KANAKO has came back the top spot.

The annual 'Talent Power Ranking' was published in the July issue of entertainment information magazine Nikkei Entertainment, which went on sale yesterday.

This is calculated from the survey indexes of 'recognition (knowing faces and names)' and 'interest (wanting to see, listen, etc.)' of talent conducted by a research company.

The survey was conducted on 1280 groups and the aggregate figures are available as of February this year.

According to the results, KANAKO came out on top in the female idol category.

KANAKO was in the top position the year before last and has returned to the top spot.

The other members were also concentrated in the top positions: AYAKA was in third place, RENI in seventh and SHIORI in eighth.

In second place between KANAKO and AYAKA is YUKI Kashiwagi (AKB48), who was invited to the AYAKARNIVAL today.
