Shall we search for what's on our minds?

The other day, the Yahoo! Search Awards were announced.
The top search term was "Shohei Ohtani."
That makes sense.

The Yahoo! Search Awards are based on search rankings for people and titles,
so the approach is different from the New Words and Buzzwords Awards, but unlike those decided by judges' discussions, it's easy to understand because it's determined purely by the number of searches.

However, I took a look at the category rankings, which were announced up to 5th place, and there were many things I didn't know.
I might not be keeping up with the new era.

Among them, the Drama category was the one where I knew all the top 5.
1. Tora ni Tsubasa
2. Hikaru Kimi e
3. Umi no Hajimari
4. Futekisetsu ni mo Hodo ga Aru!
5. Black Pean Season 2

No matter what people say, I find myself interested in NHK's morning dramas and taiga dramas.
The 3rd place drama stars an idol, so it's understandable that it's being searched.
The New Words and Buzzwords Award winner "Futekisetsu ni mo Hodo ga Aru!" (or "Futehodo") is in 4th place.
The 5th place is a drama continuing from Season 1, and people search for it because they are curious about how the story unfolds.

Perhaps what makes a drama rank high in searches isn't just the content, but whether there's something about it that piques people's curiosity.

If that's the case, the fact that I don't know the people or works at the top of the Search Awards might mean I don't really pay attention to what's trending in society.

It bothers me when young people say things like, "You don't know that?" but
in this modern age overflowing with information, it's impossible to know everything, so I think I'll try to have the "courage not to care" about things I don't know.

After all, in this day and age, if there's something you don't understand, you can just search for it.
