I just realized I have no idea who to vote for
- Rena: Obvious choice, but doesn't really "need" my support to get a good spot
- Yuki: She'll do fine as well, but since there's a slim chance she might get #1 it may be extra fun to vote for her
- Kasai: Out of my favs, she probably needs the vote te hardest... on the other hand, a high under girls spot may be more beneficial than the last senbatsu spot...
- Yui: let the rise begin!
- Underdogs are fun to vote for as well, because each vote is that much more important to them. I mean, for Yuki there's probably little difference between 28000 or 30000 votes, whereas for Shihorin the difference between 1000 and 1200 votes may be crucial.
CHOICES. Have you peepz decided yet?
Let's see, 64 spots available...
・SKE48: Rena, Jurina, Masana, Akarin, Shawako + hoping for Kumi, Anna and Kanon probably have a shot too.. maybe even more = ~8
・NMB48: Sayaka, Milky + maybe Jo? Nana? Ayame? Others?= ~5?
・HKT48: Kodama Haruka for sure and possibly Sugamoto Yuko and Natsumi Matsuoka = ~3
Really rough estimate, but that means 25% of the spots will be filled by 00048, leaving around 48 spots for AKB48...
Actually, that may a bit much, I doubt girls like Sugamoto Yuko and Natsumi Matsuoka can make it. I think the HKT crowd may do what the NMB crowd did last year: focus on one girl to ensure her participation. I'm guessing between 18% & 24% to be taken up by girls from the other groups.
That means around 35~40 girls from AKB48 won't make it in. Must be pretty painful for the non-KKS among them if they don't make it
