Oricon surveyed 1,000 people to see which celebrity people would want to spend their Tanabata festival with on July 7.

Singer Masaharu Fukuyama, who tends to be at the top of most popularity lists, unsurprisingly came in at #1 among male celebrities, in a repeat of last year's results. Actor Hiroshi Tamaki ranked second, followed by Koichi Domoto and Joe Odagiri. There was a four-way tie for #5 among Shun Oguri, Mocomichi Hayami, Yuta Hiraoka, and Tomohisa Yamashita.

Among female celebrities, last year's #1 choice, singer Ai Otsuka, got bumped to second by the new queen of popularity, Masami Nagasawa. #3 was Yui Aragaki, while Maki Horikita and singer YUI tied for fourth.
