Daigo-Keiko Kitagawa?
ReplyDeleteReally? Okay, they look pretty.
Don't get me wrong, I love them but compare to the other couple, they just married yesterday.
Make me wonder what's the indicator of "ideal".
If Keiko is there I wonder why Ueto Aya isn't, I thought that she's Japan's darling.

This type of ranking probably depends on whether the public views the couple in a favourable light and has little bearing on their individual popularity. As such, if the couple is viewed as not so compatible for some reason, that could be why they were not chosen by the survey respondents.
