Celebrity Category: Arashi snatched the top spot of "2009 Annual Search Ranking - Celebrity Category". Celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2009, appearing on various dramas and CMs, having their 10th anniversary live tour - their non-stop activities in 2009 have earned them their deserved top spot of the search ranking. Standing at 2nd place in this ranking is Tohoshinki. Not only their CD sales and Tokyo Dome tour, but their break-up rumors also contributed to their ranking elevation. This year's top 5 spots are all taken by artists, as 3rd to 5th places are possessed by EXILE, GReeeeN, and AKB48. Together with the 4th spot of "Sudden Rise of Search Ranking" belongs to Michael Jackson, the year 2009 seems to be full of artists' news.
