Actress Emi Takei, 19, is this year's TV commercial queen, having appeared in ads for 17 companies. Takei's ads included campaigns for Aeon, Lotte, Seiko and the Japanese Red Cross Society, broadcast monitoring company Nihon Monitor said on its website.
Takei dethroned former AKB48 singers Tomomi Itano and Mariko Shinoda who shared the No. 1 spot in 2012.
Takei was followed by Shinoda (ads for 15 companies), Rola (14), Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Ayame Goriki (12 each).
Golfer Ryo Ishikawa, 22, topped the men's list, hawking products for 12 companies including Asahi Beer and Dunlop. He was followed by actor Osamu Mukai (11) and SMAP and Arashi singer Sho Sakurai (10).

I had to Google her and that other woman mentioned by Shinhiyata. Sorry Shin, Takei is much hotter. Her 20th birthday is on Christmas and I'd love to sing "Happy Birthday" in person to her.

Emi is TOOOOOO cute. However, this is a terrible picture of her.

It's obvious for the last few years he has stopped even trying to fulfill his potential as a golfer and has settled for being a golf tarento. Such a shame and waste of talent and I fear that in time he will be dropped by the Japanese media as the next flavour of the month comes along, he will regret that he didn't even really try to become the sportsman he could have.

She is pretty, simple, and sweet, i like her i always watching her drama .... i like Goriki too her beauty really sophisticated, 'cept AKB look garbage for me .....

Not my favorite, but much, MUCH better than Goriki. Cannot stand that woman. Kyary is better than her. At least my girl Shinoda is still up there.

I like Emi and enjoyed the dramas I've seen her in. She's cute and seems like a down-to-earth kinda gal. I recall from one variety show she admits she oftentimes goes to yakiniku places just by herself. Between her and Kitagawa Keiko, though, would be hard to choose.

she's alright. as with most of them. too bad they just go back to the recycled bin with a typical you know what….or a guy who looks like he is from one direction. but no...not me. no.. would never go back with me to my country. All programmed.

She's not that hot. Certainly not nearly as hot as Ayame Goriki. I want to see Goriki everywhere I go. Much more Goriki !
