Getsuku and Kakku

Getsuku (月９ getsuku^?) is a Japanese abbreviation for Getsuyō kuji (月曜９時 getsuyō kuji^?, Monday at 9 pm). This is traditionally the time when the most popular TV dramas air in Japan.

Kakku (火9^?) is a Japanese abbreviation for Kayō Ku-ji (火曜9時^?), meaning Tuesday at 9PM.

This is a popular time-slot which airs Japanese television dramas.

Kakku is Fuji TV's second best-rated time-slot for TV dramas, behind Getsuku (Monday at 9PM).

Prior to airing dramas, the time-slot was occupied by the popular quiz show Naruhodo! The World, which ran for a period of fourteen years.

The first drama to air on this time-slot was Minikui Ahiru no Ko (1996), starring Goro Kishitani and Takako Tokiwa.
