Kpop GGs on google trends

I was bored so I started playing with google trends. I used their romanized names, their hangul names, and their japanese names. I also used other ways of writing their names like "snsd" "girls generation" etc. Here are the results.

I didn't add Kara because it finds results not related to the group. Same with f(x). In the Japanese graph, results may be different also because I didn't use T-ara Japanese name, since it finds results not related to the group too.
 
Anyway, what do you think? Of course not everybody uses google, especially in asia, so results may not be completely accurate.
 
Seems china is an interesting market for GGs right now, because they all seem to have caught some kind of attention yet their average is pretty even.
 
I tried doing for BG too but Big Bang is just too common, it wouldn’t find just results for the group only.
 
Edit: just to clarify, these are the terms I used
 
"girls generation" +"snsd" +"so nyeo shi dae" + "소녀시대" + "少女時代" + "girls' generation"
 
2ne1 + "투애니ì›" + "トゥエニィワン"
 
"wonder girls" + "ì›ë”걸스" + "ワンダーガールズ"
 
"sistar" + "씨스타"
 
"T-ara" + "í‹°ì•„ë¼"

Your graph for China is missing the Chinese name for SNSD which is "少女时代"

(note that Japanese "少女時代" is not the same as Chinese "少女时代"!)

 

This is your searches for China:

This is the accurate search for China:

And then China is also completely dominated by SNSD.

Hmm interesting. Seems SNSD is by far and away the most searched for Korean gg around.

 

Oh and like others have mentioned, their naming can play an important factor in search terms, Japan an China use 少女時代, Korea uses 소녀시대 and while they're officially known as Girls' Generation in the west, I think it's obvious that "SNSD" is much more widely used - all those names will have a noticeable impact on searches. Applies to other groups as well.

put kara in Japan and it would tie to gg

 

Umm, the Japanese chart should really have Kara in it.

 

I know I wanted to see the results too but the weren't trust worthy since it included results from things not related to the group. If you actually try you'll see results showing up since before their debut Kara's debut, that's how I know they are not just theirs. Same with T-ara, so the japanese graph is a bit unfair, its true.

 

Did you use their korean hangul name when searching Korea?

 

Are you using GG name in korea or english? 

 

Did you use 少女時代 for Japan and China (I assumed it's mainly HK)?

 

I used all terms I could relate to them like SNSD, girls generation, ì†Œë…€ì‹œëŒ€, 少女時代. I did the same for wonder girls and 2ne1 and I used english and hangul for T-ara.
