No matter how the result irritates you, It's a good survey, I think. In Japan, Oricon or some magazines sometimes have this kind of poll, but almost all of them are just tied up with talento agencies in order to to cast a good image on the music stars or actors/actresses. For example, 'Which talento do you want to spent Golden Week together?' 'Which talento can become your best boss?' ... and so on. And sometimes the result is controlled to promote the star . Oricon never announces the number of votes polled.

Sometimes this poll is held to speak ill of people (For example, the talent whom you don't like have sex with) , but to make the result moderate, Japanese people unsually answer the comedian's name instead of hopeful musicians or actors. It's the way of surveying in the country of Wa (harmony.)

On the other hand, I think this survey from U.K. is the genuine one. Of course, I respect Beatles and Sir MacCartney as a founder of pop music, but I also agree he is annoying, especially when he comes to the politics. And the people listed in the Top10 looks annoying for some people.

Then , to disturb the harmony of this island and unbosom myself, now I'd like to vote:

TOP 5 irritating JPOP star of all time.

#5. Ryo (Ketsumeishi)
I don't say he is a bad rapper nor I don't like the song from Ketsume, But Ryo's voice, which reminds me of the one from an argumentative otaku sometimes irritates me. With the same reason, sometimes mago from 2BACKKA does.

#4. Wakadanna(Shonan no kaze)
I also kinda like their music from Shonan no kaze(because I can sing then in karaoke easily) but I can't love their style to shout in a thick voice. And their attitude - although they are over 30, they sometimes behave like a representative of young generation – also annoys me. 'You are not young anymore!!'

#3. Hirai Ken
It's irritating that he is always pretending to be straight. I'm not a gay, but he should understand how sad gays become when the representative of them pretends as such.

#2. Tsunku
It's irritating that he is always singing along the with girls he produces, and spoil the kawaii voices from young girls, just to earn royalties from the song. If he doesn't, I would have been still a fan of Hello project. I wish Nakata Yasutaka won't become like him.

#1. Akimoto Yasushi
It's irritating that he is still a powerful existence in Japanese show business and produces tons of craps in idol music world and spoil the image of idol pop, and make it the one just for otakus.

Of course, it's just my vote, and the persons whom I could think of in 30 minutes. Maybe there will be more annoying persons I hate too much and I erased from my memory subconsciously – oh, for example, Tegoshi-kun from NEWS?

And if Oricon or other magazines hold national servay for this topic, I guess these artists will appear in TOP10.

-Morning Musume
-SMAP
(Reason:the more someone loves, the more others hate).
-X-Japan
-B'z
-Southern All Stars
(Reason:the young always hates the old.)
-Ellegarden
-Orange Range
-Rip Slyme
(Reason:the old always doesn't understand the music from the young.)

Anyway, if you have some JPOP stars who irritates you so badly but you can't tell it to somebody, please leave a comment on this entry for your mental health.
