chart).  I'm utterly spoiled by the ratings websites here in the USA where they break down the numbers by even half hour slots.  ANW though is not breaking records and what they get is not as much as they would domestically. NBC has solid control over their purse so it's unlikely TBS can get more than just the initial contract. I don't think they get royalties except for the specials.  Btw since I have no idea what were the shows on NTV or TV Asahi, what types of shows were on there? Variety shows?  Drama?

[lostinube]

Basically, the list shows Golden Time shows from 7:00 to 11:00 PM, roughly. NTV had one variety show starring 99 and another with Downtown. Asahi had a three hour quiz show.

[arsenette]

Thanks! So Prime time. Read the chart from TV Tokyo to get a good hint of what else was on then finally wrapped my head around how the shows were linked together. Again, I'm much too spoiled with time charts doing the work for me. Much appreciated.

SASUKE finished 3rd overall in the Sports category and wasn't that far behind the number two (Netherlands/Costa Rica). As always, had the show been under variety, it wouldn't finish in the top ten.

It's a bit confusing as several of the World Cup matches got cut up into segments (perhaps due to the fact that almost all the games went long that week). It's a good number for the show but all of the World Cup games are being broadcast live in Japan and games after the group stage all started at around 1:00 AM or 5:00 AM JST. The two later games that Japan played (the first aired on a Sunday morning and garnered a 46 rating) were early in the morning but both got over 30 ratings. So the close number between SASUKE and the World Cup game(s), I think, would be much different if the World Cup was playing in a timezone closer to Japan (i.e. all the World Cup games would blow SASUKE out of the water).

[arsenette]

Interesting. That explains why they didn't automatically tweet what the rating was. They also had to FINALLY admit what I've been telling them for a long time.. "most people thought this show was cancelled". They have a year to correct that problem. I'm curious what they are going to do with it.

[thatoneuser]

Japanese TV is really weird. Seems kind of odd that a once-a-year show finishes third on a Thursday night to a travelogue. Although, hey, it beat all but 2 World Cup games, even if they were at 5 AM.

That said, it's nice to know that the future of SASUKE is on solid footing, as we've had some close calls these past few years.

Yuuji posted this morning that apparently the ratings peaked at 12% during his run in the 2nd stage.


Not sure which TV program it was, but it was showing Yuuji at the wall in the 2nd stage.

What a depressing picture for [what seems to be] good news.
