2bH I only know Namie, Kaori Momoi and Anna ^^"

i dont see any kakkoi from the first girl. who is she?

Namie Amuro is definitely cool. :yes

The #1 person doesn't look all that cool to me..... :shrug


....that ain't cool

Kaori Momoi is the coolest. Anyone who stars in some trippy Japanese Western mish-mash with English phonetic dialogue by one of the best directors in the world automatically deserves a cool award.

Just because she doesn't "look cool" in that one photograph doesn't mean she's not, you guys. :laugh

I would loooove to get to know #3 and #4 though. =O

Haha! The outfit is terrible. Unless she's wearing, I don't know, Japanese sandals with it. Otherwise, it's pretty generic redcarpet fluff.

Miki maya is dorama actress...she played on attention please, galileo, etc...
i love her act and i think she IS looks cool
too bad that ayu didn't make it into this chart

You think Ayu looks cool? rofl.

Anna Tsuchiya? -.- Gosh...

Dear Anna is really really KOOL! That girl's image should be on top 5

^ Seriously. She's very cool.

WOW Miki Maya is no.1 Coooolll

I love her actress she is very very good !!

IMO none of those women are cool. Especially Namie.

Namie owns.

she's all old, and has tattoos. Come on. And she's all whorish. Why wouldnt they think she's cool.

I think Anna Tsuchiya is cool...even though I'm not that into her. I don't know the actresses.

Yep. Her image is usually very cool.

This is probably the greatest description of Namie I've ever read in my life. :yes

haha wow, miki is kinda cool, playing the cold roles

Anna Tsuchiya? *vomit*

Anna Tsuchiya is pretty damn cool.

And this whole thread is quickly just going downhill anyway. *cough*

i think nakashima mika is coolest one......

she rarely smiling.......n seems like dont have passionate life....:>

sory but i think miki maya doesnt look cool at all to me.....n she looks like a housekeeper in ma country.....sorry if i offend miki maya fans......

It is old in the entertainment industry.

It has nothing to do with personal opinions.

Namie is "older" and has been around forever.

Therefore it's probably very cool that she would have followings with people in totally different age groups.

That's so true.
n Tana, dont take that word "OLD" in a negative/too serious way dear^^

By who's standards? 31 isn't old by any means. And I have heard NO ONE in the entertainment industry call someone in their 30s old. Patricia Field even called her young.

Ironic.

"older" and "old" have different meanings. Saying "she's all old" gives off a different connotation by far.

That makes no sense.

Namie is cool because she has a cool image. Plus the fact that she's 31 and still looks great for her age is a plus. I wonder how many times I'll need to reteirate this.

Read her post more carefully :rolleyes

If Namie is so old why does she still constantly appear on the cover of magazines geared towards younger women? :rolleyes

You all should have at least some grasp of the Japanese entertainment industry by now, Namie would not be getting those covers if she was all frumpy and old.

Namie IS old. I mean, how many mainstream idols are there out there who are older than her? Not many. People need to just accept the fact that she is really old, and she's starting to look her age.

Nowadays, age is mostly a number. Hell, 60 is the new 50, so I cannot understand why people choose to be so ageist (though we all know kang is doing it to troll) and seriously hold onto that ignorant mentality. If you seriously think like that in real life, then you need to get off of your computers and see just how active people in their 30s 40s and 50s can be. It's not like you age 10 years once you turn 30. Get a ****ing clue.

Ever heard of Seiko Matsuda? Age never stopped her from bouncing around like a cheerleader. You're clueless and out of touch bigtime.

It wasn't supposed to be derogatory. Fine we will refrain from calling Namie "old". But there is no doubt that she is older, and I think she has gained a lot of respect in the fact that she is still performing, getting all those covers, as Dolce felt it necessary to point out, and still has hit releases.

Much in the way Seiko has. The fact that she looks younger, would only make her cooler to women.

I don't think it's only her image that makes her cool but of course it's a big part.

So what's your point? Namie is OLD n that's bad ?
I only agree the fact that's she old = long time singing, but 32 is totally not old at all.

wooo!! grats 2 namie<33

people!!! namie is a year older than ayu! if youre callin namie old, then ur callin ayu old too o_0

AGE AINT NOTHIN BUT A NUMBER~! jeez. ppl r so "ageist" D:

Actually, if you think that Seiko Matsuda is a "mainstream idol" today like I said, you're the out of touch one. Namie's the oldest of today's major female singers, and you can't deny that.

omg.

The only reason why I even said that was because she is old in the industry.

I mean she was immensely popular even before people even heard about Ayu.

like 1995 and ****. Think about it. I was 5 years old at the time. That is a long time to me.

And she's still popular, and she's still coming out with awesome stuff, that imo sounds better than anything she used to release, but that's probably just my tastes.

They may only be one or two years apart, but Namie has like years on Ayu in the industry and even more on other popular singers.

It's not about how old you are, it's about how old you look.

I didn't realize that Namie fans these days are so defensive. Maybe it's because they're new? Back in the day, I rarely encountered people so rabid about her. This was before Queen of Hip-Pop.

I do think Ayu is cool in ways that Namie isn't (like writing all of her own lyrics, for one thing). But cool is overrated anyway. The worship of cool is so 80s/90s. I'd take class over cool any time.

Yup, I'll put my faith in that belief, and I know others would be more skeptical. But you have to believe in something in this world.

I don't see any other evidence to the contrary. Even that site that claims she took phrases from other songs seems to have been put up by some moron who thinks writing equals the sum of all its parts. This person obviously has no idea what the writing process entails. Writing is not done in a vacuum. It takes inspiration and ideas from everywhere.

I think the "old" comments come from Namie being over 30 and still doing great in the JAPANESE industry. Traditionally, once you hit 30, you were no longer considered "fresh" and pretty much took a dip in popularity. Namie has done the opposite. Of course today in Japan that old "tradition" seems to be declining, which I think is great, but you have to consider that the Japanese entertainment industry has been pretty ageist itself.

Namie is COol!

No doubt namie in the list..

awesome, anna

Who was denying that? And again, what's your point? She's the cream of the crop when it comes to singers who were previously idols, but she's certainly not an old woman like you were saying in your previous post. As I said: Get a clue. You're not even Japanese, I shouldn't expect people like you to perpetrate such an ideology about what age is too old in the entertainment industry. But then again.... this is you we're talking about. If you can't even read or spell... ja.

"rabid"? I didn't know having common sense was being rabid. And that's great for you, but I defend anything I like so. :/ You probably don't even know the definition of rabid if you think that I'm acting rabid. Welcome to AHS though, there hardly is any logic present here.

Namie is one artist nowadays that has that really cool demeneur in the image that she portrays. That's what this poll is about, so what you're going on about right there is pointless. Wow, and Namie is also 'cool' in ways that Ayu isn't. Big deal. I like them both for what they can and can't do.

Ja, Namie's pretty classy too.

@emiko: That's great for you, but that's not what you wrote at all in your first post. "She's all old" does not = "She's been in the entertainment industry for many years". Learn how to write and/or communicate your ideas properly.

It was a joke tanachu.

Learn not to be so defensive about Namie.

If you knew anything, you'd know that I absolutely adore Namie, and didn't mean anything bad when I said what I said.

It's not my fault if kang daesung uses it to be an even bigger *******.

And truth be told, you are "rabid" about her. And everyone thinks so. So the sooner you start to accept it, the better off we'll all be. You think people argue with you just to see their posts on the screen? I thought you had common sense. Why don't you use it?

Whatever. I'm done with this thread.

cool that namie is in it!! *-*



why anna tsuchiya?? :S
because shes all crazy b**** LOL

i used to like her, but after i listened to one of her english songs... ohh gosh
was that english??

she cant even sing... in any language.


is she even a woman?? she aint that old LOL


and her style annoys me too... X_____x

Why don't you learn how to type and not play the "lol it was a joke" card all of the time?

When did I question your "adoration" for Namie? Stop putting words into my mouth and learn how to read.

Again: Saying "She's all old" isn't the same thing as saying someone has been in the industry for a long time.

So funny that you're the only one getting defensive now just because I dared question your logic. Last I checked this was a forum and I have every right to reply to something I dissagree with. :rolleyes From this post of yours I gather that you don't have the slightest clue as to what "rabid" means in the first place, because I'm far from it. Being 31 is not old and I would have said the same thing for Ayumi (since you seem to believe that I only defend Namie). It's not a defense of just Namie but of women in general. That line of thinking is so ageist and it just disgusts me that people in this day and age actually think they can decide for others when a good age is to stop a career. Who is "everyone"? Do you speak for "everyone"? I thought so. Also, stop trying to play mod every chance that you get. It's not in the slightest bit needed.

Good riddance. :rolleyes

namie amurooo...cool ^^!~

Anna and Namie definitely deserve the cool title.

yeah! Namie sure has to be in the chart!!
