The awesomest people!
After randomly browsing through LJ I saw some people doing an entry similar to this, so I wanted to try too. It's really hard to put people in an order, so I have to say the order is varying quite a lot between some of them. But here goes.
t o p 10: f e m a l e
10.
Who? Nana Eikura
Profession: Actress (Proposal Daisakusen, Dance drill), Model
Why? Nana is so cute! I loved her in ProDai and became a fan of hers. She's such a good actress and very pretty. She seems to be very happy and cheerful girl. I want to see more of her work! Plus she's done modeling and she's great.
09.
Who? Mao Inoue
Profession: Actress (Hana yori dango)
Why? Unfortunately I've only seen Mao-chan in Hana yori dango, but I just loved her as Makino. I think she's a great actress, soo pretty and though I don't know much about her personality, she seems to be such a sweet girl.
08.
Who? Erika Toda
Profession: Actress (Death note, Nobuta wo produce, Liar game)
Why? I first saw Erika as Misamisa in Death note and I loved her. Later I've seen her in many dramas (Nobuta, HYD, Liar game) and I think she's a great actress and though I don't know much about her real personality, there's something so sweet about her. She's one of my favourite actresses.
07.
Who? Utada Hikaru
Profession: Singer
Why? Hikki is so young but has achieved so much already. She really deserves all the praise she has got. I love her music and her voice is very unique, and I also love her personality.
06.
Who? Chihiro Onitsuka
Profession: Singer
Why? Her music is _beautiful_. She has on of the best female voices I've ever heard and it even gives me chills. And yes, some songs have made me cry because they're so beautiful, like Watashi to warutsu wo. She's very very talented and I really respect her.
05.
Who? Ai Otsuka
Profession: Singer
Why? Everything about Ai is cute: her voice, her looks, her music, her videos and her personality. She's very energetic and happy and she never fails to make me smile. But also in contrast, she has very beautiful and touching songs, like Cherish and Planetarium.
04.
Who? Koda Kumi
Profession: Singer
Why? I have a love-dislike relationship with Kuu. I dislike her slutty style (like in JUICY PV) but actually that's all. I adore her cute look (like WIND PV) and also the sexy-but-non-slutty style (like FREAKY PV). She really has great songs and she's a good singer and performer. She has a lovely personality: always happy, smiling and enthusiastic and seems to really love what she does. She also doesn't drink or smoke, which I think is great.
03.
Who? Namie Amuro
Profession: Singer
Why? Namie was one of the first Japanese artists I listened to. Her songs are great, I especially love the hip-pop tunes like she calls them. (Queen of hip-pop!) She's an amazing performer and show girl. She is also a sweet person and has a very good heart.
02.
Who? OLIVIA
Profession: Singer
Why? This girl is simply amazing. Her voice is beautiful and her music is very unique. Her lyrics are amazing beyond words, very creative and beautiful. Her fashion style is great also. She also seems to be a very sweet person. She's just becoming better and better all the time and her new releases always impress me.
01.
Who? Ayumi Hamasaki
Profession: Singer
Why? Ayu is the one that started my Japan fandom in the year 2003. That's when she became my favourite singer and she still is. I'd call her my idol. Her music is amazing from lyrics to melodies and I looove her voice. Her music videos are like little masterpieces. I adore her personality and also style (in music videos and such) and fashion. She's very hard-working and smart, and really cares about her fans and does everything for them, which is great. She just keeps impressing me time after time and that's what I really love about her.
t o p 1 0: m a l e
Remember, the list is not based on just looks. I've talked about it earlier that though it may not seem like it (because there's so many), I'm quite picky on who I fangirl. Of course they're good-looking, but that's not enough, for me there has to be a great personality and a good person behind it. Plus all of these are very talented.
10.
Who? Kanata Hongo
Profession: Actor (Nana 2, The Prince of Tennis etc.)
Why? I remember when I saw 13-year-old Kanata in Moon child. I remember saying to my friend that I soo want to see him when he's older 8D And a while later I found out he's the same person who plays Shin in NANA 2. Yes, the same Shin I was drooling over at the trailer xD So that's how it started. He's very young (a year younger than me) but I think he's a great actor. This boy really CAN act. He's already done many roles and each are different. I don't know much about his personality yet, but he seems veeery sweet!
09.
Who? hyde
Profession: Musician (L'Arc~en~Ciel, solo)
Why? Sigh, hyde is soooo amazing. He has one of the best voices I've ever heard, he does great music, he's very charismatic and an awesome performer. Really a multitalented person. (And seriously, give this guy ANY instrument - he will play it!) I also love his personality, he's funny and dorky, but also very sweet and really cares about other people and the fans. And I swear he doesn't age at all. Or if he does, just backwords.
08.
Who? tetsu
Profession: Musician (L'Arc~en~Ciel, solo)
Why? When I got to know L'Arc~en~Ciel, it didn't take a long time before tetsu became my favourite member. He's just an amazing musician: writes great songs, is an awesome bassist and can sing, too! He's so talented. After reading his interviews and tetsugaku-book, I found out he's very smart too and a good person. And of course I like the fact that he doesn't smoke. He's a great performer and also very funny and dorky with his bananas and all other stuff xD Like hyde, tetsu stopped agening in his twenties.
07.
Who? Tomohisa Yamashita
Profession: Singer (NewS) / Actor ( Kurosagi, Nobuta wo produce )
Why? I got to know YamaPi when watching my first j-drama, Stand up!! And Ken-Ken became my favourite character :D At that time I also listened to maybe one or two NewS songs and actually thought that he isn't a good singer and the band is boring. Well, later I found out I had seriously mistaken. After watching Nobuta wo produce, I was in love with the crazy Akira, and of course, I fell in love with Yamapi. I think he's seriously an amazing actor. And about the singing, well he might not be the best singer in the band but I think he's improven a lot (I listened to some older songs back then) and he really impressed me when I heard him. He's really good. And he's propably the best peformer of the group. Not to talk about how I adore his personality!
06.
Who? Kazuya Kamenashi
Profession: Singer (KAT-TUN) / Actor ( Nobuta wo produce, Gokusen 2)
Why? I first saw Kame in Nobuta wo produce and had already decided that I don't like him ( I really don't know why I was so against JE xD Maybe I sensed it that they would eat my soul. ) but I couldn't help it, Kame is just too irresistible :D He's a great actor, and a musician and an amazing performer! I'm just in love with his singing voice, there's something in it that just makes me go wow. It isn't very ordinary either, which is a great thing. I didn't know about his personality much, but after watching the video of him imitating a dead cockroach ( lol :D ) that was it, I was in love! He really has a great personality, and though he claims to be boring, I disagree :D
05.
Who? Jun Matsumoto
Profession: Singer (Arashi) / Actor (Hana yori dango, Gokusen etc.)
Why? I first saw Matsujun in Gokusen, and all the time they showed him, I was like this: *____* Before him, I had a principle that I'm not going to like JE boys (I don't know why?) but I couldn't help it, and so I was Jun-baited to listen to Arashi :D I've heard many people say that Jun can't sing. Actually, I think he can. Sometimes I don't like his voice (Sakura sake, anyone?) but when it's not that high-pitched, I find his voice veeery good. Just listen to La familia, it's beeautiful! He's also a great dancer and a performer, he sure has charisma. And a great personality, too. And Jun's smile is like heavenly D: Everytime I see his smile, it makes me smile. But I love him more as an actor, than a singer. He's very dedicated to acting and he's really talented! He just pwns in Hana yori dango, seriously.
04.
Who? Jin Akanishi
Profession: Singer (KAT-TUN) / Actor (Gokusen 2)
Why? Even before I knew anything about him, I had to admit that this boy is just gorgeous. One of the best-looking boys ever in my opinion. But when I got to know him, I found out he's more than just a pretty face. He's VERY talented. I love his voice, he's an awesome performer and a great actor. He also writes and composes songs himself which I think is great. And not to talk about his personality: he's sweet, funny and dorky (CAR SHRIMP!), though he has a little "bad boy"-image. He's a little bit of everything.
03.
Who? Takahisa Masuda
Profession: Singer (NEWS) / Actor (Gachi baka, etc.)
Why? How can you NOT love Massu? He's this happy, funny, and cheerful boy with his super cute smile. And in the top of that, he's an awesome singer and an amazing dancer and performer + he can act. When I first got to know NEWS I didn't specially like Massu, but when I got to know him, I just couldn't help it: I was in love XD Actually it was the drama Gachi baka that really helped in the progress :D
02.
Who? Bill Kaulitz
Profession: Singer (Tokio hotel)
Why? Wait, there's actually someone non-Asian here? Yeah! I have to say that the reason I first got interested in Tokio hotel, was because Bill is so damn cute. But after listening to their songs, I was addicted. They make frickin' amazing music O__O ! I love Bill's voice and he's a good performer and I love his style. When I had only seen him in pictures, looking all cool and serious, I actually thought he's a bad boy or something. And then I got to know him and realized that he's like one of the most adorable and sweetest boys ever and that amazing smile of his never fails to brighten a day.
01.
Who? Yuya Tegoshi
Profession: Singer (NewS) / Actor ( My boss my hero, Gachi baka etc. )
Why? I first got to know Tego when watching My boss my hero. At first I didn't actually think he's that special, but it took like two episodes and I was already all fangirly when they showed him! Still at that time I didn't think he would pass tetsu, or actually anyone would pass tetsu in a while. But Tego did. I think he's a good actor, and he really convinced me when I watched Gachi baka and Shissou. And seriously, this boy is maybe the best singer of the whole Johnny's Entertainment. He's amazing. And I think he's not only the cutest thing on this planet, he's also like the sweetest boy ever. I just love everything about him.
