That last one is basically "Coolest live female performer"

Annabelle 25th October 2005 08:53 PM

I'm happy for each artist listed! These kind of polls are very interesting. BoA's #1 in "Promotional video woman artist" surprises me A LOT. I don't even like her PVs. Kumi totally owns the "Sexy woman artist of charm" poll :P I'm not surprised hitomi is 2nd, she was considered the sex-symbol of Japan for many years. I'm glad that Ai-chin is ranked well in almost each poll :)

Raleigh 25th October 2005 08:53 PM

Thanks. I'll edit it then ^^

ohsixthirty 25th October 2005 08:58 PM

she's number two for artist with demonic charm, tied with kumi? haha, thats odd.

thanks for the info! :D

Raleigh 25th October 2005 08:59 PM

With regards to BoA. I wasn't so surprised since she always manages to look excellent in any promotional video. It's as if the camera loves her XD

And she didn't do bad in these rankings. She managed to rank in 6 out of 12 rankings..excluding the overall ranking. Also correct me if I am wrong but I do think she has appeared most in the rankings along with Mika.

Cyria 25th October 2005 09:28 PM

Fashion sense woman artist
1 rank: Ayumi Hamasaki (348)
2 rank: Yasumuro Nami Megumi (108)

She won this one clearly. But it was pretty interesting to see all the rankings.

~ayu-cake~ 25th October 2005 09:45 PM

thanks for the info ^___^ interesting to see the results ^___^

nice to see ayu still hitting high in the polls ^____^

FuNsTyLe 25th October 2005 09:51 PM

Wtf? Why is there a category called "
The woman artist whose atmosphere of the adult who settles is attractive"
Those crazy japanese...:P hehe!

mui-gei-tal 25th October 2005 09:52 PM

great info~
ayu is totally the coolest performer =)
thanks for posting!

Larisa-chan 25th October 2005 10:36 PM

Very interesting to see how everyone ranks! Nice to see Ayu in 3rd place overall, as well as ranking high in other places~

That's a mistranslation, it should be "A woman whose charm has the air of a calm adult" (something like that, it's difficult to get into English)

If anyone else has any questions on how the titles should be translated, I'll answer them.

Raleigh 25th October 2005 10:41 PM

Hmm.. how about this one, please.."The puzzle め it is the place where the woman artist of charm".

A woman with enigmatic charm.

Surreal 25th October 2005 11:19 PM

Erm I don't get the BoA part for PVs...her PVs are boring and uncreative. Are Japanese that into dancing videos?

elepop 25th October 2005 11:32 PM

I'm just happy she's not in the "cute charm" category.

ph33r 25th October 2005 11:35 PM

Some of these categories are so weird o_O

Calico 26th October 2005 01:43 AM

Ai is the highest for demonic charm? I hope they mean "devilish"...but still...Ai!

She's the last person I would think of, heh.

And look at that! Hitoto Yo is on there! I'm listening to her right now...

And congrats to Ayu, and all of my other favorite artists. You girls rock. :yes

JinHamasaki 26th October 2005 02:07 AM

I find it weird that many of the aritsts in the overall don't place anywhere in the specific rankings O_o.

bernardation 26th October 2005 03:17 AM

Echiko 26th October 2005 04:15 AM

O_____O
Ai Otsuka and Ayu are "demonic"? I know they're charming but.. What exactly do they mean by demonic charm? Really sexy? Ai isnt. At all.

kournikova 26th October 2005 01:13 PM

wow... im so surprised.. it is supposed to be that ayu is no.1 :D but she is no.1 in everybody's heart :P

No I think they mean naughty in the sense of mischievous?

Yeah, it's like whose a little devilish. Uh, I guess there's an innate meaning if you can read the characters, lol, so it's easier to understand if you're Chinese or Japanese.

Ayane 28th October 2005 05:26 PM

Congrats to Ayu!!! I still wonder why BoA got the top rank for promotional videos....?

Catzi 29th October 2005 02:39 AM

Demonic charm? O.O

I think it's how an artist looks on promotional videos. And I do think BoA looks at her best on them since the "camera loves her" so it's kinda not that surprising.

lovia 1st November 2005 11:19 PM

life style women??? o__O ooo.... weird rankings but nevertheless interesting hahahah thanx!

Kaiouforever 8th November 2005 01:19 AM

I don't get it, BoA looks like a man or a really ugly woman in most of her videos. (Girls on top? What were they thinking?) Although she does have some really good ones. I'm glad Ayu did so well, it just proves she's still popular in Japan!

BoA looks ugly? Maaan that's really harsh and offensive. I think BoA looks gorgeous. Girls on Top was themed as tomboyish and girl power style so naturally she had to look less feminine and more tough.

starr5245 8th November 2005 04:49 AM

I see that Otsuka Ai is gaining popularity...and also, Ayu is still on the charts *happy*

well i do agree that Ayu should have won that, but BoA is popular so she had to at least top one of the polls
