Arashi named most powerful celebrities in Japan, SMAP are #9


In today's entertainment world, who is the person with the highest degree of familiarity and interest from the public? "Nikkei Entertainment!"'s June edition, which is now on sale, features its fifth annual "Talent Power Ranking."

In its "Talent Power Ranking," public research company Architect investigated "public degree of familiarity (knowing the name and face)" and "degree of interest (wanting to see, wanting to know, wanting to listen)" and calculated their power as talents and finally ranked them. Those included in the list were actors, comedians, musicians, sports figures, announcers, and other celebrities and totaled 1,196 stars.

The ranking's top ten:

1位「Arashi」(2)
2位「Southern All-Stars」(3)
3位「Matsushima Nanako」(42)
4位「Beat Takeshi」(8)
5位「Ayase Haruka」(11)
6位「Fukuyama Masaharu」(1)
7位「Abe Hiroshi」(22)
8位「Akashiya Sanma」(7)
9位「SMAP」(15)
10位「Ichiro」(5)
*The number in the parenthesis indicate their rank last year

As EXPECTED, but surprising AKB48 isn't in the 10 eh?
crsg 11th-May-2012 02:58 am (UTC)
That's what I thought as well. The only reason I can think of is that AKB48 is so big, so maybe they lose points in the "public degree of familiarity (knowing the name and face)" section if some of the members are more obscure than others.

i love how everyone seems to gloss over the arashi sex scandal where they took turns banging makinoda aya until she killed herself. typical. i remember how angry arama was this broke news and now everyone just seems to forget it because arashi released a new single.

Arama should just all sit down and have a long, deep, meaningful discussion about it.

You go, boys ♥

But wow, Nanako REALLY jumped in rank from last year!

Nice SMAP went up, but I'm sad Masha went down so much :(
callmejandoe 11th-May-2012 02:57 am (UTC)
not hatin' or being all-stance on anyone in particular here but that added "SMAP at #9" really isn't necessary. Are we still going back and forth about whose era this is? Erk. Focus should really be on Nanako Matsushima - damn, from 42 to 3? Lady definitely had a good year with that drama. Good for her!
purple3purple 11th-May-2012 02:59 am (UTC)
Yeah, the SMAP bit in the title irked me when I saw it >.
karmeejane26 11th-May-2012 02:58 am (UTC)

kozumifan 11th-May-2012 03:01 am (UTC)

Congrats ^^

Wow, certainly big leaps for Matsushima Nanako and Abe Hiroshi.
modifeyes 11th-May-2012 03:05 am (UTC)
I was just watching C no Arashi earlier so maybe this is why I feel so sentimental right now, but I just have to say that this is incredible. they really have come quite far. congrats to them ♥
I'm sort of surprised that AKB didn't rank? but then again, I think there are are only a handful of them that are really recognizable/familiar to the general audience.
csaca 11th-May-2012 03:17 am (UTC)
I was listening to Wish secret talk yesterday and even in 2005 they were so negative about the future, wondering they can have a concert next year or not... And now T.T
ryocchi 11th-May-2012 03:06 am (UTC)
LOL, can't take this seriously at all, sorry.
whiterisa 11th-May-2012 03:07 am (UTC)

yuui1010 11th-May-2012 04:08 am (UTC)
Individually, all members are also in^^
miiss_hachiiko 11th-May-2012 03:08 am (UTC)
HOLY SHIT. I really thought AKB was going to beat them out. O.O"
I'm happy that these boys got the top spot this year. <3

Though, I'm not too surprised in Matsushima Nanako's jump to Number 3...
After all, she's Mita-san to everyone. ^^
