Where to begin... What a glorious day.
No change? Sasshi will drop? I didn't think so!
Future Girls- Very happily surprised about Isohara Kyoka. Glad many people see her charm. Just put her in SKE48 senbatsu already!
- Mio and Meru lower than a lot of people predicted. I'm happy there's a massive gap between them and Sakura and Haruppi who's been working in HKT48 for much longer, and imo, are much better suited as two top.
- Glad Maachun, Sumire and Aamin made it. Sure higher would be nice, but they had no guarantee of even ranking.
- Shu as center is awesome. This will be a good moment to put herself on the map for good.
- Surprised about Kinchan. Haven't seen her in ages.
- Ranran's fishing techniques are much less effective than Akari/Milky's.
- Not sure about Nacchan. Don't really care tbh. Glad she's the only ex-member who ranked.
Next Girls- Great, Oba in the back.
- KobaAmi! She looked super pretty. Very happy she's in. Just put her in SKE48 senbatsu already! (X2)
- Fuuko still up and coming. Never really saw the hype, but she's definitely improving and looking better each year.
- Lovesan did what Myao failed to do. Re-invent her chara and rank. Props.
- Surprised about Saito Makiko... Not really my type, but good for her.
- Awyeah, Matsurina. Now that's a surprise! Just put her in SKE48 senbatsu already! (X3)
- Umemoto Madoka: Just put her in SKE48 senbatsu already! (X4)
- Kodama Haruka a tad lower than expected, but at least above the HKT KKS.
- Mocchi... Her single debut and election at the same time lead to 'poor' results in both. Stupid move by the management.
- Nagao: I don't get it.
- Amina ranking and making center is great. She's one of the cores of the theater and definitely undervalued.
Under Girls- Fujie ranking up is a surprise. Wonder why.
- Kanon ranking up. Wonder why.
- Iriyama the ice queen, lol dayum. Still undecided about her.
- Miyawaki Sakura claims her spot as the true HKT48 ace. Lower than expected, but miles ahead of her competition. Funny how the ultimate idol got the cursed Scandal spot.
- Kawaei Rina, opening up to her. If anyone needs be pimped as next gen ace it might as well be her.
- Kizaki Yuria struggling to gain positions... slightly worrying. She may have peaked already.
- Kitahara Rie, glad she dropped down. She doesn't deserve a top 16 spot based on her last year. She's negative, calculating and Magical Radio 3 sucked.
- Same goes for Aki. Bad career choice, bad attitude... I like her, but she's no top 16 member anymore.
- Minegishi Minami, same story. That YT stunt she pulled was ridiculous. it was selfish and it hurt the image of the group.
- Shibata Aya FUCK YES!!! Just put her in SKE48 senbatsu already! (x5)
Senbatsu- Fuck yes Akarin. Love her to death. Super awesome member in every single way. She deserves this so much.
- Sayaka beating Milky is surprising, honestly didn't think that would happen. All the more power to them, they're both great.
- Yui could have been higher if she would have been featured a bit more. Her Kyoto show is monthly and not that spectacular. Then again, Yui made it clear she doesn't aim for the center spot, so I think she's more than happy where she is now. Funny speech, as expected. lol
- Paruzaki... no surprise I guess. Unless her hardcore pimping continues she won't keep this up. I'd rather have Kawaei.
- Itano's era is over. She is ready to move on and I wish her the best.
- Mad props to Sae. What a gutsy decision. I was never really into her, but I respect her a lot.
- Haruna/Takamina: old gen still strong, but can't stop the fresh wind from blowing. Haruna seemed disappointed, but she could have seen this coming. - W Matsui in Kami 7 is just great. I don't even care J beat R. They're both amazing and I'm happy they're at the top now, together.
- Mariko grad sucks because it means there will no longer be a person in AKB older than I am. lol. Happy I got to see her last year, she was super humble and pretty. She got her own brand now, so it's time to move on.
- Yuki dropping is no real surprise. Solo career going strong. She'd doing fine.
- Mayu... tough one. I hoped she would have edged ahead of Yuko, but at times she just isn't as fresh as she used to be anymore. I doubt she'll ever be able to take #1 now. She's still a super idol, no doubt about that.
- Yuko... what to say. Playful speech was nice. And of course all the faces by everybody when her name popped up haha.
- Sasshi!!! Glorious. Justice. I seriously think a lot of people MASSIVELY underestimate Sashihara. She is on MANY tv shows all over the nation and always has good comments. She can joke about her chara, yet is still a total pro in everything she does. She put a diseased HKT48 back on the map, stronger than ever. She made the group into what they are today. Very, very happy about her being center. She is funny, entertaining, cute, sexy... everything an idol should be. She is more of the "yuko type idol" rather than a "mayu type idol" so in that sense, is it really that surprising she won? It's not. Luckily a lot of the fan's reactions have been positive as well. I think everybody was ready for change. Her victory is the perfect ending to a great sousenkyo.
