First revoking the transfer to NMB now no participation in the Sousenkyo I foresee a graduation that I don't approve.

Well its kind of expected, since she doesn't really have a standing anymore in the group. All the focus is on her kouhai, and she isn't a kami7 like her Mayuyu and Yukirin.

Being in the background isn't really interesting to anyone…

Miho is in the Sousenkyo, but I don't wanna bet too much on her making a great return though looking at the strong contender for UG/NG spots despite the huge amount of graduations…. 

18 -> 21 -> 27 -> 38 -> n.a 

Hmm…

hehe, I know... #FanboyDreams


I'm just glad/surprised she's still around even if it's only for so long... Seeing stuff like this makes me so happy:

Well its not exactly rocket science since Mayuyu, Rabutan…etc are still around and is still fairly young. 

But I reckon it would be best for her to push for her own future soon enough, AKB48 doesn't really have a place for her.

yeah but Mayuyu and Rabutan had things to give their respective careers boosts (Mayuyu as a contender for Center and Rabutan's transfer to HKT) where as Miho has always lived solely and only as an AKB member. Young age isn't really relevant here since that's just a perk of the Japanese entertainment industry.


Definitely. I wonder if she has anything in mind...

Mayuyu is definitely out of the discussion context here.

But for Rabutan, her transfer to Hakata was massively overshadow by the rise of Sashihara Rino and the appointment of the 2nd youngest Group Ace in 48G history after Jurina, and the battle for front row between the Kami 4. 

When we talk about Hakata, Rabutan is never the first or second…or tenth… things coming to mind...

But yeah, Miho could have requested for transfer to sister groups if she have such notion, but I reckon she have different plans…

This prelim result aside from boring is plenty of changes to come. Even the senbatsu itself is crazy, really aside from have Haruppi and Madoka which is already unlikely, they have kaotan… yeah right…. no wondered sales is so poor this year.

The newspaper predictions have been fairly precise. 

I mean it's only day1 but the hate is alrdy starting to flow everywhere. Salty Mayu fans are pissed not being able to keep up with the stellar level of Sasshi. 


Madoka had a nice 1st day result in 2013 as well but wasn't ranked in the end. Nothing is for certain especially not this year. But surely some more HKT girls gonna be ranked. (The prelims feature twice as much HKT members as last year).

Surprised to see Miru, Shuu ranked while Fuuchan, Akarin aren't in the prelim top80. 

Aoi, Captain, Rikopi, Piichan with ridiculously good (for their standards) prelim results while Murashige who's always featured in HKT's senbatsu & shows not being ranked at all.

Ayachan still keeping up with her result of last year yay.




I wonder how Juri, Rinacchi are able to outrank Annin, Kawaei. 

Or girls who are basically unknown for the majority of the fandom (Nakkii - 3,3k, Naopon 3.7k, Rikopi 5k) are able to have such a respectable amount of votes. But then this might already be the majority of their total votes. ^^

Well… there isn't even a question of who will win the 6th Sousenkyo from the start. Its almost as good as a called result with Sasshi setting the record for the first member to get back to back victory.

The gap is 50K, not even the most delulu of WOTA will think anyone aside from Yuko/Acchan is able to keep Sasshi from the throne. 

The new Kami7 and Senbatsu is more on the topic. 

And no, Haruppi even with the crazy amount of delulu WOTA (aka ch3mist-san ) will think she is best representation for 48G and HKT48… while Sakuratan, Meru get some side show instead...

Aya is forever rigged to this no.8 prelim position… 

Based on the current group demography, Namba should be getting in more members than prelim results. 

Oh well the prelim is just a showcase of the amount of votes coming from mostly all the groups' mobile subscribers, LOD subscribers and OFC members.

The main bulk of the votes (CD) have yet to take effect. 


All my focus for the Sousenkyo is just the following….

1. Will Jurina upset Mayuyu to her no.3 spot again?

2. Will Yui make it into the new Kami7?

3. Will Yuria make it into her first Sousenkyo senbatsu?

4. Will I get to see the downfall of miss 不愉快… and see Sakurtan and Meru topping her.

5. Who will be the top Tentoumu Chu! ?

Who is the winner is just as good as asking me if the Sun will rise from the east again tomorrow.

No need to drag Haruppi in this.   I'd have always chosen Sakura as face of HKT and despite the prelim result Sakura will come out of top no matter what. 

People interpreting too much in the prelims. There is no way Fuuchan/Akarin wouldn't rank in the final Sousenkyo. I wonder how those slight rivalries will turn out, especially if Jurina manages to surpass Mayuyu. That would be fun although I don't bother with their rank. 

What do you think about Mio vs Meru ranks?

No choice, she is 不愉快 in HKT48 color… but I admit after watching 2 LOD of K6R, I like her persona in Team K, its more enjoyable and believable.

Bah, Meru will be the face of HKT… 


Namba is known for their slow start, yes although FuuFuu and Yoshida have not been bathing in the spotlight for much of the past year, but they still have respectable standing in Namba. That will gather them enough votes to rank in, maybe not high though.

I don't mind Jurina surpass Mayuyu, at least Jurina still have years and potential to grow, Mayuyu is already past her peak and she is forever behind Acchan/Yuko and now Sasshi. 


Do you really still need to ask that? Meru is now closing in on Sakuratan as being the popularity queen, she have past Mio's rapport level quite awhile ago. And I don't think Mio have that much deep pocket hardcore WOTA, and she will not be able to get the general votes coming from Hakata oshi. That apart from going to Sasshi, the remainder will mostly goes to their Immovable Ace Meru for her to close the gap to Jurina, Sayanee who is already fixed Sousenkyo Senbatsu.

I thought you were going to ask about Mako vs Nana 

[cakama]

Yatta~~ 

Just casted my first ever Sousenkyo vote...



Still have one more vote…. not sure how to use it yet….

Meru, Yuria or Yui again…

I'm not talking about Meru's ace position that's fixed but ever since NakoMiku joined there isn't much talk about Meru, only Nakomiku and Sakura's potential for the Sousenkyo. 

Sadly there's a clear pecking order among the musketeers, nobody will compete with Mako for now.

NakoMiku is still too new for any impact in the Sousenkyo…. Sakuratan is kawaii but high UG will be her limit….

Yeah… my Mako-hime 


Sounds promising…. just worried about Yui's Kami7 positioning.
