Top 25 potential Japanese girlfriends

There was a pretty cool update over at Foreign Dispatches today: A Japanese TV show conducted a nation-wide poll asking Japanese men aged 18 to 30 which female celebrity they would want as a girlfriend. Top 493 are on this page [in Japanese], and would take a tremendous amount of time to translate. I took the top 12 translation from Foreign Dispatches and expanded it up to 25, adding pictures and video links.

Well, there you have it: 25 girls, 25 pictures, and 74 youtube video links. What do you think? Some of the girls may not make my personal top 25 list, but I can at least agree that most of them are cute and/or beautiful. Ayumi Hamasaki, on the other hand, belongs on a list of the “ugliest plastic surgery nightmare aliens”, and not this list. What are your opinions of the list?

I love you Aya, even if you do eat that natto crap.
