If Acchan participates in the election, my prediction for the top 5:
1.
Atsuko - She will win by a huge margin over the No.2 girl. Acchan fans will want to send her off in glory.
2.
Yuko - Who else can beat this charismatic girl other than Acchan?
3.
Yuki - As much as I want Mayuyu to rise and take the 3rd spot, I can't deny the fact that Yukirin seems to have more fans.
4.
Mayu - Cyborg Girl has had lots of exposure recently and is proving to be worthy of the push she's getting. I'm sure she wouldn't mind much about losing to Yuki. Those two are too supportive of each other
5.
Mariko - I believe she's still hugely popular in Japan so she'll stay in Top 5.
*
Takamina may squeeze into the No.5 spot if AKB48 fans decide to show that they will still support the group despite Acchan's graduation by giving their votes to leader Takamina.
If Acchan
doesn't participate in the election, my prediction for the top 10:
1.
Yuko2.
Yuki3.
Mayu - I really want Mayuyu to get into Top 3 again and I believe she's capable of that.
4.
Takamina - Acchan's fans may switch to supporting Takamina who is closest to Acchan.
5.
Mariko6.
Sasshi7.
Haruna8.
Tomomi (Itano)9.
Rena10.
Jurina - Everyone can see how hard she's working and how much love she has for her job and SKE48. She should be able to get into Top 10 again.
