Oricon: who would you want to become?

Tokyograph News · 05-29-2009, 09:28 AM

Weekly entertainment magazine ORI?STAR polled 700 male and female readers on which famous person they would like to try being. In the men's category, singer/actor Masaharu Fukuyama ranked first, while Namie Amuro took the top spot in the women's category. Many of the readers expressed a wish to have similar personal experiences to those of Fukuyama and Amuro.

Male readers said they wanted to sing like Fukuyama and have his sexy voice. One 20-year-old commented, "I want to do karaoke. He sings well and the way he sings looks really cool." Another reader from Osaka said, "I want to see how it is to be popular among women. He's cool and 'Almighty.'"

Among the women, many expressed their desire to have Amuro's good looks, as well as her balanced and fashionable style. "I want to feel satisfied standing in front of a mirror wearing all kinds of outfits! She has a goddess-like style and anything looks good on her," stated an 18-year-old female from Osaka.

Hiro Mizushima ranked second in the male category and Takuya Kimura followed in third place. Ayumi Hamasaki placed second with Aoi Miyazaki ranking third in the women's category.

I would never have thought of wanting to be Amuro Namie... Or Ayu either.
In fact, if I had to choose, I would say I want to be Shinohara Ryoko, or, even better, Maya Miki. In fact I often say "when I am grown up, I want to be Maya Miki".
Maybe I'm too old to refer to Amuro or Hamasaki as models (and I don't mention the other ones that are waaaaaay too young too).

Some people really want to be Hayase Haruka ? Well then, being Hayase would mean acting with Kimura, I think that's something to consider ^__^.

Even though I'm a girl, I also wanted to become Fukuyama Masaharu. Man not only have that voice with him, but an attractive personality and a smart business sense to boot.
