Whoo! Go Soshi! Suju's at 4th for the male category. Not bad! Love SuperGeneration!

what? se7en's coming back. =)

^ HE IS??? O yeah....he is....during october?..

OMG...i expected DBSK to be 1st!

^ I suppouse that who stays in home takes the cake. DBSK are really busy in Japan rightnow with their tour which is hitting HUGE arenas like Saita Super Arena and Tokyo Dome (I want to be there T__T) and now that Share the World break the 100.000 barrier...Is quite impossible for them to be on Top ALWAYS and in ALL the countries. But they are still popular in their hometown and that is what matters

Congrats to BigBang and shoshi btw
