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.
Since I am so happy that my small knowledge of Hanggul and Hiragana/Katakana is paying off. I decided to research on other JE Songs as well. In particular, boyband groups KAT-TUN, NewS and Hey!Say!Jump
Dozo.

I'm going to attend a karaoke session on Friday at Music21. And because I don't want to get disappointed again because of the system not having Wish or Love So Sweet I decided to do a research on Arashi songs at the kumyoung website.
Kumyoung karaoke system is mostly used here in the Philippines. You'll be able to find one in your favorite Timezone branches located at major malls in the country.
So now, I present to you the list of the songs I plan to sing with their respective codes of course. (hehehe)

On Jun's role being half-Filipino
TBS might be riding the hype of the case of Noriko Calderon, a girl born in Japan but isn't really a native of the land of the rising sun. Her parents are both Filipinos who entered Japan illegally before she was born.
She doesn't know her real nationality until her parents were arrested in 2006.
The 13 year old girl together with her parents are facing deportation. But the parents requested that she be allowed to stay in Japan because she will have difficulty studying in the Philippines. She doesn't know Tagalog and will not be able to get credits for her studies in Japan and will have to start elementary school all over again. The deadline for the decision of her case is due today Feb 13.
TBS is the only network in Japan that is covering this issue. sources: japan probe 1, 2, 3
Regardless of TBS riding on the issue, I hope this will not put a bad light on FIlipinos. I bet there are many other cases like this in Japan not only for half-Filipinos. I hope that Noriko gets to continue her studies in Japan. I feel sorry for her that she had to go through all this trouble when her parents only wanted to give her a good life. My heart is bleeding for Noriko and to those who are in the same situation right now. I'm praying for you guys.
Edit:
I commend TBS for covering the story of Noriko. I've read that there has been a media boycott regarding the issue.
News reports suggested that government authorities might divide the family, with only Noriko staying in Japan to complete her studies while her parents be deported later this month sources: bbc, breitbart, video from janjan tv with english translation
The United Nations is also probing Noriko's case. source AFP/ inquirer
Noriko will stay in Japan alone. Her parents will be deported on April 13. AFP/ Inquirer
On Jun: I expect nothing less from my ichiban. He has been choosy with his acting jobs but has been excellent at it. Go Matsujun! Do you best!
