Ayu ranked 2! :D How did she rank so high? She rarely wears them...hmm, maybe because of the Panasonic Jewel CM.

Go Ayumi! That Panasonic CM with the kimono wasn't painful to the eye or anything. :P

... Number 2? More like 6. But whatever. >__>

She wears kimono in other than the Panasonic CMs..?

That CM was so bad thou.. Atleast it isnt an "eye" competition

Ayu in Kimono? Only in Panasonic CM >__<

Koda Kumi's recent photoshoot in kimono's was wonderful.
Shena looks great in one too.

Though, it is quite rare to see Ayu in one o_______________o

congrats to Ayu^^ but yay for Hitomi!!! She looked gorgeous in haru machibito :D

I thought Kuu would be first o_o She has her own kimono site to order. So damn high prices >_<
Anyway go Ayu!! ^^ Are there pics of her kimono? I know for JEWEL and that pink yukata in magazine

Haha, Ayu do seldom wear, her songs seldom allow her to wear one. I think she wears customised kimonos, not the traditional type (super-short ones) during performance.

Anyways that makes my day =)

That is a good ranking - she's one of the best dressed women in Japan!

That's pretty sweet! I can't believe Ringo beat em all, that's awesome too! :D Aw, that's so cool xD.

I love Ayu's kimono performance when she sang Moments during MTV super live 2004. That has to be one of the best kimono ever.

Ayu does look beautifull in a Kimono - the panasonic CM - I am... Arena Tour 2002 - Ayu-mi-x 4 + Selection Acoustic Orchestra Version cover
I'm glad too see Mika there she looks really pretty when wearing the black kimono to the MTV Asia Awards
Hitomi looks totally gorgeous in kimonos - in the Viola PV and the Haru Machibito PV
Ku also looks stunning in kimonos - I would love to buy one of her kimonos and Ai Otsuka also looked really nice in one of her photobooks wearing a kimono

YAY! Ayu! even though she should be no. 1

the mtv superdrive 2004 kimono was amazing~ then the photoshoot in the summer...for a magazine, the pink one? haha i forget which mag it was..but that was really nice too~

I wonder if it was just who people thought looked good in kimono..?

They wouldn't necessarily would have had to wear it recently, but at some point in their career. :O

She was in a kimono in of her remix album covers, too.

Anyway, CM is much more acessible (and has much more impact) to japanese people than magazine shoots/album or single covers, so she probably got #2 because of the Panasonic ad.

Wow yay!! She rarely wears them tho, but still, she deserve it :D

she's worth it !!!
good job panasonic !
