J-Melo Awards analysis

Thanks to Zekeshocks and VampyrRep for the info

Data presented by NHK's J-Melo show that the Philippines topped the list in terms of Highest emailing countiries. and if it were to be compared with vis-a-vis Most requested artist. It would show that most viewers want L~arc N Ciel videos to be featured on the show. It is worthy to note that there is a significant (although I don't know of the exact figures) number of Jpop fans in the country given the results of the awards wherein the Philippines snagged 1st place in the same category twice.

In addition, the ascent of Arashi in the 2008 Most requested artist list is totally worth-mentioning. In 2007, Arashi was out of the top 10 list. The only JE groups requested in the show are KATTUN (3rd) and NEWS (5th).
But come 2008, more international JE fans requested for more of Manong Johnny's boys as such the rise of Arashi (2nd place) and Hey!Say! Jump (3rd place),  thus displaced NEWS (6th) and KATTUN (5th) from their previous years rank but at least, these two remained on the top 10 list.  Morning Musume, DIR EN GREY, Ai Otsuka, Namie Amuro were booted out of the J-Melo list but saw the rise of tohoshinki and alicenine. Meanwhile, L~arc N Ciel remained as the most requested artist.
