Comparing most visited sites in Japan vs Brazil

What can we understand from the most accessed sites in Japan and Brazil? One of the most shocking things was to see in the Brazilian list an ADS site (ads) for adult sites (+18). This makes us understand that many Brazilians try to make money with adult sites in the country and in the world.

I was also impressed with the growth of the digital and physical products website monentizze.com.br, which surpasses access to the famous hotmart. Apparently yahoo.co.jp manages to be more popular than youtube in Japan. The Google video site also apparently manages to outpace the hits of the famous Japanese site nico nico.

Netflix is relatively new in Japan that it doesn't even appear in the ranking of the 49 most visited sites in the country. In Brazil we had several advertising or invisible sites on the list, which conveys the idea that many try to profit from ads in a heavy and violent way, using alternatives other than Google Adsense or ADX.

I wanted to put the amount of views from each country, but unfortunately the website I used as a source does not provide this data. We believe that the average number of visits for the top websites on the list is above 50 million monthly. I hope you enjoyed the article, if you did, share and leave your comments.

See What Japan Google Searches

At the end of 2017, Google revealed a list of the most searched terms on its search platform. In Brazil, the most searched term was Big Brother Brasil, showing the level of culture. You will see that the Japanese are not so different from Brazilians and are not as interested in knowledge as some might imagine.

Let's start by showing the list of the 10 most searched terms in Japan and also in Brazil to make a comparison.

Japan

  1. Kobayashi Mao
  2. North Korea
  3. Dragon Quest 11
  4. Typhoon
  5. WBC
  6. Kazuyo Matsui
  7. Namie Amuro
  8. Fumika Shimizu
  9. Iphone 8
  10. Chiemi Blouson

Brazil

  1. Big Brother Brazil
  2. Brasileirão table
  3. Enem
  4. Marcelo Rezende
  5. The Call
  6. FGTS
  7. Sisu
  8. Hurricane Irma
  9. Slowly
  10. The Farm

This first ranking is about the words that had the most increase and consequently were the most searched in the world. Of course, there are several other words and terms that had more searches, but should not be selected for the ranking.

The most accessed websites in Japan and Brazil

In the Japanese ranking we find several outstanding people, let's talk a little about them below. First we should mention the concern about North Korea and the Japanese summer typhoons. The Iphone 8 is another common and affordable thing for the Japanese, I feel sorry for everyone who lives in Brazil, which makes the device a status thing.

It was impressive to see the role-playing game Dragon Quest 11 as the 3rd most searched on Google. Perhaps its release on the Nintendo switch and other portable platforms has made the demand become great. The installed base of the 3DS plus the success of the switch and even the dear PS4 should cover a large part of Japanese netizens.

In fifth place we have the WBC which stands for World Boxing Council or conselho nacional de boxe. I didn't imagine that the Japanese liked boxing so much.

Japanese from Google searches 2017

Now let's talk about the people who appeared in Japanese google searches in 2017.

Kobayashi Mao - A famous Japanese news presenter who was also an actress. Unfortunately, she passed away this year on June 22, 2017, at the age of 34, from breast cancer. This must be the main reason for the high searches on Google.

Kazuyo Matsui - Japanese actress, investor, businesswoman, essayist, university professor, and life coach. The high search for this name on Google was because the actress started talking about an affair her husband was having after more than 17 years of marriage. A lot was said, including that the man was taking prohibited Viagra.

Namie Amuro - A popular Japanese pop singer who announced her retirement for September 16, 2018.

Fumika Shimizu - Actress, idol, and model. In February 2017, she announced her retirement to join a religion called Happy Science.

Chiemi Blouson - A Japanese comedian and actress who took part in various programs in 2017.
