Dragon Quest IX topped Japan’s list of fastest rising search terms according to Google’s yearly zeitgeist report. It beat out politician Mieko Tanaka who had a tabloid-ish topic and bing, which was the number three term. Dragon Quest IX was also the top ranked mobile search. Japan loves Dragon Quest, no surprise there right?
