Many have considered the Best actress nominees at the 35th Japan Academy Prize to be one of the strongest and most competitive - Rie Miyazawa won for Pale Moon, but Chizuru Ikewaki (The Light Shines Only There), Mao Inoue (Snow White Murder Case), Fumi Nikaido (My Man) and Sakura Ando (0.5 Mm) gave award-winning performances too. Except for Miyazawa, the actresses mentioned are part of the 2015 Best Actresses hitlist.

Here's the racap of last year, culminating in the launch of the 2015 edition...

Fumi Nikaido's well-rounded acting credential proved she is Japan's best actress, among others. Four of her most recent movies (My Man, Hibi Rock, The World of Kanako and Au revoir l' ete) are varied and enough to offer Nikaido with the challenge to come up with performances worthy of awards and acclaim. Which is what actually happened, as she got a Best Actress nom for My Man. Two or three years ago, only a few J-movie/drama watchers knew her or familiar with her work, but after Sono's Himizu, Nikaido has nowhere to go but up!

In the same case, Sakura Ando's latest projects kept her on "acclaim" mode, winning Best Actress trophies and beating Miyazawa (the recipient of Best Actress at Japan Academy Prize). I am also aware that many of our visitors and even friends are not familiar with Ando. But if you're interested, you may want to look up these titles - Homeland, For Love's Sake and Love Exposure.

Mao Inoue's Snow White Murder Case and Chizuru Ikewaki's The Light Shines Only There remain my favorite performances for 2014.

Special mention also goes to: Anne Watanabe-Higashide, Masami Nagasawa, Erika Toda, Mirei Kiritani and Kou Shibasaki.
The first installment of our hitlist (Most Promising Japanese Actresses) can be viewed here.

How about you? Do you have any particular favorites included in the list or you have some other names you wish to say they deserve being called Japan's best actress? Let us know what you think!

[BJBHB E-BUZZ] JAPAN'S BEST ACTORS TOP 15 (2015 EDITION)

Not all actors are created equal - this remains to be true and while we are in our 4th year ranking the hottest young talents in Japan - the same criteria apply. We look for versatility, we search for actors who are fearless and who doesn't give a damn about image and what remains important in their careers is the challenge to take on difficult yet fulfilling roles.

You may be surprised to find out that Satoshi Tsumabuki, Ryuhei Matsuda, Shun Oguri and their peers are no longer listed, it goes without saying that they are at a stage in their careers where they have already proven themselves. Also, what we have now are the young actors grabbing the most high-profile movie and drama roles. Let me see if you agree...

Pernah tengok drama Alice no Toge? Aoi ialah salah seorang pelakon drama ni. Antara pelakon utama sebab selalu muncul dalam scene yang ada Ueno Juri. He's cute! ^^


 Pertama kali tengok Masahiro masa filem Parasyte Part1. Lakonan yang best dalam filem tu. Selain tu, dia pernah berlakon dalam filem Ao Haru Ride (manga ni memang popular) dan Kirishima, Bukatsu Yameru tte yo (The Kirishima Thing).


 Admin selalu dengar pelakon ni, tapi tak pernah lagi tengok mana-mana drama/filem lakonannya. Mungkin admin akan mula dengan filem All-Round Appraiser Q: The Eyes of Mona Lisa.


Admin baru lihat lakonan N. Kento dalam drama Gomen ne Seishun! Menarik!


Admin selalu nampak Kento (yes, another Kento) berlakon dalam drama (tetapi selalunya watak tambahan). Oh, ya contohnya drama Shinigami kun :D


Siapa yang tak kenal dengan Takeru??? Paling best watak dia dalam trilogi Rurouni Kenshin. Bukan sahaja popular di Jepun, malah di luar Jepun. (Tak sabar nak tengok filem baru Takeru, Bakuman bersama Ryosuke Kamiki) dan Sekai kara Neko ga Kieta nara (bersama MiyazakiAoi) >_<


Seorang lagi pelakon yang tak asing lagi di kalangan peminat filem dan drama Jepun. Kanata memang terkenal dengan wataknya yang serius. Lakonan Kanata dalam GANTZ memang one of the best. Lakonannya dalam Mysterious Transfer Student juga mendapat review yang bagus. Kita tunggu pula lakonan Hongo dalam Attack on Titan.


Seriously, baru kenal beliau bila Death Note umumkan drama live action. -__- Tapi Masataka dah banyak berlakon filem dan drama (kenapa saya baru tau ni?) Ada review menyatakan watak beliau dalam Flowers for Algernon adalah sangat best! 


Salah seorang pelakon Jepun yang memang "jambu". Terkenal dengan filem beliau, I Give My First Love to You. 


Kengo pernah menerima anugerah "Yujiro Ishihara New Artist Award" pada tahun 2010 sempena 23rd Nikkan Sports Film Awards


Suda Masaki juga ialah salah seorang pelakon kegemaran admin. Mula mengenali Masaki semasa bergandingan dengan Ohno Satoshi  dalam drama Shinigami-kun, Lakonan beliau dalam filem terbaru Assassination Classroom amat dinanti-nantikan.


Pelakon kegemaran ramai (dan admin juga). Mula berlakon sejak kecil dan sering menjadi seiyuu untuk filem Studio Ghibli, Ryunosuke memang serba boleh! Filem lakonannya yang wajib ditonton semestinya Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno dan Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends. Drama pula: Kazoku Game, SPEC~First Blood dan Gakko no Kaidan.


Pelakon ini telah memenangi anugerah "Best Supporting Actor" ("Pale Moon"/"Our Family") - 2015 (36th) di Yokohama Film Festival. 



Admin memang cukup meminati Yuya sebagai pelakon yang berkaliber. Lakonan serius dalam Nobunaga Concerto dan perubahan mendadak wataknya dalam drama Aoi Honoo (sangat kelakar), menjadikan Yuya salah seorang pelakon Jepun yang admin akan sentisa ikuti,


Admin memang selalu nampak review tentang pelakon berkarisma dan berbakat ni. Setahu admin, Shota pernah berlakon dalam pelbagai genre (tetapi selalunya genre berat). Parasyte adalah salah satu filem lakonannya yang admin pernah lihat. Pernah menerima Rookie of the Year - 2013 (36th) Japan Academy Prize, sudah tentulah Shota sentiasa menjadi rebutan pengarah filem Jepun!


Shota Sometani, Yuya Yagira and Sosuke Ikematsu are in the stage of their acting careers where prestige roles matter to a great extent. Among the three, it was Sometani who has achieved full circle - from playing important critically acclaimed roles to grabbing movie projects aimed at the box office. But when it comes to prestige roles, no one can compare to Yagira.

Ryunosuke Kamiki is also at the stage in his career where he needs to take on the lead role, and I would say, it's just a matter of time.

Masaki Suda is the dark horse - he may even overtake the others - which remains to be seen in the next few months! Fearless prediction? You may say that, but having seen Suda in a good number of movies and drama, I think he is one fearless, talented actor!

How about you? Who do you think is the hottest Japanese actor around? Let us know what you think!
