Japan’s most beautiful idol singer faces, with AKB48 barely cracking the top 10【Survey】 soranews24.com

One idol group dominates the poll by taking all five top slots.
Yuka Sugai (656 votes)Sugai hails from Keyakizaka46, itself a sister group of Nogizaka46, which was specifically formed to be the official rival of AKB48, Japan’s most famous idol group (though all three units share the same producer).
Jurina Matsui (1,150 votes)Like Yokoyama, Matsui is the sole top-10 representative of her idol unit, Nagoya’s SKE48.
She’s also the last idol in the top 10 not from the group that dominated this year’s rankings.
Mai Shiraishi (4,224 votes)For the second year in a row, voters awarded Nogizaka46’s Shiraishi with the top honor.
