A ranking of topics that users ask and answer on Yahoo! Chiebukuro (Yahoo! Answers) between 1st January 2009 and 31st October 2009.
"Yahoo! Chiebukuro" is the largest knowledge retrieval service in Japan, and the Yahoo Japan Corporation has been providing this service since April 2004. Their aim is to connect people who want to question and those who want to answer, and the sharing of wisdom and knowledge among the participants. [Source]
Yahoo! Japan Search Word Ranking 2009
Yahoo! Chiebukuro
10. One Piece
9. PS3
8. Adultery/Extra-marital affairs
7. iPod
6. Kitano Makoto
5. PSP
4. Diet
Included random entries and some answers from the top 3 chiebukuro.
3. Sakai Noriko
・If you were the judge on the Oshio Manabu and Noriko Sakai case, what will your verdict be?
・Isn't it weird the way the media has reported on Noriko Sakai???
・Did you watch Noriko Sakai's apology?
2. TOHOSHINKI
・My mom was cheated of her Tohoshinki tickets.
・I became a Tohoshinki fan after hearing Survivor, what about you?
・Do you feel embarrassed being a Tohoshinki fan?
The writer said she felt embarrassed because she's already 30. She got a reply from an Arashi fan who confessed that she's also 'old', a housewife with a kid as well but it does not interfere with being a fan.
1. ARASHI
・Is Aiba-kun the least popular member in Arashi?
When searching for Arashi members using Yahoo!, I get these results.
Matsumoto Jun - About 5,970,000 hits
Ohno Satoshi - About 5,660,000
Sakurai Sho - About 5,650,000
Ninomiya Kazunari - About 5,610,000
Aiba Masaki - About 3,670,000
Reply :
Please don't judge Aiba-chan just from numbers! All the Arashi members are special in their own way. Aiba-chan works hard in varieties. And he has an October drama. You shouldn't ask such a question. Arashi and Aiba-chan have many fans, it's such an insensitive question. Just because he isn't in movies does not mean he is not popular. Anyway, what is the point of your question?
・I'm going to lend a sister's friend an Arashi album, which one do you think is the best one to introduce to a new fan?
・Am I an Arashi otaku?
I've been an Arashi fan for 5 years and am now in 1st year of junior high. My friends call me an Arashi otaku. Am I one?
-Always buy the first press CD
-Always buy first press albums too
-Even if I can't afford it, will buy magazines featuring Arashi
-In the fan club
-Own their calendars
-Room full of posters
Reply:
Completely normal!!
All Arashi fans are like that☆
I'm a big Arashi fan too and the same.

What type of day will it be today?
18th November 2009
Hello
I've safely returned home
This time, I travelled to...
Ta-dah
Ger... Ger... Germany
Is it surprising?
Today is the first day of filming
for a new drama
Because of my involvement in this drama
My off days were shortened...
It's alright
As I enjoyed it
It's been a while since we met
Eh? We've seen one another recently?
Those kind of comments were overheard
It's a totally mature cast
Quite nerve-wrecking
My role this time
A wealthy man
Which means, my clothes too will be rich [laugh]
So
I'm thinking what kind of day it'll be today
The first episode of News Sokuho wa Nagareta airs today
It's okay if you can't watch it live
There are repeat broadcasts
Asking everyone to watch
This entry has become one for advertising
This has been Narimiya.

The Hot Kiss
This guy is kissing me
Who is it!?
That's what you're thinking ne
I'll make an introduction to all of you here
In fact...
This person...
Is someone...
Important to me...
My childhood friend!
"I watched Boku Kimi!" he mailed me
Although he's my childhood friend,
it's nothing like the relationship between Mayu and Takuma
We were in the same elementary and junior high school
Even now when he sees me on TV, he'll contact me.
Anyway, this guy and another one of our close friends are looking into forming 'The Department of Japanese Film Society', or something like that
Actually, it's formed already, but...
I've yet to participate, I'm a ghost member
I got a kiss from that friend.
If it's something like a panel, I think it might be a bit difficult
But, I'm really grateful to have a friend who always supports me
The existence of friends make me look forward to my activities
I'm filled with thoughts like "I'll do my best too!!"
Thank you very much
From now on, I feel that I'll be thankful to have an important friend.
A friend is the treasure of a lifetime.
Everyone, treasure your friends too ne.
Aww someone left this comment on that post - 'Mao-chan, for you to still be friends with someone from your childhood till now, it shows that you're really yasashii (gentle/kind/affectionate)ne.'
Of course all we care about is how yasashiiiii she is with MatsuJun (>8<)

Ayaka's last solo live 'MTV Unplugged Ayaka'
Ayaka performs her last live solo with a smile
19th October 2009
Ayaka performed her last solo live performance 'MTV Unplugged ayaka' on 18th November at Osaka-Jo Hall.
This live performance is the biggest that MTV has held so far, with over 200,000 applications for the free concert. Only 10,000 were given invitations to the event. The venue, Osaka Jo-Hall, is where Ayaka watched her first live when she was in 5th grade. Her desire to become an artiste started budding when she watched Janet Jackson in action. As the hall quietened down and silence descended, Ayaka appeared on stage with her new short bob and a black dress.
"I have been looking forward to this day for so long, I'm so happy to see everyone. I will send my thoughts which cannot be put into words into each and every song I sing. Stay with me to the very end!" said Ayaka as she belted out her debut single 'I believe'.
"Osaka-Jo Hall is the place where I first saw my first live, Janet Jackson, when I was in 5th grade. I did not expect that I would stand at this very stage to perform 10 years later." she said, reminiscing.
Halfway through the performance, she did a cover of Michael Jackson's Human Nature. "Michael Jackson was the one that made a strong musical impact on me when I was in 4th Grade. I didn't understand a word he sang, and it was music I have never heard before but it sent an electric jolt through my body. I was sobbing when I watched the movie 'Michael Jackson This Is It'. Today, I will do a cover, putting all the respect I feel for him into his song."
A great applause rang in the hall when the introductory notes to 'Mikazuki' began. Some in the audience could not hold their tears back as Ayaka sang under the spotlight. "Thank you", she said, then "Let's stand!" The audience heeded her call and moved to the rhythm together. Ayaka pointed to the fans one by one as she called out "Thank you." As she sang her last song 'WINDING ROAD' the audience of 10,000 sang in unison. "My whole life, I will never forget this moment." "I love you." "Thank you!" Ayaka smiled at the audience as she sang and thanked them.
After enthusiastic applause and calls for her, Ayaka came back for an encore.
"I did feel a little uneasy before it began, but with everyone's power, this has turned out to be a really great live. What I am today, is because of all your support. Today is my last live before my break but as I sing, I also feel that this is the start of a new beginning. I hope to take things slowly step by step at my own pace. I will go through everyday with the thought of seeing everyone again," Ayaka said as fans shouted back "We will wait for you!"
Finally she sang the last single before her break 'Minna Sora no Shita'. Ayaka sang with her hand on her chest, as if to engrave her feelings in the hearts of the audience. The performance ended late into the night as Ayaka continued to wave to the crowd, smiling and thanking them.
Her husband, Mizushima Hiro, was among the audience.

Yamada Ryosuke lands first lead role in drama series 'Hidarime Tantei EYE'
18th November 2009
Yamada Ryosuke (16) from Hey!Say!JUMP will play his first lead role in a drama that will start airing next January (Saturdays at 9) on Nippon Television.
'Hidarime Tantei EYE' was aired as a tanpatsu in October. Yamada plays a junior high school student (Tanaka Ainosuke) who receives a corneal transplant from his elder brother. He then starts getting flashes from the new eye that led him to face off against a criminal organization.
Yamada commented,"I was very happy when I knew that I was to play Ainosuke again. I hope to make filming go smoothly with the help of the other actors. When I read the script and get to the unexpected endings, I think "I was tricked!". This time the stories will develop towards more unpredictable conclusions. I hope everyone will accompany Ainosuke as he gets embroiled in more cases and mysteries!"
Yokoyama Yu (28) and Ishihara Satomi (22) will also return.

2nd season of Code Blue announced
Yamapi makes history at Getsu 9 slot
17th November 2009
Yamashita Tomohisa (24) from NEWS will reprise his role as a doctor in 'Code Blue Doctor Heli Kinkyuu Kyuumei 2nd season' that starts in January at the 9pm Monday slot next year. The first season aired on Thursdays at 10pm last summer and this time Fuji TV has moved it to the most prominent spot in its lineup. Furthermore Yamashita was also the lead in a Monday at 9 drama that aired this July and this is the first time in history that anyone has held the spot in the main role with one season separating the two appearances.
Yamapi's power seems unstoppable. In summer, he played a pro basketball player in 'Buzzer Beat Gakeppuchi no Hero'. Currently 'Tokyo DOGS' (lead played by Oguri Shun) is on air and soon the next season will start with Yamashita in the lead again.
Ever since the Getsu 9 slot was established in 1987, there has never been a case of anyone in the lead role separated by a mere season, proving the strength of his popularity. The average ratings for 'Code Blue' that started airing in July 2008 was 15.9%, the highest among dramas on commercial broadcast that season. The special that aired in January earlier this year garnered 23.1% in ratings.
The other young case members, Aragaki Yui (21), Toda Erika (21), Higa Manami (23) and Asari Yousuke (22) will also return in the 2nd season.
'Doctor Heli' are doctors who fly in special helicopters to aid patients as soon as possible and also administer medical treatment while transporting them to medical institutions.
Yamashita commented,"I want to show the importance of these helicopters so that the number of 'Doctor Heli' will increase." Expect a powerful medical drama this New Year.

Mizushima Hiro nude in new photobook
Mizushima Hiro goes nude in 3rd photobook
2nd November 2009
Preorder on YesAsia:
Mizushima Hiro Photo Album - Water Island PEACE
Actor Mizushima Hiro (25) will appear nude in his 3rd photobook 'Water Island~PEACE' which goes on sale on 7th December.
Running around butt naked, his face in ecstasy as the cut is made dangerously low on his abdomen, those are the kind of shots included in the photobook. The photos were so provocative that staff who worked on them said,"Isn't it better if we do some retouch?"
Mizushima's image so far has always been of an 'ouji-sama' (a prince). In February this year, he married singer Ayaka (21). When he turned 25 in April, he started to show himself more as 'otona no otoko' (a grown-up man). So going nude can be said to be very good timing. An event to commemorate the launch of the photobook is also planned on 13th December. 'Water Island~PEACE' is expected to retail at 2200 yen.
