It is that time of the year again, half of the year has flown by. As such, many Japanese music charts have released their half-yearly ranking such as Soundscan and Oricon. Today we’re bringing you the JOYSOUND Karaoke Half-Yearly Ranking for 2014. This is an interesting ranking as it shows what were certain artists’ hit songs. Likewise, which artists are popular among the general public. The ranking is split up into various categories such as Enka and Anisong to show who were the heavy hitters for their own genre.
We are able to see timeless classics such as Cruel Angel Thesis and the most recent infectious hit song, Koisuru Fortune Cookie! For the artist chart, we see that AKB48, EXILE and Arashi are holding the coveted top 3 spots once again.
