YAY!!! AYU!!!! congrats to Namie too!

[rakeru]

i wouldn't have imagined Namie as #1, and i didn't realize that Miyazaki himself was a celebrity! not sure how reliable the survey is, but it's still really interesting. i'm surprised (and grateful) that boyband leaders weren't higher up there.

I've never heard of it. Actually I can't even really figure out what the source actually is - looks like not Japanese though.

[zyoeru]

Yeah it's Chinese I'm guessing, but with something like a popularity poll, sources aren't really needed..
