What people said
What an oddly weak catchphrase to get saddled with.
Probably Kanna Hashimoto, I'd guess.
By the way, the perennial also-ran for this title is AKB48's Yui Oguri.
I think the "first one," Kanna Hashimoto, is fairly well known.
First I've heard of it…
Never heard of the AKB one either.
Realistically, Kanna Hashimoto has this kind of nickname all locked up.
Plenty of others got slapped with similar catchphrases afterward, but almost none of them stuck in anyone's memory.
I passed like 50 girls who looked just like that on my way to the supermarket earlier to buy croquettes.
(⑉⊙ȏ⊙)
Even that's an exaggeration.
More like third-cutest in her class, tops.
She was a longtime assistant on a TVK music show — the successor to "Sakusaku," the show Kaela Kimura used to host.
She's the girl who appeared in the commercial for the opening of the Harry Potter area at USJ (Universal Studios Japan).
She's the one who was dancing like crazy in that Amazon commercial.
If Kanazaki ties the knot next, maybe Yuma Suzuki can finally get married too.
The trash media (マスゴミ, a jab combining "mass media" and "garbage") is seriously underrating the J.League and Kashima Antlers.
Nobody outside Kanagawa Prefecture has ever even seen that show.
She had a fairly important role in the Sentai show "Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger."
Is she prepared to follow him around to some regional J2/J3 club?
He's already retired.
Isn't Nishi living in America these days? That's why he was reporting from over there during the recent World Cup.
Not sure where he actually lives, but I recall him saying the place was just something a few of them rented together for the World Cup period.
And it sounded like the World Cup was just a stop along a round-the-world trip anyway.
A world tour before getting married—must be nice, having money.
Background and Discussion Points
The phrase “the most beautiful girl born once every X years” is a promotional catchphrase often used in the entertainment industry, not necessarily based on any official survey or statistic. The thread saw reactions like “never heard of it” and “no idea what the criteria even are,” highlighting how differently people react to this kind of tagline. At the same time, Kanna Hashimoto’s name came up repeatedly as the precedent, since she’s the example that stuck most widely among similar nicknames — with commenters noting that most people given the same label afterward are barely remembered. The article confirms Nishi has already retired from active play, but where the couple will be based and what their lifestyle will look like after marriage can’t be determined from Kamura’s announcement, so that remains speculation from the thread rather than confirmed fact.
