chupachups Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yahoo! Japan has released a list of the top searches made in the first half of the year on the popular Japanese search engine. The list has three different categories including overall ranking, people ranking, and television program ranking. While no Korean groups managed to make it on the overall ranking, which was dominated by websites like YouTube and Mixi, SNSD, KARA, and TVXQ made it onto the top people ranking. Japanese girl group AKB48 took first place, while boy band Arashi took second and AKB48 member Maeda Atsuko took third. SNSD came behind them in fourth, followed by KARA in fifth. SNSD's first Japanese album was just certified double-platinum and they were chosen, along with TVXQ, to promote Korean Wave products at 7-Elevens in Japan. KARA released their fourth Japanese single "Go Go Summer!" on June 29th and has already sold over 100,000 copies. TVXQ followed in tenth place, following three AKB48 members and boy band EXILE. As mentioned before, TVXQ will be promoting Korean Wave products at Japanese 7-Elevens along with SNSD. TVXQ has also become the first Korean group to grace the cover of Japanese Rolling Stone magazine. The fact that Korean groups managed to obtain three of the top ten spots for most searched keywords demonstrates the ever-increasing influence of Korean music in Japan.
