These are the top celebrities of Japan according to the Chinese right?

Ayu is called "The Stepsister"? Makes her sound evil!

Hmm I just looked at the whole picture again, and the headline actually reads,

"Top 20 out of Japan's 100 celebrities based on Public Image Satisfaction"

So just like what Maxker has found out, this is more of a public image thing; I guess more of how the celebrities present themselves in front of the media, etc, and not exactly how popular they are. ^^

lol none of these poll things are ever really official unless they're based specifically on sales or something and even then there's some ambiguation...so it's not something people should really take it all seriously.


It's just for fun you guys lol Not all Chinese things are complete trash lol

ppl, dont misunderstood the meaning

its actually ayu's nickname in chinese which is written 步姐, and if you really translate word by word, its means "step/walk" (As in foot step) and "sister"

I saw the article relating to this Top 100 chart. It's found in S'pore's My Paper, however it's in Chinese and I'm bad at translating. So those who's interested and understand Chinese, feel free to have a read:

Yeah, I wanted to say that too.

Just from the google translation (not reading the source lol too lazy) it seems that there were a bunch of polls and surveys made for people from all over Asia regarding public image... HOWEVER, to determine public image is to determine how popular a person is, or how far-reaching the person's name is. So this basically is a popularity poll, because if you manage your image well, you *will* be popular... which is then kinda weird because I do think Ayu is more far-reaching then Namie in Asia, and Miyazaki should *definitely* have taken the cake. His films are crazy crazy popular. But whatever.

And I wouldn't jump to conclusions about all Chinese sources being trash because that's just a bad generalisation.

congrats Namie and Ayu ^^
Who is the man in second place? I can't even see the kanji

This is an interesting article whether it's official or reliable. Congrats to Ayu, Namie and Hikki! And Mr. Miyazaki deserves his position or maybe higher than Namie.

thanks for sharing!

Ah, ok I understand. "A sister to walk along with" more than "evil stepsister who's prettier than you".
