On May 16th, actress Ueto Aya attended Tiffany & Co.’s 175th anniversary party, LEGENDARY FOR 175 YEARS.

The actress wore a necklace and ring totaling over one hundred million yen as well as a beautiful blue dress to the event. “It’s such an honor. My heart is pounding. I’d love to be a woman who can put [jewelry like this] on of my own accord,” she commented.

“Before I even realized it, I’ll be turning 27 this year, so I wonder if I’m at the age where expensive jewelry suits me,” said Ueto. She also sweetly remarked that she wants to buy jewelry to match with her mother one day. “Generally they’re for couples and such, but I’ve thought about picking out and buying jewelry with my mother so that it can be something with deep meaning for us,” she told the press.

At the event, actress Dan Rei also made an appearance wearing a green dress and a bracelet with 1,560 separate diamonds attached. “My heart’s fluttering, like it’s dancing or something,” the actress said earnestly. “I can feel its profound importance, and the history [behind the company].”

At the party, some of Tiffany’s most prized jewels from their main shop in New York were put on display, including the world’s largest yellow diamond (which rarely leaves the headquarters store). Actress Manda Hisako, models SHIHO, Tomioka Yoshiko, and Chinese actress Zhang Jingchu also appeared at the event.

Thermae Romae‘ is not giving away its first place, not even with the risk of getting cursed by Sadako.
It seems like people still can’t get enough of ‘Thermae Romae‘ as they helped it defend 1st place against the evil yet beautiful Sadako from ‘Sadako 3D‘. The comedy was seen by 264,566 people over the weekend and grossed another 363,750,350 Yen (4.54 million Yen). Adding the weekdays and the previous nine days, ‘Thermae Romae’ is currently standing at a total of 2,322,567 viewers and a cumulative revenue of 2,959,973,150 Yen (36.96 million USD) 16 days after its opening day. If it continues to maintain its current level of popularity, it’s most likely that it will become the most successful movie in Japan in the first half of 2012.

Sadako 3D‘, starring Ishihara Satomi, Seto Koji, Yamamoto Yusuke, and Hashimoto Ai, opened in 2nd place with 154,148 viewers (214 screens), which is a very good start for the 3D horror movie. Over the weekend, it grossed 246,414,100 Yen (3.08 million USD).

With the success of ‘Sadako 3D’, ‘Uchuu Kyodai‘ naturally had to step down one rank. After nine days it attracted 579,692 viewers and grossed 763,847,100 Yen, which means that the 1,000,000,000 Yen (12.49 million USD) record should be broken next weekend. ‘Meitantei Conan‘ moved to 4th place. Its cumulative result after 30 days at the box office is 2,505,386 viewers and a revenue of 2,975,049,400 Yen (37.15 million USD).

In 5th place was Tom Hanks‘ new movie ‘Larry Crowne‘, which was seen by 77,677 people and grossed 95,959,300 Yen (1.2 million USD) over the weekend. It’s also the only non-Japanese movie left in the top ten on the box office chart.

TV commercials are one of the best ‘popularity barometers’ for celebrities in Japan. However, it’s not just the amount of CM contracts nor the amount of exposure that differentiates a CM Queen (or king) from a ‘normal’ female celebrity, it’s the fee they get paid per CM.

Tabloid ‘Shukan Post‘ once again managed to obtain the top secret list that showed how much celebrities are getting paid per CM contract. Naturally, you have to have a certain degree of popularity and an almost flawless image in order to get corporations to invest that much money into the celebrity to represent their brand.

One female celebrity that plowed through the top ranking by increasing her fee more than threefold is none other than child actress Ashida Mana. Last year she ‘only’ received an estimated fee of 20,000,000 Yen ($250,720 USD) per CM, but as of right now she’s already commanding 65,000,000 Yen ($814,840 USD) per CM.

Industry insiders explained that companies are willing to pay her that much, because they can use her to appeal to the two big target groups of children and their mothers. Moreover they won’t have to be concerned about her getting involved in some kind of scandal for many more years to come. Her incredible professionalism that even awes veteran actresses in their forties is the icing on the cake.

Other young talents that at least doubled their CM fees compared to last year are Takei Emi, Gouriki Ayame, and Kutsuna Shiori. Takei improved from 18,000,000 Yen ($225,648 USD) to 38,000,000 Yen ($476,368 USD), Gouriki from 12,000,000 Yen ($150,432 USD) to 24,000,000 Yen ($300,864 USD), and Kutsuna from 10,000,000 Yen ($125,360 USD) to 24,000,000 Yen ($300,864 USD). With this they are the representatives of the up-and-coming actresses in Japan right now.

The two AKB48 members Oshima Yuko (+20,000,000 Yen) and Maeda Atsuko (+20,000,000 Yen) also climbed up the ranking.

However, even well-established CM image celebrities managed to negotiate higher fees thanks to a successful and scandal-free year, including Ueto Aya (+17,000,000 Yen), Anne (+10,000,000 Yen), Ishihara Satomi (+5,000,000 Yen), Sasaki Nozomi (+5,000,000 Yen), and others.

In Ueto’s case it’s somewhat surprising that the whole love and marriage rumors with EXILE’s HIRO didn’t decrease her estimated fee.

Of course, when there are women who climb up the ranking, there’s also have women that lost some market value compared to last year. Ayase Haruka surprisingly is among the latter with a drop of 7,000,000 Yen from 65,000,000 Yen ($814,840 USD) down to 58,000,000 Yen ($727,088 USD), despite her clean slate.
The biggest loser by a wide margin seems to be Miyazaki Aoi who fell from a great second position with 67,000,000 Yen ($839,912 USD) down to an ordinary level of 37,000,000 Yen ($463,832 USD). According to an advertisement firm, this drop is directly related to all the Twitter drama that has been going on with her ex-husband Takaoka Sosuke.

At first, the divorce was actually expected to boost her market value, but then he publicly accused her of adultery, which damaged her pure and innocent image. “However, people still respect her and her acting skills, so she shouldn’t fall down any lower than that,” they said.
You can check out the top ten below, but always remember to take these numbers with a grain of salt.
