We can see that ARASHI (910) got a rocket start, and NEWS (424), Hey! Say! JUMP (386), and KAT-TUN (347) are approaching Arashi with a slim margin from each other.

At this point, we cannot expect the final result at all as this annual poll always dramatically changes as it comes to the end. And actually, votes for NEWS, Hey! Say! JUMP, and KAT-TUN are increasing amazingly fast.

Lastly, we'd like to select several hot comments from you. Guys, this poll has 8 days left.
Let your voice be heard.

Comment to Arashi

What's great about Arashi is not just their music, but their professionalism and their commitment to their fans. They're all hard worker, and seem very humble as a whole. There is something in their "partnership" that other groups don't seem to have: a sense of unity and support that seems effortless.

Comment to NEWS

I believe NEWS are underrated. They don't a lot of the extravaganza many groups do but what they have is so much love for their fans. They're willing to do so much for their fans bc as Keiichan said, "Our stages might be getting bigger, but its only to be closer to you." They all love each other and they're such great friends. NEWS have been through so much and despite that they just come out stronger and stronger. They've lost members and fans but I've never seen them more happy and successful as a group. Each year they keep growing and growing and each year they just continuously shine brighter.
