ジャニーズを切るに切れないフジテレビ
Fuji TV cannot break off from Johnny’s regardless how much they want to

「このまま視聴率が下がり続けるようだと、ダメージを最小限に食い止めるため、何だかんだ理由を付けて回数を減らすなどの対策を練らなければならない。ジャニーズが主演で、局の看板である月9を打ち切るわけには行かないし…」(フジテレビ関係者)
“If the viewership continues to decline this way, in order to minimise the damage, we have to come up with countermeasures and make up an excuse to reduce the number of episodes or things alike. But with a Johnny’s in the starring role, and the Monday9 (Monday 9pm) being the network’s flagship drama we can’t just cut it short like that…” (Fuji TV source)

(now that they cannot turn to God for help there’s nothing else but “turn to Arashi”?)
