seeing kanjani8 in there is random since i thought this was about j-rock artists, lol. :P

Well, Johnny's tries really hard to make them look like a "genuine rock band", but we all know it's a boyband with idols that sometimes pick up an instrument ; p

Eito do know how to play instruments themselves you know ~_~

at least in Johnny's , they're 1 of the more geniunely talented groups around imo

Recochoku users pick the artists they want to spend Christmas with

Recochoku recently asked its users which artist they'd want to spend Christmas with, and the results are now out.

For women, Yuusuke was the male artist with the most votes, citing his fun personality and sweet smile as their reasoning behind the selection; it's worth noting, too, that he made it to the top five in June's "artist you'd most like to marry" ranking. In second place was Fukuyama Masaharu, while TAKAHIRO and ATSUSHI of EXILE came in third and fourth respectively. "I want them to sing with those sweet voices just for me," one woman in her twenties explained. The last to place in the ranking was TAKUYA∞ of UVERworld.

Meanwhile, men were also polled on their choice of female artists. Chaku-Uta queen Nishino Kana placed in first, garnering much support for her "angelic" voice and seemingly healing atmosphere. YUI followed in second, while the remaining spots were completely dominated by AKB48 members: Maeda Atsuko in third, Oshima Yuko in fourth and Itano Tomomi in fifth. Their name having become the "buzzword" of 2010, the group has been incredibly busy, and it may go without saying that men would be happy to spend all year with the girls.
