Aiba Masaki & Kuroki Meisa win Best Jeanist Award 2012

The award presentation ceremony for the 29th Best Jeanist Award 2012 was held on 4 October where Arashi's Aiba Masaki and Kuroki Meisa were crowned Best Jeanist for the second year in a row in the public voting category. Aiba commented that he was very happy to win this again and hoped to achieve a third award next year so that he could enter the list of legendary jeanists. As for Kuroki, she was unable to attend the event as she had just given birth to her daughter on 23 September but she expressed her happiness at receiving the award through the organisers. As for the judges choice, talent Rola, actress Natsuki Mari, actor Iura Arata and Olympic fencing gold medalist Murata Ryota were chosen to receive the award.

*The rule in the past was that someone would become a legendary jeanist only after winning the award for 5 years but it has been changed from this year onwards that one would qualify for this after winning it for 3 years. Maybe it's because the organisers want to have new faces on a more regular basis than to have people hog the top spot for 5 years?
