Everybody has it's own idea about teams. Some only care for their favorite girls, while others see the group as a whole. This will be a two part poll. This is part one! Purely based on the names in each group, which team is your favorite? Be sure to state why! Anything goes, really, as it's a very personal question. Part 2 of the poll will be held around November/December when we got to see the new teams in action! It'll be interesting to see if opinions got changed.
Once more, the new teams:
Team A
Takahashi Minami (Captain), Katayama Haruka (B), Kuramochi Asuka(K), Kojima Haruna, Sashihara Rino(B), Shinoda Mariko, Zuzuki Mariya [G], Takajyo Aki, Nakagawa Haruka (B), Nakata Chisato, Nakaya Sayaka (B), Maeda Atsuko, Maeda Ami [G], Matsubara Natsumi[K], Iwasa Misaki[G], Ota Aika (B), Oya Shizuka[G]

Team K
Akimoto Sayaka (Captain), Itano Tomomi [A], Uchida Mayumi [G], Umeda Ayaka, Oshima Yuko, Ono Erena, Kikuchi Ayaka [G], Kohara Haruka (B), Tanabe Miku (B), Nakatsuka Tomomi (B), Nito Moeno (B), Nonara Misato [G], Fujie Reina [A], Matsui Sakiko [G], Minegishi Minami [A], Miyazawa Sae, Yonezawa Rumi

Team B
Kashiwagi Yuki (Captain), Ishida Haruka, Oku Manami [K], Kasai Tomomi [K], Kitahara Rie [A], Kobayashi Kana [K], Komori Mika [G], Sato Amina [A], Sato Sumire [G], Sato Natsuki [K], Suzuki Shihori, Chirano Rina, Hirajima Natsumi, Masuda Yuka [K], Miyazaki Miho [A], Watanabe Mayu

P.S. For the sake of this 'study', the SKE and SDN teams are not included.
-
I won't vote just yet, I'll have a think on it a bit more but I think Team B might be my new favourite team :O
Why? I just think the girls will mix really well and I get see B songs keeping up a high standard.
-
I'll have to decide 'scientifically'... without names, it's something like:
Team A:
6 girls I really like
5 girls who are a nice addition
0 girl I dislike
Team K:
4 girls I really like
3 girls who are a nice addition
2 girls I dislike
Team B:
5 girls I really like + bonus points for KashiKasai combi
4 girls who are a nice addition
3 girls I dislike - points for being some of my most disliked members
So, for me it's team A by a landslide victory. Many of my favorites are here and none of my dislikes members. Second place goes to team B for having a nice core of top favorites. Third place for team K at the moment.
-
Members-wise, it'd still be Team K even though my favorite is now in A, but I'm not going to vote until I've seen the new teams perform together. Who I choose as my favorite team is based on music, too, so I wonder if the teams will still sing the same type of stuff. So who knows, my favorite team my change. =P (I doubt it, though. XD)
-
^We're doing a second vote when we've seen them perform!
This is to see if your choices match after seeing :D
(i just placed my team b vote)

Like Blu said, that's the whole point of this poll :) We vote now based on first impression and we vote again around December to see if anything has changed. So please put in your vote for K; the more votes we get, the more interesting the results.

Aight, I'ma get all scientific too! XD
Team A

Members I recognize without checking their pix: Takahashi Minami & Kuramochi Asuka
Members I'm not familiar with: Katayama Haruka, Sashihara Rino, Zuzuki Mariya, Takajyo Aki, Nakagawa Haruka, Nakata Chisato, Nakaya Sayaka, Maeda Ami, Matsubara Natsumi, Iwasa Misaki, Ota Aika, Oya Shizuka

Members I'm not familiar with: Uchida Mayumi, Umeda Ayaka, Kikuchi Ayaka, Kohara Haruka, Tanabe Miku, Nakatsuka Tomomi, Nito Moeno, Nonara Misato, Fujie Reina, Matsui Sakiko Yonezawa Rumi
Team B
Members I like: Kashiwagi Yuki & Kasai Tomomi

Team A is still my favorite because it has 3/5 of my favorite members. Team K ain't bad either and it definitely became more interesting thanks to Tomochin. I'm still not that interested in Team B, although it does have a couple of members I like.
-
Team A
Girls I'm not familiar with: Sashihara Rino, Nakata Chisato,
Team K
Girls I'm not familiar with: Nito Moeno
That hurt :P It's really hard to pimp these members who are great, but hardly get featured in anything.
Sasshi: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=20262.0 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=20262.0)
Moeno: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=20358.0 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=20358.0)
Chisato: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=20220.0 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=20220.0)
Even if there is a small clip on YT which features them, it gets taken down immediately :oops:
Still, you're getting along great, you already know 16 of them :thumbsup
edit: btw, it's already interesting! The previous poll showed Team K having the highest score, while they're falling behind now. This means Team K took the biggest hit.
-
I have a feeling that I'll probably end up liking Team K in the end because I can see them having a good stage somehow...
But yes I'd definitely say Team K took a huge hit.
-
I'm going to dissect them all and explain why I voted the way I did too!
New Team A
Girls I like: 4
Other Comments: I really dislike Acchan. She's fine in interviews and her personality is cute, but my desire to root for the underdogs means that I have to dislike her on principle. I don't get why she's so popular when (IMO) there are far prettier, more talented and generally more interesting and "idolish" girls in the group. Still, TakaMina will do well as captain (as if that means anything...), and Haruna is a good girl. I'm sad to see those two without Mii-chan though :(
New Team K
Girls I like: 6
Other Comments: I love Sayaka and Sae, so I'm thrilled they're staying together, and they suit team K music perfectly. The inclusion of Mii-chan suits team K, but I don't quite get Itano Tomomi here. I always thought her a solid A girl, but oh well! I'm sure she'll prove me wrong.
New Team B
Girls I like: 2
Other Comments: I'm interested to see how Kasai will fit into Team B's brand of songs. I think she'll be pretty damn good, but who knows! Some of the girls here I really do not know at all, Team B seems to bring out the stupid in me :(
I voted for Team K. They've been my most listened to stages recently, and I think it's well deserved. Let's hope they keep it up!
-
See favourites wise I could vote for either K or B but somehow for me Team B looks better as a whole(the variety of girls) and has the most original Team K members so looks like they'll have good spirit :D
(For reference my favourites are Erepyon, Yukirin, Sayaka, Rie and Mocchi)
that said someone over at s48 at a theory that Team K has the most high level dancers so I could see their stages being how powered which could win me over...
-
Still K.
Sayaka
Sae...
Miiiiiiiichan!!!!!!!!!!
:cow:
-
I tried to come up with a way to rate them without making it overly complicated (and because some girls are really complicated.
Most of those in the Neutral or Dislike group are actually just girls that I'm feeling neutral about. Disliking them is difficult, hating them is almost impossible and there's also only one that I dislike enough to not wanting to see her on stage anymore.
For some of them, these positions change occasionally, though.
For example, Fujie was really cute in her admiration of Maimai and I felt pretty sad for her when the results for Iiwake Maybe senbatsu were announced and I really wanted to put her in the Like group, but she really isn't that interesting - she's a solid performer but not outstanding.
New A
Love: Kuramochi :wub:
Like: Katayama, Kojima, Sashihara, Shinoda, Takajo, Nakata, Matsubara, Takahashi (though sometimes she really annoys me)
Neutral or Dislike: Maeda (both), Ota, Nakagawa, Nakaya
Undecided: Suzuki M (she was on the latest AKBINGO, looked nice), Iwasa, Oya (she'll probably end up in Like)
New K
Like: Akimoto, Itano, Oshima, Minegishi, Miyazawa, Nito
Neutral or Dislike: Umeda, Ono, Kikuchi, Kohara, Tanabe, Nakatsuka, Fujie, Yonezawa
Undecided: Uchida, Nonaka, Matsui
New B
Like: Kashiwagi, Kasai, Kitahara, Sato N, Hirajima, Masuda, Miyazaki
Neutral or Dislike: Kobayashi, Sato A, Sato S, Chikano, Watanabe
Undecided: Ishida, Komori, Suzuki S
Graduate her now: Oku
Result
A (1)-8-5-3
K 6-8-3
B 7-5-3-(1)
So the numbers say A, followed by B and K, my current favorite, coming in last - but that's only the members. Looking at the current stages, I prefer K5 over A5 over B4. I'd be very surprised if that changed just because members changed.
It'll be interesting to see the new teams perform together but I can don't think my rating will change much. Sure, I'll have an opinion on those currently in the Undecided group but the rest will most likely stay the same.
-
After all this shuffling, Team A is the winner after all.... As they've always been. So nothing has changed after all. :smhid
-
^not quite true. Recent polls indicate Team K is the most popular:
http://www.stage48.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1706&start=0 (http://www.stage48.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1706&start=0)
Still, I can see where you're coming from. It took them quite a while to get ahead of Team A and just when they are in the lead, Team A gets improved again :nervous
-
Don't trust that poll. When it comes to supporting and cheering, you can't feel those votes.
-
the polls are for favourite Team, someones favourite girl might not be in that team(which would mean they might spend more time/money on that team in the end)
-
My votes for Team B, solely based on untapped potential.
Team K's solid group comes in second (There really are a lot of members I like in this group), while Team A is 3rd on my list because I don't think they'll have much of a change.
With Kasai here to help, I sure hope Kashiwagi's sexiness will start coming out. :wub:
Yeah, basically the 2 Ks sealed the deal for me. Can you blame me... :lol:
-
^Definitely not XD KashiKasai combi has epic win written all over it!
-
BUMP
This poll has a timer on it, so get your votes in while you still can. The more votes we get, the more interesting the results will be :)
Just make your choice based on first impressions.
edit: lol, I voted A, but B is looking better and better.
-
New Team A by far. Sasshi, Haachan, Mocchi, Rabutan, Nakayan, and Shizuka all in the same team = MAJOR awesome.
However, as I wrote in my blog, this is also the problem. In my opinion, these teams have almost become "tiers". Not quite, but.. it just feels that's how it was done to me.
-
I voted for Team K. My favorite 2 Team A members (Tomochin and Miichan) have been moved to Team K, and only one of my top 5 Team K members (Tomo~mi) was moved out. I'm actually thinking that Team B is next, and Team A is in last place.
-
I'm gonna have to go with Team K with this one. Although overall, I find that it's pretty even, in the end Miichan and Yuko's dancing skills won me over (Endroll!!).
-
I totally changed my mind :lol:
Team B is where it's at! KashiKasai combi + Amina, Kitarie and Myao = win. Add in Harunapon and Mayuyu for cuteness and laughs and it's the perfect recipe for awesome!
-
Now that Myao is in B.... I have to say Team B.
It's true that the new team B has a lot of new random girls (and old ones like Oku) but that's okay cus Myao, Mayuyu, Kashiwagi, and Kasai will make up for it!!
As for rankings
1) Team B
2) Team A
3) Team K
-
It's getting close. more people are realizing the awesomeness of new Team B! B! B! Wasshoi!
-
I think I'd have to go with A right now.. overall, new A has the least amount of girls I dislike/am neutral about than the other two.
Oddly, my ranking goes from old B ,K ,A... to... new A, K, B. XD
-
My favourite member is in A.. ofc, I will support A.
But I curious for every team performance. Especially team K who have a great skill in dancing. Yuko, Umeda, Tomochin, Miichan, Ayarin, Yonechan.
and for team B, I want to know about their loliness, because the average age of this team younger than the others. :lol:
