Oricon recently conducted a small poll among 500 high school girls, asking them which celebrity they would want as their "personal producer." The #1 answer was makeup artist IKKO, chosen for her skill in beauty techniques. On the other hand, #2 was comedian Shinsuke Shimada, who was apparently picked for his ability to develop people's inner qualities.

Popular actor Masaharu Fukuyama ranked 3rd, followed by the fashionable Kaela Kimura and pop star Ayumi Hamasaki. The rest of the top ten were Becky, Tsuyoshi Domoto, Yasutaka Nakata (the mastermind behind capsule and producer of Perfume), Shoko Nakagawa, and Karina.
