Kimura Takuya is an actor known for appearing on dramas which garner high ratings. Unfortunately, according to Japanese media, his TV Asahi drama “Mirai e no 10 Count” is not performing well in the ratings and it was announced that the ninth episode will be its final on June 9th.

UPDATE: TV Asahi has denied this and the original article has since been deleted.

The drama was originally scheduled for a total of 10 episodes through June 16th but TV Asahi didn’t like what it saw with the drama dropping below 10% and the 4th episode dropping to 9.6%, making “Mirai e no 10 Count” the worse performing Kimura Takuya drama.

On the 16th, TV Asahi will expand its”Keishicho Sosaikkacho Season 6″ to a 2-hour special instead.
