It averaged a 27.4% rating in the Kanto area, making it the highest-rated drama episode so far this year. The previous highest was the premiere of "Gokusen 3," which achieved 26.4%. However, "Gokusen" still ranks #1 for the season average.

The finale of "CHANGE" reached its peak during the episode's second half, attaining a 31.2% peak.

I am sure you guys have noticed that the televised speech was pretty long.
Kimura showcased the extent of his talent ( once again ) and proved ( yet again ) why he was the #1 star in Japan.
That scene is actually 22 minutes and 35 seconds long : it has got to be the longest uncut scene with dialogue in history.
I have been searching for the past two days of another scene anywhere that lasts longer but couldn't find any.
Is this a record ?

Yes, that scene was the longest and the awesome part of it was when it was filmed, it only took Kimura one take/one cut/one sitting to do that heavy scene. No re-shoots. Imagine all the dialogue he had to memorize, internalize and emote on screen. Truly amazing!!!!!

Drama Grand Prix: "CHANGE" and "Last Friends" win for Fuji TV
Thu, July 17, 2008 (1:42am EDT)


Nikkan Sports has completed its Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix for the spring season, which counts as the first quarter of the 2008 awards. A total of 8,350 votes were gathered during the first ten days of July.

Fuji TV's Monday night series "CHANGE" took two awards. It edged out "Last Friends" by 129 votes to be named Best Drama, and Takuya Kimura overwhelmed "ROOKIES" star Ryuta Sato by a margin of almost 2,200 votes in the race for Best Actor.

Yuki Amami was voted Best Actress for her role in "Around 40." The next closest choices were Aoi Miyazaki and Yukie Nakama.

"Last Friends" picked up the remaining two categories, Best Supporting Actor and Actress. Ryo Nishikido only collected 1,100 votes, but it was enough to defeat Hiroshi Abe and the rest. Juri Ueno, considered only a supporting cast member to Masami Nagasawa, pulled in more than 2,500 votes, with Eri Fukatsu slightly less than 400 votes away.

Just finished watching this series, I absolutely LOVED it, even more than HERO series.
Fukatsu Eri's chemistry with KimuTaku was incredible Blink

I hope there would be a SP or movie, the ending certainly makes it possible.

Yeah, Eri and Kimutaku had great chemistry in Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi too.

I still haven't watched the final episode of Change yet. But one thing has to be said, Kimutaku dramas always have impeccable supporting characters. Abe Hiroshi and Eri Fukatsu were both wonderful here. thumleft

Sash on top of suit with white gloves is common attire for election candidates during their campaign.

I'm guess it's a sign of service or professionalism, since white gloves are generally part of military uniform (I guess "self-defense force" in Japan), and taxi drivers also wear them.

Asakura Keita took them off to show that he's not above everyone else... "My hands are just like yours".

I guess I'm one of the only people that thought this drama was mediocre at best.

Especially since Fukatsu Eri and Abe Hiroshi are much better actors than Kimura and their skills were not utilized in their roles IMO.

Don't agree with you but then again it's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Kimura in my opinion definitely did an awesome job as usual. Theres no wonder he's the king of doramas.
