Monday is Respect for the Aged Day in Japan, prompting Oricon to conduct a new survey: "Which celebrity would be a wonderful grandfather/grandmother?"

In a repeat of last year's similar survey, Ken Utsui and Mitsuko Mori came out on top.

The rest of the men's top ten were: Shunji Fujimura, Rentaro Mikuni, Hideji Otaki, Ken Ogata, Yuzo Kayama, Hisaya Morishige and Junji Takada (tied for #7), Kinichi Hagimoto, and Tetsuya Watari tied for tenth with Shigeru Izumiya and Tamori.

Excluding Mori, the women's list consisted of: Kaoru Yachigusa, Yoko Nogiwa, Sayuri Yoshinaga, Kirin Kiki, Kin Sugai, Tamao Nakamura, Mitsuko Kusabue, and Tetsuko Kuroyanagi tied for ninth with Pinko Izumi.
