An online matchmaker has announced Japan's most popular celebrity marriage choices for this year.
For its annual rankings of the stars people would most like to marry, Match.com interviewed 500 people between the ages of 22 and 44 in and around Tokyo (so to be fair, the survey is slanted towards the tastes of the capital). On top of the male rankings was actor and singer
Fukuyama Masaharu (40, top left), who is always at or near the top in polls of the country's most popular bachelors. In second place was young actor
Mizushima Hiro (25), who only this month announced his engagement to singer
Ayaka (21). Filling out the top 3 was actor
Tustsumi Shinichi (44). The number one female catch was actress
Ayase Haruka
(24, bottom left), whose main appeal seems to be her "iyashikei" (soothing, therapeutic) smile. It helped her hold off the challenge of somewhat more established actresses
Ueto Aya
(23) and
Nakama Yukie
(29).
