The latest television viewership data for the week of September 21-27 highlights the enduring popularity of A Solitary Gourmet on TV Tokyo. A marathon re-airing of the series' 10th season finale secured a 5.1% rating during its Monday afternoon broadcast. This was followed closely by a mid-week marathon of the show's second season, which aired on Wednesday and captured a 4.7% rating.
While the live-action series claimed the top spots, the animation sector saw the broadcast of Eiga Oshiri Tantei: Curry Naru Jiken on NHK Educational. The film aired on the morning of September 21, earning a 1.2% rating. These figures reflect the consistent performance of established franchises within the Japanese broadcast landscape.
Why it matters: The strong performance of these re-airings suggests that long-running, familiar titles continue to anchor TV Tokyo's afternoon programming, even as newer seasonal content competes for attention. It remains to be seen whether this viewership trend will shift as the fall broadcast schedule fully takes hold.
