Oricon: ideal new co-worker

[gensan]

With springtime meaning lots of fresh graduates entering companies for the first time, Oricon conducted a survey of 20- to 40-year-olds, asking them which famous person they would like to have as their new co-worker. Sho Sakurai of Arashi and talento Becky took the top spots in the men's and women's rankings, respectively.

For the male rankings, one female stated that Sakurai "thinks quickly and seems like the type to remember things about work quickly." Working as a newscaster for NTV's "NEWS ZERO," Sakurai has gained a lot of attention for his opinions. In the survey, he was followed by Teppei Koike of the duo WaT and pro golfer Ryo Ishikawa.

Among the women, Becky's regular TV appearances have given her a very cheerful image. Some of the survey takers described her as someone who can "read the situation at hand," and as someone "so lively and cheerful that it'd be a nice breath of fresh air to have her around in the company." Right behind her in the rankings were actresses Aya Ueto and Yui Aragaki.

i'd definitely like to work alongside sakurai. he seems really smart and able to control situations, which is really nice. i was surprised at a few of the other names, though i'm assuming quite a few are also university grads/students?

hahaha, looks like the ideal female coworker is cheerful? ; kind of stereotypical, but cute. i can imagine working with becky, sort of - it would make the day more interesting, that's for sure.
