Eight hundred million out of eight billion people on Earth—that's already beyond mere dominant content. Honestly, surpassing that seems impossible...?

Back in the old days, TV ratings were high because there were few televisions but lots of people wanting to watch. Nowadays, TV is nearly ubiquitous—almost 100% penetration—but there are countless content options online and elsewhere, making it hard to boost ratings. Given that, it's not an exaggeration to say that Jeanne, with her audience of 800 million viewers accessible across any device, is the biggest star of the century. Do you think Hikaru can compete with that? She's just an average shy high school girl, after all.
