'Girls' Generation' is the most searched keyword based on Yahoo Japan's 'Famous Foreigners Ranking'.
Also, based on '2011 Yahoo Japan Keyword Ranking' (from January 1st to October 31st), the girls were ranked 3rd in the overall ranking among famous figures, behind AK848 and Arashi.
While Girls' Generation came in 2nd in the 'Famous Female Ranking', the girls' firm reputation as the famous foreign popstars and Hallyu stars put them on top of other big foreign names in the 'Foreigners Category'. Kara who debuted before Girls' Generation in Japan took the 2nd spot.
The results also served as an indication of the huge popularity of Kpop in Japan as most of the top 10 positions in the 'Famous Foreigners Ranking' were occupied by Korean artists.
