Azero 877 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Every year, Nikkei Entertainment magazine releases a series of rankings which arrange celebrities in various fields according to familiarity and interest. Later in the year, the magazine also releases a ranking based on concert attendance in Japan, ranking acts based on the overall amount of people whom attended their performances over the course of the year. This ranking is based on seating capacity for venues, not necessarily tickets sold. Nikkei Entertainment made the decision to include fanmeet events in the totals this year, breaking with tradition. That being said, Big Bang topped the ranking this year with 1,859,000 attendees at 60 concerts. They were followed by Arashi with 939,000 attendees at 32 concerts. Third place went to Kanjani8 with 875,000 attendees at 35 concerts. Check out the rest of the ranking below! Nikkei Entertainment Concert Mobilization Power Ranking 2016 1.

wiaraewiwiarae 6,637 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 · Hidden by Maphisto40, November 5, 2016 - Poster requested removal Hidden by Maphisto40, November 5, 2016 - Poster requested removal BB have been touring like crazy for the last 2 years. YG is working them to the limit before the enlistment. EXO, SHINee and even iKON are ahead of 2PM. Was abandoning their top position in Korea worth being 2nd tier group in Japan? Link to comment

kittykoo 398 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Nice to see Morning Musume on the list, especially since most of their concerts are held in venues that seat 1000-2500 + Nippon Budokan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midna 2,032 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 2 and 3 added together would still be less than Bigbang that's because Arashi did arena tours this year. BB did stadiums and domes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurray 101 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 E-girls and Nogizaka yay and nogizaka doing better than akb? Nogi usually does better on a list like this because theatre shows count as a concert (I think capacity is 229). This would be the same for all 48 groups. HKT had 165 shows and AKB had 289. So they didnt do many big show Hurray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple_Rin 489 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 *rolleyes* but 2 and 3 can easily get as much as 1 if they do the same venue and the same number of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedove 1,849 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 2 and 3 added together would still be less than Bigbang2 and 3 can do so much more than Bigbang if they also do all domes+stadiums. More than half of 2 and 3's concerts are arenas. Plus Bigbang don't even go to places like Hokkaido where it's hard to sell domes, but 2 and 3 do. Also, most Japanese acts don't even do fanmeet and these numbers include fanmmeet. Imagine if Johnny's actually allow their acts to do fanmeet. They'll never do it in just arenas, oh no, too small for them. They'd do it in domes or stadiums instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple_Rin 489 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 i know it is a fact that they got no 1. but before you gloat, see the number of times too. it's not that other acts can't. it it useless to argue when the fans want to believe that big bang is actually more popular then no 2 and no 3. so be it. go and gloat that no 1 is so popular and loved by Japanese people. keep negging people but it won't change the fact really.

shinning star 26 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 What's the different between KPOP's fanmeet and JPOP's fanmeet that made a KPOP's fanmeet counted equal with a concert while JPOP's fanmeet not? Instead of fanmeet, why not counting concert's live-viewing? Isn't it have closer meaning to concert mobilization power, since people go there if they couldn't get the venue ticket? Back in 2014, Sandaime got 1.5M attendances from 60 concerts in arena and dome. Good to know that Big Bang can get almost the same number with only 30? concerts, so that they still have time to did 30 fanmeets to get another high number. Dome&stadium base concerts must be helped a lot to make that number. I'm not a fan, but congrats for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
