Which actresses are just as impressive at singing?

[KarenPang]

The singing career of actress Kuroki Meisa has been quite successful recently and there is no sign of her going to stop singing anytime soon, but fans of Japanese music should know that she is far from being an exception, as many actresses have had and still have successful careers as singers.

Contrary to their male counterparts, it seems to be more common to start out as an actress and add a singing career once you have made a name for yourself. By contrast, many actors have actually started out as singers before adding acting to their resumes.

As you can see, there are plenty choice for this poll, but did your favorite actress-turned-singer made it into the top 10 of this NTT DoCoMo/goo ranking?
