Big congrats to Mr Children, Exile, & Dreams Come True(!) for continuing to prove that they are the best that Japan has to offer! Also a special congrats to a couple of my personal favorites Koda Kumi & Ayumi!

This is quite the big news in Korean Entertainment (& Japan) for TVXQ to have reached the top 10. I love the guys and all, but I myself am surprised. Considering they are the only non-Japanese group to have made it to the top 10! (Though their album "Share The World/We Are made it to 15th place). Amazing job guys! Keep on making us proud!
