My thoughts: fun as always, and some great results:
Natsumi Matsubara - Yes!!!- this is one of the two HUGE highlights for me, Natsumi making the best 16- way to go girl!
Yuki Kashiwagi- the look of excitement on her face tells the story of how happy she was- me too!
Kasumi Ueno- Great result- SKE member who does not get a lot of attention, now we fans can learn more about her
Chisato Nakata- She has had some nice results lately, and here is another!!
Ami Maeda- The sweetheart of sweethearts- glad to see her anytime, anywhere....
Ayaka Umeda- Ayaka is turning out to be the David of AKB48- the giant slayer! Glad to see her in the top 16!
Kanon Kimoto - Another SKE member...good job Kanon!!
Tomomi Itano- Much like Yuki Kashiwagi, Tomomi is so busy, that maybe this tournament does not mean much to her..........But it does, she was thrilled to make it, and I am thrilled to see her on the team.
Mariko Nakamura- Old time Team 4- represent!!
Miyu Takeuchi- Team 4- all for one, and one for all!
Maria Abe- Her costume was beautiful- hope to see more of her in the upcoming single and in the future
Mariko Shinoda- She was so good in Ue Kara Mariko, and you know she will bring her A game to this single as well.
Mayumi Uchida- Her victory two years ago is what completely got me hooked on the Janken competition in the first place Mayumi is rock solid!
Yui Yokoyama- Love to see her in any single!!!
Moeno Nito- Girl's on fire-This was the second HUGE moment for me- seeing her get in top two!!!!
Haruka Shimazaki- I do not think this contest was rigged........Congratulations to Haruka!!
