In Nikkei Entertainment’s latest issue, they revealed the results of their “Talent Power Ranking 2013“. Conducted last February, the ranking was based on factors, such as name recognition and public’s level of interest to the said individual/group.
It was said that 1251 individual/groups were chosen ranging from actors, talent, musician, variety show hosts, and sports player.
Here are the result for “Talent Power Ranking 2013 TOP 10”

It was a bit sad that Arashi was in the 2nd place, but I’m glad that the score between Arashi and Ayase Haruka is just .5% in difference. Nevertheless, I love Ayase so I’m not complaining. SMAP and Sakurai Sho in Top 10 is really awesome and for Sakurai to be in the top 10 alone just shows how popular he is. XD.
On the side note, Nikkei also did a “Talent Soaring Ranking“, which include talents that made a huge improvement or a huge leap from their past rank due to their increase popularity. The only JE member included is Kis-My-Ft2‘s Tamamori Yuta (#10), who managed to score 20.0% this year, a 10.2% difference from his 9.8% score last 2012. Tamamori’s increase in popularity was attributed to his Ikinari Ougon Densetsu stint.
To all, Omedatou!~~~
