The Most Desired Celebrity Driving Companions for 2023

In a recent survey conducted by Park 24 Co., Ltd., well-known celebrities that fans wish to take a road trip with have been revealed. For the second consecutive year, the popular group Snow Man has claimed the top spot. This survey was targeted at the members of Times Club, a driver-centric membership service offered by the company.

Survey Highlights

1. Snow Man retains the top position as the celebrity fans want to drive with, receiving 54 votes, followed by Arashi in second and Mrs. GREEN APPLE in third.
2. Ayase Haruka is the top choice among male voters, while female voters predominantly chose Snow Man.
3. Takuya Kimura has been recognized as the celebrity who seems best at parking, maintaining his first place position for four years running.

Park 24 releases survey results on car-related topics each month, and the latest results from the “Cars and Celebrities” survey are noteworthy.

Fans' Favorite Driving Partners

Snow Man has once again been chosen by fans as the ideal driving companion, achieving 54 votes. The top three positions are the same as last year, with Arashi in second place and Mrs. GREEN APPLE in third. Interestingly, actress Mione Imada has made her debut in the top ten, landing in seventh place.

Since the survey commenced in 2014, it's notable that Arashi has consistently ranked in the top ten for all ten surveys, followed by Haruka Ayase with eight times and Yo Oizumi with seven rankings.

Reasons for Choosing Driving Companions

The primary reason fans wish to drive with these celebrities is their appeal, with 61.7% expressing that they are fans of these stars. The following reasons include wanting a fun experience at 53.8% and desiring a cool, cute, or beautiful driving partner at 26.8%. Among the top ten, notably, the majority supporters of Snow Man, Mrs. GREEN APPLE, Yo Oizumi, and Mione Imada stated that their choice was due to how fun these celebrities would be to travel with.

Distinct Choices by Gender

When the choices were segmented by gender, the results showcased interesting contrasts. Ayase Haruka topped the male votes, while Snow Man continued to dominate the female votes. This marked a complete reshuffle in the top three for male voters, as they favored more female actors this year. Meanwhile, female voters repeated last year's trend by placing Snow Man at the top and Mrs. GREEN APPLE in second.

Who Seems Good at Parking?

In the parking prowess category, Takuya Kimura continued to shine, being recognized as the best for four consecutive years, with George Tokoro following in second place. Remarkably, both Kimura and Tokoro have ranked within the top two positions in all ten surveys conducted so far, solidifying their reputation as skilled parkers.

For this survey, first-time ranking entries included Ryohei Suzuki at seventh and Shohei Nagata from Chocolate Planet at tenth. Their appearances in various car advertisements and entertainment shows may have contributed to their recognition.

This year's top three choices for driving companions mirror last year’s rankings, showcasing several celebrities’ consistent presence in the polls. The minimal change in rankings indicates that fans have strong connections with their favorite stars, often wishing to enjoy a road trip together.

As the festive season approaches, filled with beautiful illuminations, consider inviting your family, friends, or loved ones to enjoy a drive together. It's a fantastic way to create lasting memories on the road with those who bring you joy.
