Tohoshinki and AKB48 Had a Big Jump in This One Year 

If we have to talk about groups that have had a big jump in 2009, they are no one other than Tohoshinki and AKB48. Both groups only had one of their singles to rank on the Yearly Top 50 Singles in 2008, but this year, Tohoshinki enters the chart with three singles - "Stand by U" which becomes their highest rank on this chart, grabbing the 21st place, "Share The World/We Are!" (30th place), Bolero/Kiss The Baby Sky/Wasurenaide (49th place). Moreover, their special unit JEJUNG&YUCHUN (from Tohoshinki)'s single "COLORS～Melody and Harmony～/Shelter" also ranks at 32nd place on the chart. Moreover, the unit's single even beats the other 3 singles to create a new record for first sale number. To be achieve things such as to become a promotion face of a Japanese CM, they have worked really hard from being a Korean artist to the point where they are being recognized in Japan, and their hard works have been paid off.
