Kame and Koda Kumi enter Best Jeanist's hall of fame

The 27th annual Best Jeanist awards ceremony was held on Tuesday.

72,153 votes were submitted, and both Koda and Kamenashi won by wide margins. Kamenashi took 29,000 votes in the men's category, nearly triple the tally for Arashi's Aiba Masaki. Koda, on the other hand, received close to 13,000 votes.

With five wins, both Koda and Kamenashi are being placed into the "hall of fame," making them ineligible for future awards. This is the first time that both the male and female winners have entered the "hall of fame" in the same year. Only three other people have achieved that milestone: Kimura Takuya, Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, and Hamasaki Ayumi.

In addition to the Public Selection category awards, committee selection awards were given to actor Kiritani Kenta (30), AKB48 member Itano Tomomi (19), and talento Haruna Ai (38). The newly established "global" award went to professional soccer star Honda Keisuke (24), who currently plays for CSKA Moscow and accepted the award through a video message. (Tokyograph)
