Which male and female celebrity possesses the ideal face?

Last month, Oricon released their rankings of the “ideal faces chosen by men/women“, in which actor and singer Fukuyama Masaharu, as well as actress and model Kitagawa Keiko, came in first with most of the votes.

However, Oricon surveys usually only target a small representative crowd of 1,000 people or less. That’s why NTT’s big Internet portal “goo” decided to ask their own users about their choices for the ideal faces among Japanese male and female celebrities. The portal has once again made use of their popular mobile polling service to gather the votes.

10 – 3,132 votes – Tamaki Hiroshi

i agree with mukai osamu, lol. he's beautiful! but #3 for sho is great, too! :heart

I was reading some random tweets that my friend Nat was tweeting to her friend

she said that for Aiba's upcoming Bartender drama , he plays a Bartender that hails from France ? D:

o_o , I'm not very sure how 100% true this's but omg , the thought of Aiba speaking French meets Engrish in the drama will probably crack me up so bad :p

LOL i think his character went to europe, and is coming back to japan. i'm not sure, i really can't remember! :laugh but what would you call the engrish equivalent of french? flench? :roflmao i wanna hear aiba speaking a bad mix of english and french now!! :laugh

speaking of bartender, i read that there's gonna be a preview of the theme song sometime soon. then we'll know if it's arashi singing for the drama!

lmao I have no idea xD but I think speaking in French is a lot more tougher than English

but given Aiba's Engrish nature , wouldn't be surprised if his French's worst if not on par with his Engrish skills :p

oh is that so ? :O great , at least the title of the Bartender theme song will be revealed soon

multi-lemonia lists a new single to be released on February 23rd. It will be titled Lotus :)

LOL @ Lotus as a song title o_o'''' , Aurelie

I can imagine many bad jokes will follow real soon -_-'''

did multi-lemonia mention anything on whether will Lotus have any promo tie in to go along with things , Aurelie ?

^ Nope, multi-lemonia never mentions anything about tie-ins :no

"Lotus" is a strange title for an Arashi-song, but maybe it's the name of a cocktail or something, then it would fit the theme of the movie at least! :D

So I guess 1 of Lisa's WISH for ARASHI to release a new single has finally come true after all :p

Lotus will be the Bartender theme song 8D

And here is the first preview for "Lotus" (song and PV)...and I like it! I like it VERY much!!!! :love
The PV reminds me a bit of "truth" and "Monster", because of the choreography and they are wearing suits! :heart

Even when the song doesn't sound like something you would hear in a bar! I was expecting a jazzy kind of song!
But it's definitely an improvement from "Dear snow" and "Hatenai sora"! :D

damn , looks like I really under-estimate the song . The title's strange but holy , the PV preview + song is very promising if not dark

what's missing super big time is SAKURAP , it has been way too long since a single has Sakurap in it & it has been 2 years already for heaven's sake D:

^ Ah yes, I LOVE dark-Arashi! :D

Sakurap would have been nice, but I think it would have kinda "destroyed" the feeling of the song...at least in my eyes.

Sounds good. I like the choreography but the PV looks like all the other dancing with cool background PVs they have lol :laugh But I'm glad there is dancing in it!
And I wish there was Sakurap as well!

^ Well~~ Arashi are not the "kings of PVs with storyline"! ;)
But I like their dancing, so I think I'll be happy with the PV and after a long while I like one of their songs again!

i like the preview... Gosh I really like their recent song genre.

Ooh... I can't wait for it! Too bad it's no ARASHI VS. AKB48 (they're releasing a week earlier)...

But the theme song is for a drama which Sho Sakurai is NOT acting...
