Japan’s Count-Down-TV [Jp] has concluded their annual poll for “the most wanted artist as girlfriend/boyfriend” in 2008… with YUI and Jin Akanishi topping the girlfriend and boyfriend category respectively.
Top 20 Japan’s most wanted girlfriend 2008
1. YUI 2. Kaori Mochida 3. Ayumi Hamasaki 4. Ai Otsuka 5. aiko 6. Ai Takahashi 7. Ai Kawashima 8. Kiyoe Yoshioka 9. Maimi Yajima 10. Yui Aragaki 11. Nocchi 12. Namie Amuro 13. Ayaka 14. Kaela Kimura 15. Kumi Koda 16. Misako Uno 17. Hiroko 18. BoA 19. Mai Kuraki 20. Reina Tanaka
It seems like only singers are being short-listed for this poll. Korean stars BoA and Jaejoong (from TVXQ) are the only two non-Japanese celebs that made the list.
“Polyrhythm” (ポリリズム) is Japanese pop group Perfume’s fifth major single, and is included in their 2nd second album “Game”, which was released on April 16.
Game has hit the #1 sport on Oricon chart last week; Perfume is only the second technopop group to top the chart. [Tokyograph]
Music video of Polyrhythm… a bit odd, but I like it…
