ORICON 2010 BEST NEWS MAKER, AYU GOT NO 1 POSITION!
 

Ayu won number one position on this ranking...
i'm not sure what is it all about, because i just read google translation about it.
But i think she won as the best news maker in this year...

here is the screencaps of the site, with google translation

and here is the link to the article
http://www.oricon.co.jp/music/specia...201/index.html

i think she win this because the news about her taken over seiko record, it's really a big deal for her to get this record from seiko...

in the 2nd place is AKB48 (yeah...who else?! ~_~)

3rd place is KPOP that entering jpop scene very aggresively...

suprisingly Arashi just got number 5 position...

anyway, please correct me if i missunderstand the whole article...
but one thing for sure that she got number one on this ranking. CONGRATS AYU!

Thanks for the news!!

Yep, that's basically it. :)

The ranking is based on news on ORICON Style, sales figures and artiste popularity. ;)

Anyway, what strange groups there are in the rankings... o_0

^wow...thanks for the proper conclusion about what is this article all about...

so cool that ayu still get number one position..suprisingly no kanayan in this chart...or koda kumi with her 10th anniversary thing...

i can understand why the number 4 spot is about cover album, it's kinda a trend like now in japan, hideaki, juju, even koda make cover album...

Cool that Ayu is number one! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats Ayu!

cool! ^^ go Ayu!

Way to go girl! ;D

YEAH!
You go girl!! :heart

nice!

Yay for Ayu!

Woot, go Ayu! :D

Ayu's doing really well in the charts and search rankings this year!

Awesome for us fans, considering she seemed to get so little media this year :yes

Congratulations ayu! ^_^

aww congrats! she deserved to break that record too.

Nice!! Still making headlines Ayu!!!!!!!
Keep it up!

that's really cool :D
glad she got the 1st place =D

Two of my favorite things right now occupying the first two spots? Loving this end of year lists domination. :luv2

This is from ORICON and we got further proof from Yahoo!Japan... now who says, people have "lost interest" and she'e "worn out her welcome"? :laugh

What the!? :thud I'm quite surprised about this - AKB48 should have gotten the top, but Ayu makes quite a bit of an upset there! Congrats to Ayu!!!

By looking at the rankings, Ayu might be a bit of surprise, and AKB48 and Arashi are quite expected, but I'm also quite a bit surprised about KPop (maybe is it because a new wave of KPop artists coming to Japan in 2011?), Fuyumi Sakamoto (who's she!?), and WHY IN THE WORLD WE HAVE KOBUKURO, SEIYUUS, ANIME CHARACTERS, and EVEN COVER ALBUMS IN THE LIST!!!??? :thud

Whether it's legit or not...YAY AYU lol!

go ayu :woohoo:

L really paid off her hard work and great marketing strategy to put her in save week

YOU GOO AYU!! :D

'Bout time they gave Ayu a No. 1 on something. She's been workin her ass off this year so she totally deserves it. :D

thats great :)

yayyyy our Queen is still a Queen afterall haha..
greatttt!!!
proud of her!

I'm still quite surprised why Arashi got #5...what was last year's rankings overall?

That's quite a decent ranking for Arashi I feel. Last year was their year, what with great singles/album and that huge 5x10 anniversary plus the nationwide tour. They would have done better in ratings then. This year they're still popular, but they've toned down lots compared to last year, of course they won't be as high up in the rankings.

If there's any surprise with these rankings, it's that Kumi isn't up there. She didn't seem to make as big a splash with her 10th anniversary the way ayu or Arashi did, which is saddening. I was looking forward to a Kuu-dominated year.

Congrat Ayu ^^! Japan media still cares about her !^^!

Congrats to ayu!!:)

Go Ayu! Way to prove her lasting popularity!

Maybe Ayu's record-breaking single (25 consecutive - most for any female artist and solo artists of any gender) must have topped AKB48 because while AKB48 set a record, theirs is only a one-single talk while Ayu's single meant a record-breaking steak that spans back to over eight years ago...

YAYYY, GO AYU! :D

Great!! :D

Ayu for #1, heck yeah! xD

oh this is cool cool
