Hard to believe Horie Yui is 18th on the list.
she can't sing for sht. only prerecorded. live she has a pretty hard time.
So she doesn't mime?
I'm bummed Rie Kugimiya didn't make the list. She has a beautiful singing voice. And it can be pretty diverse.
She got trounced by fellow Idolm@ster mainstays Asami Imai and Chiaki Takahashi.
damn, Megumi Hayashibara is looking good for someone pushing 50!
The picture is at least 7 years old.
Japanese women look like 20 until they are 60. But when they are 60, they suddenly look like 100.
You clearly haven't seen many Japanese women if you can't tell a 60 year old from a 20. There are obvious signs. I suggest visiting the country and seeing for yourself, you'd be able to easily guess who is 20s/30s/40s age by appearance alone.

he really wasn't being serious. it's a stereotype.
Where's Tanaka Rie ?
Damn right you are! Where the hell is she?!
SHE GOT MARRIED.
We all know that. I'm judging her for her voice, not for her personal life.
Japanese DO judge them for their personal life, though. Any time one of these ladies gets a boyfriend or marries there is massive asspain, disc-smashing, poster-burning, protests, stalking, death threats etc.
Too busy in bed with me.

sooo.. Inoue Kikuko can't even get in the top 20 ?
Probably most people that voted have never heard her sing. I mean, Hayashibara is freakin 10, for god's sake!
I asked this on the "Most Beautiful Seiyuu list" as well and where the hell is Kitamura Eri? She is a really talented and diverse singer.
Puchiko is #1-nyu!
kana only 4th, wtf
Hey guys, how long are we supposed to keep up this prank where we all pretend Kana Hanazawa can sing? At this point, I just feel sorry for her. It's OK to be a cute, competent voice actress who can't sing, damn it.
agreed. a perfectly fine VA, but her singing is grating to the ears. just stop lady
it's mostly the production that's pushing the gig on her. female seiyuu nowadays are expected eventually to sing at some point in their career cuz sometimes, the show just demands for it.
agree, she can't sing but like the previous commentary, she sing it's mainly for selling CDs.
They can make shitloads of money off collector otaku doing image song CDs and tie-in songs and because most of the shows getting made now are moe and harem shows, they needs lots of female voice actresses to sing. Mainstream anime that don't pander can have someone else sing the songs but if it's a harem or moe anime it's pretty much guaranteed that one of the voice actresses will be singing the theme songs, too.
No, she was already doing guerrilla lives in Akihabara by herself years before going pro... Most likely she never realized her own shortcomings
It's not that she's a bad singer, only that her vocal range is quite limited.
All member of SPHERE are on the list though.
Baka.
Minako Kotobuki (K-On's Tsumugi) is a member of SPHERE and she's not on the list.
Nana! Nana! Nana!
BATMAN !
Someone give this man an award.
Aoi Yūki needs to be in this list but she's still fairly new to singing I guess.
This is what it sounds like when seiyus can sing.
Ai Kayano, Haruka Tomatsu, Saori Hayami Secret Base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~

I see your bet and rise a bit...

Haruka Tomatsu, Aya Hirano and Ryoko Shiraishi
Yui Horie only at 18th ? so sad ... I never heard Saori Hayami
KanaHana at #4 is, as much as I like her, a joke. Sakamoto Maaya below her, at #7, a crime.
Missing the likes of Kitamura Eri (one of the Great Ones in terms of singing ability along with the likes of Maaya & Hayami) or Harada Hitomi.
What about that chick that played Ranka Lee in Macross Frontier. I know Macross Frontier was a long time ago but she is still active.
Probably because the last thing she did was long enough to be over shadowed by others. Though she's done other things her only claim to fame is Macross Frontier. (Yeah she's done other things like Basquatch and Lagrange)

Yes!
I wish Nana Mizuki had more melodic songs. She's such an awesome singer.
You're joking right? All of Nana's song are extremely melodic; a history of anisongs she can't grow out of.
Perhaps I should have said "even more", then. She has many, but for my personal tastes I wish there were still more. Like for example in Nanoha Vivid the OP sounds less melodic than Tamura Yukari's ED. Nana is so good she can pull off any kind of song, so I'm just talking about my own preferences.
> Hayashibara Megumi on the list
> Decent list
> Sakamoto Maaya on the list as well
> Not bad.jpg
No Nao Touyama, Eri Kitamura, or Ayane Sakura?
Merh
Hailed for truth!
Yeah I don't put much stock in any of Sankaku's lists, and having this list without Nao Touyama doesn't change my mind on that matter.
My personal best singers list would rank who has the best tits. I gotta be able to fap to them at the very least.
From the women in this list, Chiaki Takahashi would be #1 on your list.
