KARA and SoShi are in the top 10 of Japan's 2010 Artists in the Spotlight.

haha meme "omitted text about soshi" Anyway news of kara topping the charts would be everywhere because they have done so well in Japan this year. It's only natural that they top virtually every chart that is around. Great work from the girls, and hope that they get a well deserved rest or vacation next year and return to us fully prepared

with new material that will dominate the charts again!

WOO~! KARA got #6 and actually managed to top Perfume :o I'm glad that KARA is actually topping SNSD for once...cuz SNSD is like the ultimate girl group in terms of popularity... But I'm glad that both groups got into top 10! ^^ Just curious, I can see Arashi at #2 and also AKB48, but who's the person at #1?

Weee that's the Hallyu Wave right there. I'm happy both SoKa did really well in Japan.

Though I think they should've placed a little bit higher in the spotlight considering that they were considered rookies (hopefully they aren't considered rookies there anymore) and did incredibly well.

SoKa fighting!

Thanks for sharing :)
