^Thanks YKT for the info! It is very brave for the managers to decided to have to expose themselves to public fandom opinions. There's always the possibility that they can get massive vote of no-confidence, & that can be rather embarrassing. This is a good development thou, as it might allow some fan input. Curious as I am, I did a tally of how's the vote going so far.
Name | New Position | Former Position | Vote For | Vote Against | For/Against % |
Togasaki Tomonobu | General Theatre Manager for all 48 Groups | AKB Theatre Manager | 5,773 | 424 | 93.16%/6.84% |
Yuasa Hiroshi | AKB Theatre Manager | SKE Theater Manager | 2,142 | 4,022 | 34.75%/65.25% |
Shiba Tomoya | SKE Theater Manager | Team K Chief Manager | 2,700 | 3,559 | 43.14%/56.86% |
Kaneko Tsuyoshi | NMB Theater manager | NMB Theater manager | 4,767 | 524 | 90.09%/9.91% |
Ozaki Mitsuru | HKT Theater Manager | Unknown | 4,561 | 472 | 90.62%/9.38% |
Interesting numbers, other than SKE-related managers, everyone received a ringing endorsement of confidence. Is it possible that SKE's non-confidence votes are due to Rie replacing Churi maybe? I think I will update it if possible when the vote is over.
