08 - L'Arc~en~Ciel - 3,21%
09 - ayumi hamasaki - 2,62%
10 - BoA - 1,20%

The TOP 10 of the most popular Asian artists in France for a concert in 2012:
Poster for the French dream, a show BIGBANG would also benefit from the best stocks within each group member solo or duo. This may be the asset is missing from the AAA MUSIC BANK IN PARIS to a full house at Paris-Bercy. A concert or YG FAMILY BIGBANG in Europe is possible, however, largely in the course of next year.

The Japanese rock resists and will possess the second and third steps of the podium. Probably no one would have expected such popularity two years ago, but fans of ONE OK ROCK have valiantly defended the rising star of the Japanese scene that wins the silver medal. If you missed, we recommend you listen to the album Zankyo Reference. The massive mobilization of the fanbase ONE OK ROCK leads to a percentage may be overvalued relative to market realities. Within months, the group has become number one in Japan in the heart of the French public to the group's flagship visual kei (the GazettE) and especially in front of Johnny's, soundly defeated!

This is the biggest lesson from this survey: the boyband of the agency Johnny & Associates have apparently as popular with a public demobilized, tired of vain hopes, and has probably died partly the lure Korean fashion and especially more accessible. Various elements, such as the European release October 21, 2011 the personal album of one of KinKi Kids, show that all is not lost, but would it not already too late to fill the largest rooms of Paris? A tie at the end of the first race in the category Japanese idols, KAT-TUN and ARASHI are the tie in the final. KAT-TUN finished sixth behind the Korean Super Junior and SHINee, and little in front of ARASHI.

The Japanese seem boyband take the same path as Jpopstars women, on the decline for several years. If Ayumi Hamasaki is the most acclaimed, it competes with the pack no male groups. BoA, who had received favors from public Kpop to qualify hen farm logically TOP10 virgin female Japanese idols, yet being widely promoted in France. These last, beaten by Johnny's team despite his loss of popularity, were not even managed to extricate himself from the first run.
