BUBKA’s rankings of the most-loved and most-despised women of 2011

It’s that time of the year again when the monthly magazine and tabloid “BUBKA” releases the results of their infamous questionnaires, where their readers are able to pick the female talents of 2011 they like and hate the most. In addition to those two main rankings, the magazine also asked which woman had the biggest breakthrough in 2011.


Check out the various rankings below!

Many people who voted for Ayase Haruka this year commented the same things as usual: “I love her round eyes as well as the gentle and soothing feeling she is giving off”, “It’s rare to see someone with such an untainted nature among her peers. We have to protect her” and “She has such a kind personality.”


Runner-up Sasaki Nozomi manged to improve by one rank compared to last year. Thanks to her great looks and style, she is the role-model for many young woman and girls. AKB48’s Maeda Atsuko came in third, ranking the highest among the countless of AKB48 girls that invaded the ranking this year again.


Last year’s third place, Ueto Aya, unfortunately dropped down the 13th place – the effect of her harmonious relationship with EXILE’s HIRO? Another big loser this year was actress Nagasawa Masami. While she was able to win the crown in three consecutive years from 2007 till 2009, she only managed to come in fifth last year and even failed to enter the top 20 at all this time. The fact that she didn’t even appear in “most-despised” ranking, that you can check out below, might indicate that people simply don’t care about her anymore.
