Actresses That Produce Must-Watch DoramasJapanese internet search engine and web portal "goo" released the results of another recent survey related to actresses. It was focused on all actresses that are younger than 30 only, but similar to the actor rankings they are probably going to put up another ranking for the older actresses very soon as well.What actress can you recommend? The entertainment world brings out one new female celebrity after another. Most of them usually start out with roles in doramas and soon they become some of the most popular actresses in the country. It’s can be hard to keep track, so let’s separate the wheat from the chaff. "Younger than 30 year-old female celebrities that make you watch a dorama no matter what." The literal translations for those ranking titles can sometimes be really long…On first place we have a young actresses who had her big breakthrough with the dorama "Crying out Love, in the Center of the World" and since then has steadily seen an increase in her popularity. Yes, Ayase Haruka topped yet another new ranking. So far she played many different roles and often revealed her natural and particular character on variety shows. Her costars like to describe her as a "natural airhead" which isn’t necessarily a bad trait in the eyes of many. As clumsy she is in real life, as professional she can be during filming.Shibasaki Kou ranked int on second place. She often gets praised for her diversity that eventually resulted in a 2nd career as a singer. On February 6 her new movie "Rinco’s Restaurant" will open to the public and many people are looking forward to what kind of acting she is going to show them this time. It never gets boring watching her, that’s why she makes every dorama a must-watch.Many will be glad to see that Nagasawa Masami is still up there in the top 3 as well, despite her bad choice of roles recently and no luck at the box office rankings either. Interest in her seems to be as high as ever, all she needs to do is to deliver. I’m looking forward to her projects in 2010.Here now the full ranking:01 – Ayase Haruka02 – Shibasaki Kou03 – Nagasawa Masami04 – Miyazaki Aoi05 – Ueto Aya06 – Ueno Juri07 – Aragaki Yui08 – Toda Erika09 – Hirosue Ryoko10 – Horikita Maki10 – Aoi Yuu 12 – Fukada Kyoko13 – Kitagawa Keiko14 – Aibu Saki15 – Inoue Mao16 – Mizukawa Asami17 – Kuroki Meisa18 – Ishihara Satomi18 – Shida Mirai20 – Karina 21 – Yoshitaka Yuriko22 – Eikura Nana23 – Itou Misaki23 – Kanjiya Shihori25 – Kato Ai26 – Kaho27 – Kashii Yuu28 – Kitano Kie29 – Hoshino Mari30 – Yamada Yuu
