    The newest issue of women's fashion magazine anan has the results of its annual survey asking readers to name their favorite male celebrity. For the 15th year in a row, SMAP member Takuya Kimura led the list, taking the largest chunk of the more than 17,000 votes sent in by mail and the internet.

    Kimura also repeated last year's feat of ranking highest in four other categories: Man I'd Most Like to Sleep With, Man I'd Most Want as a Boyfriend, Sexiest Man, and Most Stylish Man.

    The four other members of SMAP all ranked within the top 12. Out of the top 30, 18 of the men are affiliated with Johnny's Jimusho.

    Wow, Yamapi went up 8 spots. He'll take the title in a few years then.
