Oricon asked a thousand people to name which 20-year-old celebrity they think will have a breakthrough year in 2008.
Results as follows:
1) Yui Arargaki
2) Maki Horikita
3) Erika Toda
4) Meisa Kuroki
5) Mikako Tabe
6) Ai Fukuhara
7) Miliyah Kato
8) Akiyoshi Nakao
The top three happen to be my favorite stars at the moment. Yui with her raising popularity and Newcomers' awards is definitely a hot-fav. Maki has gained so much fame through her role in Hana Kimi that got her various endorsement jobs and even a album cover in the new compliation CD -
First Love though Maki herself has admitted before that she totally cannot sing.
Erika Toda is also one of the most popular young actress in Japan at the moment. Having opportunities to star in so many popular drama along with really cute male idols, like Kame and Yamapi. She also got to cast in the popular movie like
Death Note. I believe the peak of her career has just started. =)
