Japanese trends are heavily driven by anime releases, J-pop and idol group activity, baseball (NPB plus Japanese players in MLB), and Japanese TV programming. Trends here usually appear in Japanese characters and don't translate to global English-language lists, so the Japan list is the cleanest signal of what Japanese audiences are actually discussing right now.
The list above is X's own trends feed for Japan, refreshed roughly every 15 minutes. We don't curate or reorder. X computes trends from the rate of new posts mentioning each topic, normalized for the size of the location, so a trend specific to Japan can rank above one that's larger globally.
For posts aimed at a Japan audience, this list is usually a better starting point than the worldwide trends. Local sports, politics, and TV releases drive the Japan trend list in a way they rarely reach the global feed.
Twitter trends are the topics, hashtags, and phrases being discussed most on X (formerly Twitter) right now. X surfaces a ranked list of trends per location based on the volume and velocity of recent posts. The list rewards conversations that spike quickly, not just topics with sustained chatter, which is why trends turn over within hours rather than days.
