Posted by leesa8622 pts Friday, November 11, 2011

Despite all of the bad press Big Bang has been receiving lately, their fame in Japan seems to know no end. In the latest issue of a Japanese magazine, a survey was conducted asking 1,000 Japanese fans on who their favorite Hallyu artists were and the boys of Big Bang triumphantly came out on top. Not only were they voted 'most favorite Korean artist', but Japanese fans showed their support by ranking them high in the categories of best vocals, dance performances, good-looks, fashion style, and ability to speak Japanese. Members Taeyang and Daesung were voted #1 and #2 for the 'artist with the best vocals', Taeyang was voted #2 for 'artist with the best dance moves', and Seungri was also voted #2 for 'artist who speaks Japanese fluently'. T.O.P and G-Dragon came in at #2 & #3 for best-looking artists, and G-Dragon was voted as #1 under the 'artist with the most fashionable style' category. Netizens who saw the magazine remarked, "The Japanese still love Big Bang", "This is awesome for Big Bang to be featured on such a famous magazine", and "Congratulations, Big Bang". In related news, Big Bang was recently voted best 'Worldwide Act' at the 2011 MTV EMA's. Source & Image: enews24 via Nate
