BIG NEWS!!!!LULZ, assuming that she didn't just use some program on her phone (or assuming she just cannot do it that well), Mariko did a terrible job of photoshopping her face onto the the pic of Mariyagi submitting her candicacy.
Mariko just signed up for this year's sousenkyo!!!!

Sucks.....if it ends this way, I'm completely done....no regrets. There won't be much about the group that appeals to me.
Basically yes....I'll explain and thx friend for asking.
One of the key cornerstones of the group is the "idols you can meet" concept. Therefore, fan involvement sets the group apart from other groups. So the senbatsu voting determines who I would watch in the various music videos, another cornerstone of the group. Milky's pretty obviously my oshi....therefore there's a good segment of the current senbatsu that I absolutely can't stand, four in particular...2 of which are probably in the group "most popular overall". I hate watching SKE48 vids cuz I have to watch them from beginning to end and only watch glances from the rest. As a result, the group altogether is less appealing....tough to be a fan when your fav is on the outside looking in, those one doesn't like are at the top and those I don't like are front and center in all video/TV appearances. Just learned today that NMB48, either by design or otherwise, is a bit different from the rest....another whammo.
So with that said, it's not that tough to shut it down especially with new, up and coming artists blowing up right now. ELT, Hikki, MoMusu, Ikimono Gakari all were at the top of the list at some point, but have fallen in my eyes....AKB48 group will eventually as well, it's a matter of when, not if.
ooo yea. Yukirin is hungry for no.1. 8)
And unlike all previous years, I actually think she has a shot. Hey, it might be her last run at it, so go get a good spot Yukirin! :heart: :heart: :heart:
I thinking of a prediction thread too... if possible :jphip:

I think Mayuyu is hurt by releasing her single during the election time. Fans have to divert money from voting to buying her single.
The different between 3 and 2 is only around 1400 votes.
