In bold are the singers I currently enjoy very much. Hikki has always been my fav. According to them:
Since the rankings started in 2004, Utada has topped the list three times (2004, 2007, 2008). She was ranked #2 and #4 in 2005 and 2006, respectively, while aiko had back-to-back victories.
aiko was #3 this year, behind the popular duo Kobukuro, who repeated their #2 ranking from last year. Mr.Children took #4, followed by Dreams Come True and Southern All Stars. Namie Amuro, B’z, Spitz, and Arashi filled out the top ten.

i like Hikaru Utada be number 1, but I Hope Yui get better position…
namie should be no 1
YUI no 2
hikki 3rd
hmm, just realize it, no Ayumi Hamasaki, nor Otsuka Ai …
So glad Hikki made #1. She’s my favorite too!
I do like Mika Nakashima a lot. But it seems she is not that popular…Such a pity..
