D-addicts makes Japans No1 English Magazine (well sort off)

Post by nxi4 » Dec 21st, '05, 10:48

Just to let you know of something i spotted a while back.

In Japan, there is a free magazine every Friday called Metropolis covering everything from news, sports, entertainment, classifieds etc.

Back in September they did a story how in June(?) the most popular search on Google Japan was "Densha-otoko".

Beside the text was a frame of the search results for "Densha-otoko" and low and behold, there was D-addicts' drama wiki as the first result!!

Obviously the top search on Google Japan for that month would have of course been the kanji for Densha-otoko and not english, but anyway :roll .

When I saw D-addicts making an appearence in Metropolis which most foreigners in Japan read every week, I thought I would have to post it here. :-)

It's written in English because, if you read the magazine cover, it is "Japan's No.1 English Magazine".

Crazy stuff!

Looking at the search results, at least 3 have some links to Bittorrent!
