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.
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!
Puchiko is #1-nyu!
Nana! Nana! Nana!
BATMAN !
Someone give this man an award.
