25. Suwabe Junichi - 59,212 followers

*Notes

1. Notice that the top 5 ranking didn't change.

2. The increase of number followers is really rapid. They've reached 300,000+ JUST AWESOME.

3. Namikawa Daisuke just made his Twitter account (If I am not mistaken) but seeing him garner a lot of followers within a short period of time is just superb.

4. I think the reason why Suwabe Junichi is only at the number 25th spot is because he is overly active in his blog.. I don't think his fans will purely rely on his Twitter account, but come to think of it, Aya Hirano is also active in her blog... wonder why?

5. I wonder if Mizuki Nana, Fukuyama Jun, and Ono Daisuke have their Twitter accounts, will they be able to pass through the top 5 here?
