Every year as various artists make their entry onto the scene, the activities of many female artists catch our eye. Now, while wondering who of all these popular artists could possibly be "this year's most attention-grabbing female artists" according to women in their twenties, we decisively listened to their thoughts. A number of artists have been in the spotlight this year as well, but as for the ladies, the ones getting the most notice lately are these ten!

01. JUJU (14.6%): "When you hear her beautiful voice, it puts you in a trance!"
02. Superfly (14.3%): "I've fallen in love with her overwhelming singing skill!"
03. Kimura Kaela (12.5%): "She's cool in her own individual way!"
03. Perfume (12.5%): "Their cute songs and dances are getting attention!"
05. ICONIQ (10.6%): "She gets a ton of work as a CM girl, too!"
06. Nishino Kana (9.0%): "Both her songs and her looks are cute!"
07. Kato Miliyah (8.7%): "She's even getting noticed in the fashion world!"
08. AKB48 (8.4%): "They're really popular even on variety shows!"
09. Chatmonchy (2.8%): "Their girlish songs make my chest tighten!"
10. Love (0.9%): "These EXILE proteges are defeinitely expected to break out!"

Number one was JUJU at 14.6%! The theme song she performed for the movie Yomei Ikketsu no Hanayome, "Ashita ga Kuru Nara," is still fresh in the public's memory as a big hit. As well, her cover of My Little Lover's famous song "Hello, Again ~Mukashi Kara Aru Basho~" (currently airing as a digital camera CM song) has also made her voice a topic of interest. Once you've heard her transparent singing voice, it's impossible to forget.

By a narrow margin, number two was Superfly at 14.3%! From her small body comes soulful vocals, and with her cool-sounding songs, she continues to gain many fans. With one of her songs having recently become the theme to a soccer program, her voice is easily heard by chance these days.

Number three was a tie with Kimura Kaela and Perfume both standing at 12.5%. Kimura Kaela has especially become a hot topic with the news of her plans to wed. We truly wish her the best as she becomes a mama!

Looking at this ranking, we've gathered music artists with charming voices and characteristics. No matter what activities these women may pursue from here, let's give them all the help we can as we wait in anticipation!
