Japan’s Most Dramatic Celebrities

Oricon recently asked over 1,000 Japanese men and women which celebrity they found to have the most dramatic/interesting lifestyle.

Unsurprisingly, Erika Sawajiri was chosen as the #1 most dramatic celebrity. The 22 year old actress/singer/model/drama queen has been making headlines ever since 2005, whether it’s by her underage drinking, marriage to a man twice her age, one of her countless b*tch fits, or simply existing, her endless scandals keep Japanese reporters and paparazzi following her like sheep — despite the fact that she hasn’t done any kind of work in nearly two years. Some of the voters commented saying “Erika’s life should be made into a movie.” and “She is the only person who’s able to live a life like that.”

Coming in at second place is the 80’s idol, Seiko Matsuda who’s often called the “Queen of Scandals” because of her multiple marriages, all ending in divorce.

Third on the list was Takeshi Kitano, who literally does everything. After dropping out of school and working in an elevator at a nightclub, he’s been a filmmaker, actor, comedian, film editor, presenter, screenwriter, poet, author, painter, and video game designer.

At number four we have Hiroshi Tamura, a comedian and author whose bestselling autobiography went on to become a movie, and a highly popular TV drama.

The last on the list is pop singer Namie Amuro. She managed to shock the country in 1997 during the peak of her career when she held a press conference announcing that she had recently married and was three months pregnant. After taking a year off for her child, she made an extremely successful comeback, only to be set back once again by her mothers murder.
