And LOL @ men not liking Gackt!

[yuki_unmei]

That's cool, thanks for sharing!
how is it that Koda Kumi's in both gender categories, but nowhere in the generation categories?

[ownsarai]

^She didn't make the top 10 in any generation categories I guess.

[yuki_unmei]

^ooh cause she's at 16 in both. i see

[ayuayu798]

Yay! ayu!!!

[zyoeru]

[SunshineSlayer]

Congrats to Namie and Ayu. Biggest congrats though has to go to Arashi for being on every list and at or near the top of almost all of them.

[Lee^ChaN]

thanks!
of course boybands win

[aloopy]

congrats to ayu
and yay for namie <3

funny how arashi and exile topped the charts on the list for people in their teens and 40's.
that's amazing

[douggn]

Yay ayu, of corse ayus higher with men than women, you should she how easy girls who see my pictures of ayu get jealous and start "nit picking" at how she looks lol but thats over here in, not japan though

[dreamland2.0]

Congratz ayu! And everyone else!!

[rakeru]

this is really interesting.... teens AND 40-somethings love Arashi. are those older people having their midlife crisis?

[AyuGAME]

thanks for the info

[andre2907]

It kind of freaks me out how in Japan people in their 40s like boybands. I mean, Johnny's and anywhere boybands are popular in 2009 freaks me out PERIOD.
