Hatsune Miku, Idol M@ster and Touhou (which I intend to introduce here soon...) is said to be the 3 most popular contents in Nico Nico Douga.
However, someone questioned in an anonymous web diary whether it is really true... as it seemed to him/her that Touhou and Miku are attracting users but Imas was not.
A blogger called myrmecoleon went on to investigate the actual data to check this out.
This is his post, where he created several charts to investigate which "tags" were really popular based on how many times the videos with those tags were viewed. He says if you delete the category tags (like music, sports etc) the 3 most popular tags are indeed Touhou, Miku and IdolM@ster.
Following is the translation of one of the charts that myrmecoleon created... and this one includes some of the categories. I think this gives you a general idea of what type of videos are actually popular in Nico Nico Douga, as the videos that I am introducinig is biased by "my taste" :P
