Probably a mix of divorce stuff and Maro. Mostly the divorce though, I think.

I'm surprised KARA ranked so high, but I'm happy for 'em. Love those girls.

And yeah, congratulations to Ayu for her divorce being googled a lot. Great achievement.

Very cool! Although it seems that Ayu dropped 10 places from last year.

i think kara may have ranked so high because they seem to have had a lot of controversy with their korean label? that's why they were releasing stuff in japan only for a while. they do have some korean stuff out now, though 2012 was when they flooded japan with tons of stuff.

Quote:
On January 2011, it was stated that four KARA members (all minus Gyuri) filled a lawsuit to terminate their exclusive contracts with DSP Entertainment. However, it was later revealed that Hara decided not to join Seung Yeon, Nicole and Ji Young in terminating her contract. Due the conflict DSP Entertainment suspended any Korean group activities as they declared they will no longer be managing the three members. On the following days reports about the five members and DSP Entertainment meetings surfaced, however the company has not yet released an official statement about a possible agreement.

ETA Oh wait, nvm, that **** was resolved months later lol

Well, #23 was quite decent. That Mannie "divorce"... (I have to wonder if this recent Maro tie-up affected rankings...?)

No surprise AKB48's #1. Kinda surprised that Momoclo is in the top five. Now who's #2 and #3...? I know SNSD's #4...

Wow, I'm a little disappointed that Perfume didn't rank higher, but... it's still good that Ayu is ranked much higher than I thought she would be.

I don't get the popularity of AKB48 at all but oh well, Ayu's position is pretty nice. Kuu should've been there too, but OK since this is a search chart anyway.

Is KARA only K-Pop group on the list? If that's so then I'm proud as a K-Pop fan. I don't listen to their music but it's awesome anyway.

AKB is something most people get only when they go to Japan because they're literally everywhere. (I still don't get it and I don't think I ever will) Most people who go to Japan and hate AKB48 may end up even liking them after staying in Tokyo for a while.
