Google Maps and Johnny’s

Okay, so this is a weird post that  I felt like sharing. Frankly, I rarely used Google Maps, but when I do, I used it to search places. Places, not names, unless it’s a street or building named after a person. So, what would happen if you search someone from Johnny’s using Google Maps? Well, if you think that you will be lead to their residence, well, think again.

• If you search KAT-TUN, you will be directed to Tokyo Dome. If you search for the members from Kamenashi Kazuya, Junno Taguchi, and Ueda Tatsuya, nothing will come out. However, if you search Nakamaru Yuichi, you will be directed to Waseda University. I think this makes sense because Nakamaru graduated from Waseda University.

• Surprisingly, Arashi and SMAP are not registered. However, if you search KinKi Kids, you will also be directed to Tokyo Dome as well as Imperial Theater. As for other groups like Kanjani8, Kis-My-Ft2, Johnny’s WEST, Hey!Say!JUMP…nothing will appear as well.

• For Sexy Zone, you will directed to “Fuji-Q Highland“, an amusement park. Well, Sexy Zone did a program at the said place.

• Individually, searching for Sakurai Sho will lead you to Keio University and  Nakajima Kento to Meiji Gakuin University.

All in all, stick to searching proper places the next time you use Google Maps.
