On the December 13th episode of TBS CDTV (Count Down TV), the program put a ranking for 2009's Top 10 Breakthrough Artists in Japan and two Korean groups were on the list. Coming in at 5th place was Big Bang, and coming in at the top spot was none other than TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki. Congratulations to both groups! They've both worked hard in Japan this year and the hard work is paying off. Thanks to mmx for the tip. Remember to visit both the Big Bang VIP and ONETVXQ Forums. In other news, BoA, who recently recently her new single White Wishes reached #5 on the Oricon Charts. Congratulations to BoA as well. cr: Gekkouno9
