wow I'm surprised

no Akame (FOR ONCE) , no ARASHI on the list but at least the HOT HOT butler Hiro Mizushima gate crashed straight to the top which is :luv2

& :cool at Kuroki Meisa aka Sister Angela (:lmfao)

:thud :thud :thud

:dead2 :dead2 :dead2

:shakehead :shakehead :shakehead

:headache :headache :headache

Where is Keiko Kitagawa in the female celeb list?! She should be there. XD
And Aoi Miyazaki?

celeb is different from singer?
or its the same thing?
if its the same thing, its really shocking that ayu not make it into the list

Ew Gackt :dead2

Koda , Utada & let alone Namie are not on the list so if ayumi's not on there , there's a high chance the other ladies will not be included

Damn u Hiro!! *ayaka is sure lucky :roflmao* He's HOT!! HOT BUTLER!!

Hiroshi Tamaki & Okada Junichi :love

Gackt #2??? :thud

I think a celebrity is someone in the entertainment industry. So actors, singers...
I understand why Ayu isn't listed though. She not exactly the traditional Japanese beauty or a true beauty.

^
I'm not sure if I agree, allthough I think most of the avx ladies have a mor "exotic" beauty, in the sense that they have something striking and special about them rather than being plain traditional beauties. Ayu may not be a traditional beauty, but she has many features that would b considered really beautiful by japanese standards, like her eyes.

I understand what you mean. It's true that avex female artists really stand out in their looks. Maki Goto looks Caucasian! Namie has a truly unique look. Ayu has really delicate features. I like her small nose. Not so much the eyes, they have been looking really weird lately. But looking at the list, most of them are traditional beauties. Black long hair and such.

It's like comparing Zhang Ziyi with Jolin for example. To me, Zhang Ziyi would be the most beautiful. Jolin is no doubt pretty too. But she also has very light brown hair, almost blond with huge eyes and such. Zhang Ziyi in the contrary, is all traditional with long black hair, natural, white skin...

why are the men always ugly in these lists? :no

i love 1 & 6 though :yes

Isn't Koyuki the one that was in Last Samurai, and she does those Panasonic commercials?

I think she's pretty.

cool list :) gackt really is beautiful

congratz hiro.. if Ayaka in the list, they would be the best couple ever

shocking me Nanako got #6

Nanako Matsushima is FIERCE. love her. :D

i agree with the men's list except for like...Gackt.

Japanese have different standards for beauty, I guess. I would NEVER consider Kou Shibasaki beautiful. She freaks me out.

Yay for Gackt!

LOL. She scares me too. She reminds me of a shark.

Glad Kou made it on the list.

I really dislike the current Japanese standards for male beauty. Soft, feminine, delicate, pretty, slender, harmless, non-threatening, cute, and ridiculously bad hair. Yuck! What's the point of being a man, then? Embrace your physiological difference! I'm waiting for this trend to be over already. Damn you Johnny's Jimusho! Damn you yaoi fan girls!

Give me masculine, rough, sexy, brusque, sporty, tough, handsome, charming, sensitive, intelligent, witty, gentlemanly. Hideaki Ito, Masahiro Motoki, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ken Watanabe. Now those are beautiful men!

Thank God Ryuhei Matsuda seems like he's toughened up for Kanikosen. What a waste of beautiful features if he continues to do that delicate-boy-lalala nonsense.

The list of women, though, is very much on the money. The Japanese still know what feminine beauty means, at least. I do think Ayu can be beautiful given the right hairstyle (she's beautiful on the A Complete cover). She should swear off full bangs forever! Everyone - unless you've got super high cheekbones - should swear off full bangs! Namie, I wouldn't call her beautiful. She's hot, but not beautiful. There is something not fully appealing about her face. She is pretty, though. Kumi Koda, in all honesty, is unattractive. Hikki has let herself go. She was beautiful during her Deep River era, but now she just looks sloppy. You don't have to uglify yourself to have people believe you're an "intellectual" and a "real artist", you know!

Oh for the days of Sonny Chiba and Toshiro Mifune! A time when you knew you were in perfectly capable hands!

I... don't think I know who any of the women are.. :laugh

wow...
they are really very beautiful.

Gackt is beautiful??? lolz!

yeah Yukie made it on the 3rd place!! ^_^

Gackt is gorgeous ^^

nice list, at least for a women

this poll is RIGGED! first of all, stephanie (japanese singer) should have been number one on women's poll.

^
i agree

beauty queen

I agree completely. I don't like the whole feminine-looking guys. Like most JE guys. Ew.

That's why I prefer Korean male actors. At least they are manly. Oh yeah, and at least they have a man's body. Japanese guys are so skinny and fragile-looking. LOL.

i agree !
Especially Aoi Miyazaki. she's so beautiful!!

But these are of course mainly women that are going to vote for this, not men and the softer look is what women are often attracted to. However, that said, there are a few on the list that I would consider "manly." Even some of the Johnny's. It's not just women that like Takuya Kimura, but men too - he and Fukuyama Masaharu both have a man's man type of image going on.

That's only because of some of her roles. She is great at playing a psycho. :) Looks wise though, she is a very classic type of Japanese beauty.

Takuya Kimura's hot that I have to admit

too bad he's already married with kids but damn he look so fine for a 36 year old :thud

Yeah, I'm actually re-watching one of his dramas (Sora Kara Furu Ichioku Hoshi, highly recommended if you haven't seen it). And damn he is fine. He's not hot in a typical way though, he has a more unique hotness to him.

I can totally understand why Japanese women to this day hate Kudo Shizuka for taking him off the market. :)

hyde is really beautiful~~ still rmb the Vivid Colors Music station performance..he looks so pretty in it! so rare that a guy is able to be so pretty..haha.

I don't know ANY of the female celebrities...

But congrats to Gackt, Hiro, Hiroki and Koichi! ^____________^ they totally deserve to be on this list.

it's so unfair if it were based on traditional beauty..
the men rank arnt traditional look just like hyde n gackt..
n bout JE i dunt like almost all their pinky boy except kimu-taku..
he's hot..
but when it goes to female it should have been traditional..

Oh, I was just ranting, of course. Still, it's a trend that I to this day cannot fathom. Do women actually find these kinds of soft men sexually attractive? Is it because they are so non-threatening?

Then again, I was head over heels into Gackt at some point in my life. That phase was quickly dispensed with, however. If I remember, I was really young when that happened. Maybe it's a matter of growing up?

I agree about Takuya Kimura and Masaharu Fukuyama. Very good choice of men.

Yeah, thank God for Korean and Chinese male actors. A lot of manly men among them.

^ haha, that is very interesting. :)

^Saw a similar study on Discovery Channel some time ago, but the difference was that when women were ovulating, they were more attracted to men with masculine features, but when they weren't ovulating, they were more attracted to men with feminine features.

At least the body still knows what's good for the baby! :P It's just natural: survival of the fittest.

Sorry, but Gackt is gorgeous. :)
I have to disagree, Gackt is pretty much Japanese traditional beauty. The Japanese (even Koreans and Chinese) usually value "feminine" beauty in males. The poll is asking who is the most beautiful. Not who is the sexiest. Which is why feminine men are on the list, because they're beautiful. XD

i sooooooooo agree with you. those Japanese so-called "hotties" look so... boyish and look like they use more face products than me. they turn me OFF. i prefer Ken Watanabe. aaah omg, he's so charming. and Fujiki Naohito!!!! OMG what i'd do to kiss him. his lips always seem to need some action.

as for women... Japanese have an odd standard for what's beautiful. narrow eyes are considered feminine and beautiful as well as a long oval face as i can see.
