    I love all Arashi’s shows! SMAPxSMAP is good, too. If only Cartoon KAT-TUN was still airing, it should’ve been up there! And how come NEWS don’t have their own show?

    woohoo wow… I was expectng that VSA will be higher than shiyagare but wew.. haha sugoi arashi! sasuga! I’m proud of my boys :D sugoi na they were able to top SmapXsmap which is an epic variety show too :D wohooo!!! love all the arashi programs :D I’m also surprised of HnA even though the ratings of Anshi is higher than the ratings of HnA.. it was able to top the ranking hehe..though I love old HnA.. I miss the old segments >.< while.. haha xD VSArashi is getting more epic and loving it more

  • blank_stare

    i miss cartoon kat-tun! but anyway i haven’t seen any JE shows yet. I have to know where people watch it. I can’t seem to find them in youtube.

  • Anonymous

    People can argue over Johnnies and their singing or dancing abilities but TBH no one can really say much about them and their TV programs. Of course they are Japanese so people who are not familiar with Japanese style and humor won´t probably find them funny. I´m not a fan of Japanese Entertainment programs as I find most of them really annoying, silly and not funny at all but I really like Johnny´s ones. I haven´t seen all from the list but those I´m familiar with I score pretty high.
    Despite not listening to Arashi and SMAP I really like watching their TV programs or dramas and films. They´re much better hosts and actors than singer. Just my opinion.
    BTW I would personally put Cartoon KAT-TUN as number 5.

  • arashiroiyuki

    yeah because whenever someone uploads on YT it would be deleted in just a few hours cause of copyright issues>.>
    if you really want to watch their shows you can search groups on LJ, join the community &  then download there but there are also rules on those comm..

    Aww, i love Shin Domoto Kyoudai the most ^^.

  • blank_stare

    yeah don’t like doing stuff like that

    I think HSJ’s show was 11 or 12

  • Anonymous

    Oh yeah, their doing some lame limousine thing now >.<

  • Anonymous

    My Personal fav was Arashi no Shukudai-kun.

    And maaan, HnA has gone down in term of quality and segments that they’re trying to do…no VIP room anymore, now its just some limousine thing with only TWO of the members, like what? :(

  • http://twitter.com/hazel_darlene Darlene Hazel

    mannequin 5 will be back :) there was a model who blogged about that… just this wk

  • arashiroiyuki

    actually it was Arashi’s variety shows which made me hooked on them, then just started listening to their music (other than HanaDan theme songs), watching their dramas/movies, and so on..
    I think, on variety shows, they’re able to show more of their personality and un-idol-like side which most of the fans love about them:).

  • http://twitter.com/hazel_darlene Darlene Hazel

    wah!! ME TOO!!! >.< AnS will be forever the best xD 

  • http://twitter.com/riina0717 れいな

    Cartoon kat-tun should have been up there. that show was hilarous! 

  • http://twitter.com/riina0717 れいな

    -sighs- i know right :( 

  • KATTUNnoARASHI

    It doesn’t surprise me that Arashi has the top 2 spots, nor that VS Arashi is number 3.  I love ALL of them. However, like Blankstare says, I miss Cartoon KATTUN.  I think THEY should get another program.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1173575658 Kelvin Yong

    personally i liked V6’s Gakkou e Ikou MAX!! the most…but i can understand why it wasnt ranked…

  • http://twitter.com/hazel_darlene Darlene Hazel

    Srsly… News should also have a program >.< I feel sad for the fans of news

    by the way I wonder why shounen club is not there

  • arashiroiyuki

     yeah I’ve read something like that just todayXDD and also the announcement about nakajima-san. maybe HnA would return some of its segment soon..

  • http://twitter.com/hazel_darlene Darlene Hazel

    yeah! I hope they would be back already… I miss all the segments esp. VIP, Mannequin 5 and derby ranking xD really love the boys being hurt xD I’m a DoS

  • arashiroiyuki

    lol. I also love itXD that’s why I also miss their sugoroku game:P not enough batsu game on those three shows.

  • http://twitter.com/hazel_darlene Darlene Hazel

    sou sou!! their baka moments are going lesser and lesser… >.< I miss the always-bullied-sho days in VS arashi

  • http://twitter.com/hazel_darlene Darlene Hazel

    I also miss the A no Arashi days and the D no Arashi days.. the mago mago days xD hahaha I miss them interacting with the public xD and of course the epic A no arashi’s xD

  • http://www.facebook.com/heather.mottram Heather Louise Mottram

    I like SMAPXSMAP and Shin Domoto Kyoudai but Cartoon KAT-TUN was my favourite, I really miss it :(

  • arashiroiyuki

    @twitter-57651390:disqus  ^^; childminder segment is also cute ne~ can’t forget the episode of sho with koharu-chan>< but it's quite understandable why there are less interaction with the public now, especially because they're really famous now unlike those days..

  • Anonymous

    For me, All time favorite is Arashi no Shukudai-kun. But I think Arashi can somehow manage to do a good variety show. In recent three shows, I rank VSA as one, HnA as two and Shiyagare as three.

  • http://twitter.com/hazel_darlene Darlene Hazel

    haha yeah childminder gosh! there would be more celebrity families who would want arashi to take care of them since there are so many celebrity children who are fans of arashi.. remember VSA? xD… it would be dangerous for them xD remember the first episode of the Vip limousine xD but I would really love to see those days again hehe…  *gomen ne I’m not good in explaining*

  • http://www.facebook.com/JEboys4Life Diana Andrews

    congrats to all groups which their variety shows that made it on the list! ^^

    But wasn’t Cartoon KAT-TUN like a late night show? Maybe many people didn’t watch it…

  • Rubyy

    If only NEWS had their own show…. :’(

  • Rubyy

    Lol… I was wondering how many of Arashi’s shows would appear on the list!

  • speedingcars

    I think they only polled people on shows that are currently airing. Otherwise, I’m positive that Arashi no Shukudai-kun would be on this list.

  • speedingcars

    Would’ve liked Janiben to be on this list.

  • speedingcars

    Would’ve liked Janiben to be on this list.

  • http://twitter.com/nwong21 Nancy 黄瑞文

    well that variety show is over already…

  • http://twitter.com/nwong21 Nancy 黄瑞文

    There are many other variety shows that could be listed on this… like Gakkou e Ikou… too bad that show is already over… I guess they only ranked the ones that are still airing? But then JaniBen would be in it too… maybe because it only airs in the Kansai region…

  • Rubyy

    Oh, so was it only currently airing shows??

  • http://twitter.com/iaaraujo Isaias Araujo

    Just an add…

    11. Mission V6

    12

  • http://twitter.com/iaaraujo Isaias Araujo

    It already is… at 12 position… maybe ’cause it’s a new program…

  • http://twitter.com/TheWuppie Aimée Verbunt

    Wow! Arashi rules the list! xd

  • Anonymous

    I agree with Himitsu no Arashi-chan topping the list! I like Arashi ni Shiyagare too. I was sad when they stopped airing Shukudai-kun but, gladly, they replaced it with something just as good!^___^ No wonder Arashi has so many golden time slots, they deserve it!

    Bouken JAPAN is probably one of my favorites as well even though it ranked 9th. I learned so much about Japan watching that program! And K8 boys really know how to interact with other people wherever they go! I think Shiwake eito just ranked higher because people want to see handsome idols getting slapped on the face! hehe (just kidding xD)

    Believe it or not, I have never watched SMAPxSMAP o__o I know they are famous and I actually know all of the members by name, but somehow I never really got into this group as much as other JE groups.

    Cartoon KAT-TUN was funny too, I wish TV stations could give the boys some other variety show. They are good hosts!^__^

    And last complain… I wonder why news is the only group who has never hosted anything. Are they too dispersed? I mean, Ryo in K8, Yamapi promoting by himself, Tegoshi and Masu doing stuff for Tegomass… x__x

  • http://twitter.com/alexza_18 alejandra

    but it´s a poll of shows that are currently airing … besides AnArashi isn´t a show :P is just a corner of D no Arashi  

  • atarashi.michi

    i will forever be depressed at how NEWS never have their own show when even HSJ have their own show.
    shokura <3333333 i miss it~
    it was sooooo good before, but now i dont know any of these jrs anymore so i've given up on it.

    arashi <3 <3
    ive noticed that tokyohive is getting more comments now :D

  • arashi_oneday

    Arashi shows are really the best <3 Even if you aren't a fan, you can enjoy all of their shows <3 For me, Arashi no Shukudai-kun would top that list if it was still airing. But since it isn't, it's Himitsu no Arashi-chan, VS Arashi, and Arashi ni Shiyagare as the top 3 in that order. 

  • Mochi-chan

    obviously arashi. they got like 3 primetime shows and they are funny lool

  • http://twitter.com/GratsyXS G.Gratiela

    ARASHI THE BEST!!!!!!! Yey,plus Himitsu no arashi-chan is my favourite anyway:)))

  • validora

    oh arashi…..they got some of the most amusing shows ever.

  • mayraosorno_88

    i miss cartoon Kat-tun too, i hope they return with another variety show, but congrats to arashi, they are so funny too!!!

  • Anonymous

    no matter how good the programm or the host, ya-ya-yah will always remain in a special spot in my heart…
    concidering the ones currently airing, I would have placed Himitsu no Arashi-chan first as well *there’s nothing that can compete with the miracles created on Mannequin Five!!!!*

  • missstorm

    Arashi has the best shows ever!!! They’re the most amusing and the most funniest people ever! I know funniest isn’t a word, haha.

  • ddalki

    my fav ones, Arashi’s !!! but I misss cartoon kat tun too !

  • Anonymous

    Glad Tetsuwan Dash is on there. Tokio will always be one of my favorites from J.E. Even though it’s not listed, I also liked Cartoon Kat-tun because the Kat-tun members (especially Nakamura, Taguchi and Koki) were hilarious. I wish they would have their own variety again soon.

  • faifantc

    Of course Arashi shows are at the top. I didn’t think the results would be any different.

    I’m a little surprised at SDK, though. I personally love watching that show more than SMAP x SMAP. : )

    (Though if Cartoon KAT-TUN were still airing, I’d say that’s number 1 ;D)

  • iHeartHyde

    VS ARASHI^^
    i’ve seen random episodes of Himitsu no Arashi-chan! & Arashi ni Shiyagare…guess i should watch more of those now.

    But SMAP X SMAP is my ultimate favorite…they have me laughing so hard sometimes that i can hardly breathe xD

  • sapphire_dbsk

    No Cartoon KAT-TUN? I’m disappointed :( .. Hmm well I guess it’s because it stopped airing a while ago.. but I always found it so entertaining. Please give KAT-TUN a new show, Johnny-san! ^^

  • sapphire_dbsk

    Me neither. But then again, I never really gave them a chance lol.. maybe one day I’ll watch one of their shows :P

    1 – 100 :D

  • http://twitter.com/iaaraujo Isaias Araujo

    they co-hosted shonen club a long time ago with kat-tun and 3Tops… then 3 tops left and news and kat-tun where there… then they were replaced by some other guys…. but until 10 programs at least Kei-chan was one of the hosts of Shonen Club together with Nakamaru-kun of KaT-TUN.

  • http://twitter.com/crazycou72 Amaya Mizuno

    Plain and simple. Ya-ya-yah should still be active and should be number 1 on this list. No questions asked.

    Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore and love Hey Say JUMP and I think all the members deserve to be where they are at today, but I don’t think it would have killed Johnny to have debuted Shoon and Taiyo along with Yabu and Hikaru. I mean come on! 12 memebers isn’t the much larger than 10!

    Ya-Ya-yah should be back~ (oh but. Shoon still might be in Taipei. &Taiyo isn’t in JE anymore </3)

  • thursday

    Ya-ya-yah had the best themes and I would really ROLF when I watch it…but with other Japanese variety programs, I’m still trying to get used to it because it’s so different from Korean variety show humor which is what I’m more used to..I hate the producers of yanyan, it’s so boring…teh boys are so lively but they gave them such a boring show…

  • IWasHereOpps

    awww almighty arashi! <3

    three spots goes to arashi cause their the best… me ultimate fan of them…

  • maxiee

    My favourite Arashi tv show…actually my favourite variety show so far has been “Arashi no Shukudai kun”  why did it have to end???? it was so funny and cute…and also it was always interesting when they ate food from different places in every episode

  • http://twitter.com/crazycou72 Amaya Mizuno

    I agree completely, but Ya-Ya-yah should be number one! And Shoon is back in Japan (he and his brother just recently re-opened their ameblo blog too!) and Taiyo recently came back to the entertainment industry too (he started in an episode of URAKARA and is currently performing in a stage play I believe to be called Tumbling 2).
