Top Social Media Platforms in Katakana Character

Top Social Media Platforms in Katakana Character (カタカナ)

Let’s talk about social media. I’ve been searching what are the most popular Social Media Platforms right now. Everyone knows that Facebook (now Meta) is still ranked as the number 1 social media with over 2.797 billion users. According to semrush.com, YouTube is the next most popular social media platform. But I will not be talking about who has many active users every month or who is the most popular in today's blog. 

Today's lesson is about the Katakana sound equivalent of each social media platform. According to statista.com, in the 3rd quarter of 2021, LINE is the most used social media platform in Japan with 79.6%, followed by Twitter (58.2%) and Instagram (47.7%). Most people I know in Japan use LINE as their means of communication. No wonder it is the most used social media in Japan. LINE is an application for communication, much like Facebook messengers or snapchat. Though, LINE has a variety of platforms like digital wallet, games, news and video on demand. 

 

Now, let’s translate these social media platforms into their Katakana sound. Firstly, I will translate the social media that I have and use.
