Who did kids choose as their favorite entertainer?


Toy maker Bandai recently held a research survey amongst 1500 boys and girls ages 3 to 12 with the help of their guardians. In this survey, they asked the question: Who is your child’s favorite entertainer?

Taking 23.8% of the votes, Arashi took number one. Many kids stated to their parents that they like Arashi because “They’re cool, they can dance well and they’re really good at variety shows.” It seems that Arashi’s multiple talents seemed to catch even the attention of kids. On top of that many of the kids said that they became interested in the group through siblings and friends.

Following Arashi with 13.9% of votes was AKB48. Some parents commented saying that when AKB48 performs their catchy songs on television, their kids seem to be mesmerized and just sit still. Some parents also said that, “they sing and imitate their dances.” It seems that a lot of kids like AKB48 because they want to be like the members of the group.

In third place was Hanya, a comedy duo. Other comedy duos and comedians such as Audrey (fourth place), Shimura Ken (fifth place), Tano Shingo (sixth place), and Imoto Ayako (eigth place) made it into the rankings. Kasuga Toshiaki of Audrey and Tano Shingo were brought up because many of the kids like to imitate their gags. Kids imitate their gags to make others around them laugh but also to become popular amongst their peers. Comedian Shimura Ken made it into the ranking as well because many of the kids were introduced to him through their parents, who were fans before.

Here is the full list of the ranking:

1. Arashi

2.AKB48
3. Hanya (comedy duo)

4. Audrey (comedy duo)

5. Shimura Ken (comedian)

6.Tano Shingo (comedian)

7. Becky (talent)

8. Imoto Ayako (comedian)

9. SMAP

10.Sato Takeru (actor)

  8. really?? i'll check on the lyrics later...^_^
    yeah i know i have to talk to someone else too but sometimes listening to music can makes me more calm than talk...coz everytime i talk about it i'll start to cry so its useless to talk.....when i'm listening to them...i can feel the music n when i look at the lyrics...i know its a sweet thing to remember...=))

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yeah ^-^
    So... are you saying that crying is useless?
    It helps me to cry, you know xD i understand what you're saying, 'cause me too, when I began talking, I feel sad more easily. But music calm me for a limited time whereas, when I talk, it marks me for my whole life xp Haha! 'Cause my friend would have told me some good things to remember~ & When I'll feel a bit sad, I'll recall those words =)
    Ma maa~ Maybe it's just because I'm used to talk xD If you can get better with music, then it's okay. And better too, 'cause I don't like bothering haha~

  10. heheheehehe...every each of us have they own bad time n bad memories rite?? i like to intend to forget all of those bad memories...but sometimes i keep it juz to make sure i dont do the same mistakes ever again....u really lucky to have such friends who knows to calm u down with juz words as for me none..so i choose music as the main role to keep me away from my sadness...=))

  11. Of course. And yes, it can help you in the future I think, you learn from your mistakes~
    Hehe~ Actually... I have ONE friend who know almost everything about me XD & I never met her, we're chatting since two years already...
    I don't know why, but when I see my friends(who live near my home), either they're happy or normal, either they have their own problems. So, I don't like removing their good mood neither annoying them more, I'd prefer to help & talk about them x) haha... & Nobody notice that I'm a bit sad, 'cause I'd look like happy and cheerful! & It's better like this~
    Can I? Hehe~ Indeed, you don't have to mind it now x) 'Cause... I'm here to listen & talk to you! Even if I don't know how I calm you down... Nevermind. ^_^
