an an's most popular guy ranking 2005

an an has released their list of the most popular guy in Japan for 2005. Kimutaku gets No.1 again. He's holds this title for 12 years. Even though he is not my type, I have to say this is a great record, I think in some way it shows how Japanese women have changed a little in recent times. Before Kimutaku, young and single were important factors, but Kimutaku is in his 30s, married, (his wife, hmm a kind of a mystery...Why her?!) and he has two kids. Does that mean, we can say "before Kimutaku" and "after Kimutaku." BK and AK? :-p

Anyway even with such good news, we cannot see his face on an an's pages because of Johnny's rule. Look at this! That stramge gray  shadow is Kimutaku's picture on a real magazine cover. This is the cover page of another an an, which was a special on " sex works for love". The picture was Junichi Okada of V6; I wish I could show this sexy nude.

But that crazy Johnny's rule seems to be changing little by little. I was surprised to see Kimutaku's face on Mainichi waiwai (Japanese media!!). However I found another one in The Japan Times too. Hmm I wonder if Japan'S media -in English- are allowed to show their faces on the Internet now?? No No No not only in the English media, because look at this year's NHK Taiga drama web site. This year it's Yoshitsune, (last year it was Shinsengumi),  Another member of Johnny's group, Hideaki Takizawa ( Google search ), plays a main character named Yoshitsune. You will see this face on Top page in big size even though it is just a moment! (ah ugly Takky:his nickname, they really should pick a nicer one...picture and nickname). Why does Johny allow this? Because this is a Flash page? Because this is the biggest drama in Japan? hmm probably yes.

Anyway here are the result of the 2005 list.
The best
No.1 Kimutaku---Korean Actor Won Bin looks like Kimutaku? Don't you think so?
No.2 Masaharu Fukuyama---I heard he is a nice guy, my friend worked with him.
No.3 Junichi Okada---Along the same lines, I prefer Matsujun of Kimi wa Pet.
No.4 Tuyoshi Kusanagi---??? Why him?  O giess tjeu meeded someone to round out the list?
No.5 Shingo Katori---He reminds me of a sort of dog. Down boy!

The worst
No.1 Teturo Degawa---He gets very little media exposure, but he still manages to win every year. Great Job. Soon you'll catch up to Kumutaku's record.
No.2 Junichi Ishida---The love affair is culture!! That's what he said when he got devorced.
No.3 Monta Mino---a little too greasy tele-evangelist.
No.4 Hosei Yamazaki---A bullied child?
No.5 Takaaki Ishibashi---We have the impression he has a mean bone.

Hi Haung

Hi Robert
Your so funny. I have to admist, when Degawa appear on my monitor I change channel. ( it hardly happend because I do not watch such type of program he appears....no no hardly watch TV show actually).

Hi Gwen
You like Kusanagi? Your like Japanese guys more than American! Interesting. Rare person kamo! For me Brad Pitt, Orland bloom are handsome most. :-)

Did Kimutaku-san act as a pilot in a Jap drama ?
How come Takeshi Kaneshiro didn't make it to the list ? :(

[robert]

damn. I missed making the list again? hmmm what about Koizumi?.. I heard he's on China's list. Or was it Russia's? South Korea's? Oh my Oyajiness is showing itself. If I'm not careful I'll end up on the "worst" list...maybe I'll even topple Degawa-san. heh heh..maybe not. in any case Tokio-kun is giving me a dirty look so I'll behave now. thank you for the special thanks..but I hardly feel I deserve it. You're the one doing all the hard work. I just do a little spit shine here and there. (¹_¹)
