The latest issue of tabloid magazine Shukan Bunshun includes the results of the publication's annual rankings of female celebrities disliked by women across the nation. A thousand women participated in the survey, and 386 of them selected actress Erika Sawajiri, placing her at the top of the list. Unranked last year, Sawajiri has earned a lot of scorn within the last month due to her unprofessional behavior at the opening of the "Closed Note" film.
Sawajiri outranked last year's number one, fortune teller Kazuko Hosoki, by a margin of more than 150 votes.
Akiko Wada remained at #3, while Uno Kanda and talento Ayako Nishikawa (who tied for #8 last year) jumped up to #4 and #5, respectively. Masami Hisamoto also gained some haters, rising twelve places to #6.
Politician Makiko Tanaka joined the rankings at #7, followed by Shizuka Kudo (#20 last year) and actress Tamao Sato (#2 last year).
Popular actress Masami Nagasawa made a surprising appearance at #10. One respondent was quoted as saying that Nagasawa has an attitude of self-importance and seems to be two-faced. Writer Chiaki Aso added that the actress is also seen as acting out of her league - the actual phrase is "juunen hayai," which literally means "ten years too early" - based on things such as the bare-shouldered dress she wore while walking the red carpet at the Tokyo International Film Festival, and the rumors that she will be hosting the upcoming Kohaku Uta Gassen.
