US People magazine's selection of its 100 Most Beautiful People is usually announced on the third week of April and its result receives great attention and reactions from all around the world.
For this, ORICON STYLE announces its own choice of 'Japan's Most Beautiful Celebrity' ranking under the theme "Who is Japan's Most Beautiful Celebrity?".
Under the men's category, the first place goes to the singer who creates the sensation of the moment, nicknamed 'Fukuyama Ryoma' for his role in the 2010 NHK's Taiga Drama 'Ryoma-den'(The Legend of Ryoma), singer-actor Fukuyama Masaharu.While in the women's category, she is known for her low-key yet full of transparency beauty, be it in a cosmetic or a whiskey TV commercial which her sense of presence and charm captured her legion of male fans, she is none other than actress Koyuki.Her beauty is described as embodying the modesty of standard Japanese beauty and even receives praises as the 'Japanese Beauty'.
Fukuyama's double score difference between him and the second spot winner comes to no shock as he already clinched the top spot of "Most Wanted Celebrity as a Boyfriend" ranking for four consecutive years now.Not only that he held 'captive' of his female fans in Japan but also fascinates a number of male fans as well.This is revealed in last year's ORICON STYLE tongue-in-cheek "Most Adored Male Singer by Men Fans" where Fukuyama took the number one spot.One female fan said, "From medieval clothing like those he wore in 'Ryoma' to modern fashion, everything fits him so well, I can feel his seductive appeal", as his maturity as a man, as a singer reaches a heightened level more and more.Fukuyama is not giving up to the hordes of young 'ikemen' actors and this is clear as his wind of popularity as the lead actor in NHK's Taiga Drama "Ryoma" gets further stronger.
Retaining the second spot since last year is also in the same league with Fukuyama, known as the "40-something year old" singer league, singer GACKT. Even though he revealed his real age to the public while acting in a play last year, fans don't seem to be bothered by this."I'm fascinated by his looks but I completely let myself lost while listening to his songs too.One word:Beauty, I can't find another word...", a fan remarked.At 40-something, he still turn the heads of younger female more than once, even getting passionate 'love call'.
This time, surrendering the first spot and be contented with third spot only is actor Mizushima Hiro.From his acting in Fuji TV's 'Mei-chan no Shitsuji' as a handsome butler where he plead allegiance to single bachelorette, it has established his position as the 'Ideal Prince'."His face is lovely, and there's something about him that tells he is the kind of guy who is devoted and supportive to his wife", a fan commented.
The prime reason supporting the title 'Beautiful Person' is that, it goes without saying that outer appearance comes first but at the same time when that person goes out in public doing his/her work for livelihood and as strictness and demands of professionalism are piled up to him/herself and if that person for sure shows radiance from his/her face, time and again this bears fruit for him/her (getting the title).

SMAP's Takuya Kimura is "Cute" as the King of Tea in a 3D CM?
SMAP member Takuya Kimura attended the press conference of the new tea brand "TeaO" by Asahi the other day. In the new CM, Kimura had been playing the role of "Tea King ('Tea O' in Japanese)" of the Tea Kingdom where everyone likes black tea. Kimura would be acting with anime characters such as tea pots, tea cups, tea leaves, a cake monster and a macaroon in the CM, showing a brand new side of him. In addition, the 3D version will be on air in the cinema from May 15th.
On the day, Kimura watched the CM at Roppongi TOHO Cinema with the 3D glasses, and heard the screaming "Cute!!" from the audience. "The voice of 'Cute!' was more surprising to me than the 3D CM!" said Kimura, "I drink this in the concert to clear my throat." He did some promotion to their coming-up national tour as well.
