Calender picking progress:
*sees list* --> *filter out members I don't really like or who are too young* --> That leaves:
Maeda Atsuko
Itano Tomomi
Kojima Haruna
Kasai Tomomi
Kitahara Rie
Sato Amina
Sashihara Rino
*make a list or pros and cons*
Maeda Atsuko: Can't go wrong with Acchan, but getting her calendar wouldn't be special either. Everybody likes Acchan.
Itano Tomomi: I have my periods of Tomochin fandom, but what about the days I can't stand her? lol
Kojima Haruna: Last year's calendar was like 7 times the same sort of pic...
Kasai Tomomi: My highest ranked girl to get a solo calendar, but her previous calendar was really weak... She tends to try too hard sometimes.
Kitahara Rie: Interesting choice. She has been looking great lately.
Sato Amina: Another interesting choice. Girl next door vibe.
Sashihara Rino: Another top favorite who's been looking amazing lately. Her calendar should be interesting because it can go in any direction; fun, wota, adult-looking, cute, etc.
Then there is another problem. Some of the Idoling girls (Tonooka) and other Gravure idols (Ogura, etc) are releasing calendars too! That just complicates things even further. I comfess I have never bought an AKB calendar
This year I got Ostuka Ai's and the year before that Tonooka Erica...
So yeah, I'll probably end up buying Myao's or Mayu's

Cut some more options, only 4 left! (and Tonooka lol)
