Quite odd. There may have been a lot of pages with it back in 2007. Nearly 1/3 of the count was for 唸声中国.

I think something is distorting the n-grams for 唸声. The top terms look odd. It does get 36 hits in Aozora, though.

Surprised to see 唸声 with so many counts. Judging by a google search, it seems to have this reading.
