Kimura Takuya Earns Johnny's Ratings King Title
Johnny's Entertainment has always produced talents who are heavily used by several large television stations in Japan. As a guaranteed secret weapon to boost ratings, many members have taken part in one drama after another. Based on ratings from last year's dramas, fans have crowned Kimura Takuya as the ratings king in all of Johnny's. Kimura's Mr. Brain earned the highest average ratings at 20.5%. Second place went to Kusanagi Tsuyoshi for his role in Ninkyo Helper at 15%, while third went to Ikuta Toma's Voice at 14.6%.
However, it seems that not all Johnny's can produce the same results. KAT-TUN's Kamenashi Kazuya's Kami no Shizuku had the worst results, reaching only 6.08% ratings. Even his guest appearance in the third episode of Mr. Brain was the lowest recorded episode, at only 16.3%. No wonder he's known for pulling down ratings.
