I was just about to make a comment about NewS about that. XD

Well, at least Kat-tun's not on it. xD

*delurks* How in the hell does have more member bound than freakin TOKIO?



Youtube to prove how ridiculous that is.

Yay for ARASHI tho :D

This clip is pure love. <3

taichi you're so adorable. <3 Too bad I have no Tokio icons. Here's an Aiba icon instead.

Well, I can see why Kinki's number one, considering that they're so married they've been together for such a long time even before the debut and stuff.

Awesomeness for Arashi XD

[everanangel604.livejournal.com]

are my eyes deceiving me? no kanjani8 here? *peers* Despite that, I'm extremely happy Arashi ranked so high! :D

[dream-raine.livejournal.com]

what a funny rating...but Kinki Kids is already married!

[zinnie4arashi.livejournal.com]

how did NEWS rank higher than TOKIO? I m not against NEWS, just what their rank for this :S
YAY ARASHI!

[laftkeichan.livejournal.com]

ehehehhe NEWS, you guys are so unpredictable, ne... XDD

[larrapin.livejournal.com]

Yay for Arashi! <3 But I hardly think SMAP is only one above NEWS considering how long SMAP has been together and all the hardships they've been through. <_<

[chela-ela.livejournal.com]

Where is Kanjani8?

[shade-of-kim.livejournal.com]

im kinda suprised that kanjani8 didnt made the list, but yay arashi! so proud of them~

[xanderave.livejournal.com]

I think they got News and Kanjani8 mixed up because of Ryo.

"Oops~ wrong group."

[yokainomiko.livejournal.com]

Lol, I'd believe that xP I love NEWS, but it's not exactly one of the groups I think of when it comes to JE and member love.

[nana-komatsu7.livejournal.com]

Arashi deserve their place and I'm really happy about them and also about Kinki but I can't believe NewS are in this chart and Kanjani 8 are not o__________O

[ashmauve.livejournal.com]

HAAHAHAAAA!!
i think kinkikids got 1st because theirs only 2 of em. there's 5 in arashi hey LOL
arashi is popular for their BOND! >///

[mofuchan.livejournal.com]

hahha, I was thinking the same.. can 2 ppl really qualify as a 'group'? And how come TXT not on?

[ichigo-246.livejournal.com]

lol. another survey.

and no K8 .___.

[jg-bookends.livejournal.com]

haha, just like everyone else, the first thing that came to mind was....EHHH?!! NEWS?!! Did they get something wrong here....I mean, come on, there is no way they can be above Tokio...but like Pacilia said, at least KAT-TUN is not there...LOL XD

[whited-79.livejournal.com]

This is so funny that Eito are not on it!

[nurfarhanah.livejournal.com]

yay for ARASHI!!!
K8 should in there..

[zephia.livejournal.com]

Hahaha.. I see other people had the same reaction as me when they saw NEWS XD

KK.. not surprised XD Yay Arashi!

[minlilin.livejournal.com]

thanks for posting this piece of news , pretty interesting

[kirei-kisetsu.livejournal.com]

Yay for Arashi! But I'm surprised Tackey and Tsubasa aren't on it o_O when NEWS is (i love NEWS but they're not really THAT close)

[zinnie4arashi.livejournal.com]

I just had this thought...WHERE'S V6?!!!! they're so awesome!

[beep2x.livejournal.com]

agree with most of previous comments.. but i'm still kinda confused whether Koichi's soulmate is Tsuyoshi or Tomoya xP gotta watch more Domoto Kyoudai >_____< YaY for Arashi!! ^______^ NEWS' fans probably was pointing at "some" members' ai, like the Shige-Koyama-Tegoshi or TegoMass or Ryopi love ne =D~ but then K8's Yoko-Hina should be included on the list ._____.

[glem74.livejournal.com]

Yay for Arashi! I guess only an Ohmiya combi would have beaten Kinki Kids but I agree with the NEWS and Eito mix-up. There's no way NEWS are closer than Eito. And their higher than Tokio too. Too weird.
But thanks for sharing this information, it's always nice to see the guys bonds confirmed in such a way.
