Yahoo! JAPAN announced its Search Rankings for 2009. In the Name Search category, the first place went to popular Johnny’s Entertainment group Arashi, who beat out Korean group Tohoshinki and Japanese group Exile. Within the past year, Arashi’s popularity has skyrocketed. Two years ago they placed only seventh in the rankings, while last year they broke into the top three spots. It’s no surprise that they were rumoured earlier to be taking over the MC position from their sempai SMAP for NHK’s Red and White Singing Contest.
In the category for Television Programs, Fuji Television’s reality show ‘Ainori’ placed first, while Mizushima Hiro and Yamashita Tomohisa’s dramas, ‘Mei-chan no Shitsuji’ and ‘Buzzer Beat’ placed second and third respectively.
