2019 Awards

The 2019 Yahoo Japan Search Awards were announced on December 4, 2019.

The awards ceremony was notable for not announcing two categories, the person category special category award and the product category order category award, as the winners had requested that they not be announced.

The Search Awards

The Yahoo! Japan Search Awards recognize celebrities and businesses for achieving significant search volumes for related keywords.

Each year, Yahoo! Japan releases categories for the awards, showing the social impact of search terms and what people are interested in offline.

The awards don't release search volume numbers, but it's still interesting to see the most successful keywords used in each nomination.

For example, "Monster Hunter: World" was awarded in the gaming category. Japanese searchers looked for complementary gaming information, such as strategy to complete the game.

If you're an anime fan, you'll love the fact that Yahoo Japan Search Awards has a dedicated category for anime. The awards recognize the most searched anime of the year, and in 2020, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba took the top spot.

Fans of the series were thrilled to see their favorite show receive the recognition, and it's no surprise why - the show's blend of action, drama, and fantasy elements has captivated audiences worldwide.
