Arashi tops Nikkei’s ‘Talent Power Ranking’


Which celebrities are drawing the most attention and have the highest name value? The answers were revealed through the June issue of information magazine ‘Nikkei Entertainment!‘.
This ‘Talent Power Ranking’ is held every quarter by Nikkei Entertainment and was created by ARCHITECT Co., Ltd.. They take a survey and examine people’s “degree of recognition” and “degree of interest” out of 1,196’s talents. From the survey, they calculate each talent’s “talent power score” and a wide range of celebrities can be on this ranking including actor/actress, comedians, musicians, athletes, announcers and more.
The winner for the latest ranking is none other than Arashi. The group moved up one spot from their second place finish last year. The individual members also ranked in the top 50, Sakurai Sho is #15, Aiba Masaki is #28, Ohno Satoshi is #30, Ninomiya Kazunari is #31 and Matsumoto Jun is #41.
Southern All Stars raised up their ranking to claim second place even though they’re on hiatus. The magazine analyzed that it’s mainly because of the constructive activities of Kuwata Keisuke for supporting the victims of the Tohoku earthquake. He had produced a charity songs and held concerts in Miyagi, and such activities raised the profile of Southern All Stars.
Matsushima Nanako ranked in third place. It seems that her roles in NTV’s hit drama ‘Kaseifu no Mita‘ and Fuji TV’s Getsu9 drama ‘Lucky Seven‘ was good enough to give her the third spot.
Check out the top 30 ranking below.

Official announcement from JYPE regarding Wonder Girls 2012 activities

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JYPE Dear Wonder Girls fans, Today we would like to address the details about 2012 Wonder Girls’ activity. First, we would like to emphasize that the entrance to the Japanese music market is just another stage for the Wonder Girls who already procured United States, China, and other regions worldwide as their performance stage. After Wonder Girls have received numerous inquiries from Japan and observing their advertisement and music business flourishing even without their official introduction, the members have expressed their intention for entering the Japanese market. Hence, we have been planning accordingly. Similarly to the selection process for BGM for the ‘Mashu Puff Ko’ tie up advertisement; we requested the Japanese record label to listen to the Wonder Girls’ released albums including the latest singles, before we came to a conclusion. In order to accommodate their strong mutual interest in ‘Nobody,’ we decided to move forward with ‘Nobody’ as the title song for their first Japanese album. Next, we would also like to address the domestic (Korea) schedule for Wonder Girls. Wonder Girls’ new album in Korea is scheduled to be released in early June. We have a line up of captivating performances, to meet the expectation of our domestic fans. We are delighted to inform you to highly anticipate the new looks from the Wonder Girls for this upcoming album. Last announcement is in regards to the plans for U.S. activities. After the Wonder Girls TV movie has been aired through TeenNick, we have been receiving proposals from the major broadcasting companies in the United States. Therefore, we are in the middle of arbitration for the proposals we have received. As of now, our goal is to start implementing U.S. activities as soon as the plans for the TV-related project is finalized. We plan to utilize this project as a marketing tool for the release of the new album. Finally, we would like to thank all our fans for your attention and continuous love and support for the Wonder Girls. Thank You, Source: Wondergirlsworld
