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

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...

[brand new love]

why are the men always ugly in these lists?

i love 1 & 6 though

[emi♡]

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

I think she's pretty.

[love in music]

[TITANIC]

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

shocking me Nanako got #6

[ll moments ll]

Nanako Matsushima is FIERCE. love her.

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

[Yumsushi]

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

[Ame.P]

Yay for Gackt!

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

[Fair Wind]

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!
