It was a bit sad that Arashi was in the 2nd place, but I’m glad that the score between Arashi and Ayase Haruka is just .5% in difference. Nevertheless, I love Ayase so I’m not complaining. SMAP and Sakurai Sho in Top 10 is really awesome and for Sakurai to be in the top 10 alone just shows how popular he is. XD.
On the side note, Nikkei also did a “Talent Soaring Ranking“, which include talents that made a huge improvement or a huge leap from their past rank due to their increase popularity. The only JE member included is Kis-My-Ft2‘s Tamamori Yuta (#10), who managed to score 20.0% this year, a 10.2% difference from his 9.8% score last 2012. Tamamori’s increase in popularity was attributed to his Ikinari Ougon Densetsu stint.
To all, Omedatou!~~~
