For this morning that I'm supposed to try get my 1x1 picture taken and printed before rushing to UP and getting the Italian 12 readings without being late for my 1 o'clock class, I eventually got lazy and strayed towards the fandom. I came upon a Tokyohive article on
Goo ranking's poll for the best singer among young JE talents and I definitely lovelovelovelovelove the result for number #1!
Here goes Top 10, (although I only care for the highlighted ones XD):
- Ohno Satoshi
- Tegoshi Yuya
- Masuda Takahisa
- Shibutani Subaru
- Kamenashi Kazuya
- Yamashita Tomohisa
- Matsumoto Jun
- Ninomiya Kazunari
- Takizawa Hideaki
- Sakurai Sho
Akanishi Jin
So... noticed something? Hehe. Personally, I find that I can't agree with the fact that Jun is somehow higher on the list than Nino. Jun is my ichiban of course, but when it comes to singing, I have long since believed that Nino is the better vocalist. Wonder what is it with the 'range' criteria that makes nasal!Jun surpass wobbly!Nino as the better talent? MC chops? (I have no idea what that means, btw.)
Anyway, I checked back on goo and tried to find where Aiba is, so here's 12 to 15:
- Nishikido Ryo
- Imai Tsubasa
- Aiba Masaki
- Ikuta Toma
I feel like highlighting Toma's name too, but that would mean I would have to highlight Kame and Yamapi. And I wouldn't want to highlight more than half of the list because... well, my bias is Arashi, after all. And I want Ohno to shine. He deserves it.
EDIT: I forgot to include where I took these from. So now I'm including them:
Tokyohive and
Goo ranking.
