arashi_onToy 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:
10. Sato Takeru
9. SMAP
8. Imoto Ayako (comedian)
7. Becky (talento)
6. Tano Shingo (comedian)
5. Shimura Ken
4. Audrey (comedian)
3. Hanya (comedian)
2. AKB48
1. ARASHI

Date: 2011-02-24 03:54 pm (UTC)even the kids like them~ maybe because they're so youthful? and fun! xD
i think that kids are not easily influenced, so if they don't like something, it would take long persuasion and lots of reinforcements for them to take interest in what you're selling them :]
thanks for sharing the news~

Date: 2011-02-26 12:34 pm (UTC)This is so true. I got my 9 year old cousin into the Arashi fandom when she wanted to know what I was constantly watching on my laptop. So proud of her. xD
