Oricon has released the results of its end-of-the-year survey askingmen and women who they thought was the most successful young star of2007. With two thousand people participating in the survey, the answerswere actress Yui Aragaki and comedian Yoshio Kojima.
Aragaki has had a phenomenal year, which included her first starringroles in film and television, the start of a music career, and anincrease in commercials. Erika Sawajiri, who ranked 2nd among femalecelebrities, also saw similar success this year, though it was marredby the “Closed Note” PR incident.
The rest of the women’s top five were Kanako Yanagihara, Sumiko Nishioka (the oldest of the list at 33), and Maki Horikita.
Kojima easily topped the men’s list, as he was ranked first by allage groups. His silly routine has become amazingly popular, and hiscatchphrase “Sonna no kankei nee” was named one of the top ten“buzzwords of the year.”
Shun Oguri was second in the rankings, followed by Yu Darvish, Ryo Ishikawa, and Toma Ikuta.
