2010; the year of the dorama sequels? [5/10/09]:
The situation for TV stations in Japan seems get more serious season after season. Dropping advertising revenues and a rapidly declining number of viewers force them to reduce the costs at all ends and doramas are no exception.
You might have already noticed that this upcoming fall season there are going to be a a couple more sequels than usual with doramas such as "Liar Game 2", "Sono Otoko, Fuku-Shocho 3" or "Koshonin 2". The magazine Shukan Josei now reports that we will continue to see this trend towards sequels of popular older doramas instead of putting a lot of money into new projects and the new sets that would come with them throughout the next seasons.
Of course, we still have original projects such as "Tokyo DOGS" starring Oguri Shun, but don’t be surprised to find out that Fuji TV actually saved a lot of money on this one as well. Apparently they are going to put a lot of money into Oguri’s directorial debut that’s going to release next year and in return he had to appear in their Monday-09pm dorama slot, hoping that he could boost up their ratings again. Whether he even had to do it for less money is not known, but it wouldn’t be that surprising anymore. Of course Fuji TV is denying those rumors, "We’ve never heard anything about such a deal. We have a high opinion in the dorama’s content and in Oguri’s abilities as an actor."

oh dear...seems this and last season's jdoramas haven't been doing very well lately in the ratings...compared to last year's jdoramas...could the problem be the dramas themselves? Not interesting enough for the viewers?
I've been observing the ratings for this season's jdoramas, and much of them aren't doing very well...around 'mediocre' or so...only a few of the dramas are doing quite well with double digits.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to Shun's Tokyo DOGS! But by the sound of things, it sounds like he has a lot of pressure on him, Fuji TV is counting on him to push up their ratings. But with his popularity, and talent as an actor, I'm sure he'll do great!
I'm also looking forward to the movie that he'll be directing! Ganbatte!
