Japan’s Top 15 Most Popular Female Actors for 2021 from freeamfva's blog

The Chinese central government recently made the headlines by banning all celebrity rankings to “rectify chaos in the fan community.” How about Japan? Nothing to worry about over here, where ranking actors remains almost a national sport.To get more news about 91亚洲人成电影网站, you can visit our official website.

The annual survey of Japan’s most popular actors was just released by the magazine Bunshun. Like People Magazine’s similar annual report for the U.S, let’s see who made the cut.
Scope of Survey
The survey was conducted for 24 days, from June 4 – 27. A total of 7,580 votes were received. 63% of the respondents were women, and 37% were men. They ranged in age from 10 to 92 years old.

Keys to Success
The most important factors for determining success or failure at the upper echelon of Japanese female actors differ somewhat from how male actors achieve professional recognition.

Modeling Pedigree as a Base
Just about every entrant in the Top 15 has modeled at one point in their career. Some have, however, more traditional experience in live theater.

5th ranked Yuki Amami’s popularity can be traced back to her experience as a member of the famous Takarazuka Review (宝塚歌劇団), an all-female musical theater troupe founded in Kansai in 1913. It still enjoys almost a cult-like following throughout the country.

Power Couples
Like the former alliance of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt or the phenomenon of “Bennifer,” the relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, which has, apparently, recently been rekindled, a few of these Japanese “A-Listers” benefit from having a popular spouse in the same business.

Notable examples include Erika Toda (#14), who recently married Tori Matsuzaka. He ranked #8 on Bunshun’s list of the Top 15 male actors in Japan.

The “power couple” of Yui Aragaki (#4) and Gen Hoshino, a very successful J-pop singer who has recently branched out into acting. Aragaki had co-starred with Hoshino in the made-for-TV series The Full-Time Wife Escapist (逃げ恥婚).

Some readers may recognize Keiko Kitagawa (#6) from her bit role in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. She just got married to rock musician DAIGO. He is a famous Japanese singer-songwriter of the rock band Breakerz and was formerly known as Daigo☆Stardust (including the star emoji).
Perhaps you may recall Yuki Kudo (工藤夕貴) or Kaori Momoi (桃井かおり) from Memoirs of a Geisha. How about Koyuki Kato (加藤小雪) in The Last Samurai? No? Well, while you may remember their faces and/or characters from these movies, you can be forgiven for having difficulty matching them to their real names.
