JapanToday.com reported, “Fuji TV is hoping for big things from its new drama, “Change,” which stars SMAP idol Kimutaku (Takuya Kimura) as a school teacher who reluctantly becomes prime minister, and a theme song by Madonna. According to TV rating agency Video Research, the first episode, which aired Monday night, attracted an audience rating of 23.8%, slightly below the 26.4% of NTV’s new drama “Gokusen” which started on April 19.”

In a recent Televiews column by Wm. Penn for the Daily Yomiuri, Penn writes about upcoming dramas including Kimura Takuya’s “Change”.
Penn wrote, “Get ready. Change (Fuji, 9 p.m.) is coming Monday. It has taken a while, but Takuya Kimura is finally on his way to save the day for Japan.”
T”he quest for a quality political drama seems to have caused some production delays that pushed the series debut back three weeks. There have been media reports of grumbling at the network and worries that the late start will affect the timing of the summer series set for the Monday, 9 p.m. slot.”
“Can’t quite see what the problem is myself. Until the private networks create more dramas that really excite viewers, staggering the start of each new season may be one of their best strategies for keeping the public interested in TV.”
“Most of this April’s offerings have already bored or alienated viewers, so it is nice to have something new to look forward to in May.”
“Fuji has not yet revealed how many weeks Change will run, but if it should preempt a few of the between-season, special marathon, 180-minute, triple talento, super-duper, silly noise extravaganzas, will anyone really miss them? So bring on the Change already.”
