Wed, September 26, 2007 (4:58am EDT)

The "HERO" drama franchise, starring Takuya Kimura and Takako Matsu, is still running strong, according to recent numbers.

On the 23rd, Fuji TV aired "Drama Legend HERO," a director's cut that added new scenes to last year's special episode. While ratings failed to meet the original's 30.9% viewership, the program still averaged a healthy 22.1%.

Meanwhile, the film version topped the box office for its third consecutive week. So far, it has grossed about 4.8 billion yen on 3.75 million admissions.
