Masa's Top 10 AKB48 Songs of the Year

10. Tomomi Itano - Stay by my side: Definitely the weakest song on my list but..... I can't help but melt when I hear my oshi declaring her eternal love for me...

9. Not yet - Shuumatsu Not yet: Yuko & friends singing over a groovy, house-influenced beat? I can dig it!

8. Tomomi Itano - Dark Side: Don't you just hate it when the b-side of a single is much better than the a-side? Unfortunately this is often the case with AKB48 related singles and many great songs never get the recognition they deserve simply because the a-side song has much more hype. Tomochin's Dark Side is one of those great b-side songs that completely went under the radar. Dark Side is much closer to a Timbaland club banger than any AKB48 song and I feel that it would have had more hit potential than Fui ni. What's even worse is that Dark Side is the b-side of the theater version which means that pretty much only the hardcore fans have heard the song. Dark Side might not be the best AKB48 song of the year but it's without a doubt the most underrated one.

7. NMB48 - Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo: When NMB48's debut single was announced I thought that they would get one of those generic Iiwake Maybe type of songs but boy was I wrong! Instead of yet another upbeat, guitar driven pop tune we got an awesome idol disco song mixed with techno & rock elements. Hopefully the AKB camp will release more "Zetsumetsus" and less "Iiwake Maybes" in the future.

6. DiVA - Tsuki no Uragawa (Royal Mirrorball Mix): Almost 10 years ago Hello! Project released a horrible trance remix album that pretty much killed every idol pop fan's dreams of hearing awesome (official) dance remixes of their favorite songs. The album was hated with passion and we never got more official remixes. When DiVA's Tsuki no Uragawa single came out I pretty much ignored the theater version (which contains the Royal Mirrorball remix). A few weeks after the release I finally listened to the song and man, I was blown away. Finally a great dance remix! If you like soulful house music, you will love the Royal Mirroball remix of Tsuki no Uragawa.

5. DiVA - Chika Suido: If I had to pick one word to describe Chika Suido it would be... powerful. When I really need to get amped up, Chika Suido is my weapon of choice. If I one day get a chance to see DiVA performing Chika Suido I promise you that I will go fucking nuts!

4. Atsuko Maeda - La Brea Ave: Acchan meets YUI..... now this is what (idol) girl rock should sound like! I'm a sucker for both Acchan and Japanese girl rock so naturally La Brea Ave. is one of my favorite songs of the year.

3. AKB48 - Sakura no Ki ni Narou: I usually hate ballads simply because most of them are boring. However, I really love Sakura no Ki ni Narou and it's one of the very, very few AKB48 songs that makes me feel emotional. I usually can't relate to the lyrics of idol pop songs but whenever I hear Sakura I start reminiscing about the good ol' days in high school. The lyrics perfectly describe the emotions you go through when you're about to graduate and don't know what the future holds. I believe that everybody who's on the verge of adulthood will be able to relate to Sakura no Ki ni Narou. Truly one of the most beautiful AKB48 songs ever.

2. AKB48 - Korekara Wonderland: The first time I heard Korekara Wonderland I thought it was some obscure Japanese disco song from the late 70s. The song sounds so authentic that it's hard to believe that it was recorded in 2011. Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo might be modern idol disco pop but Korekara Wonderland is true retro Kool & The Gang shit. TWO THUMBS UP!

1. Tomomi Itano - Dear J: The year might not be over but I highly doubt that anything will top Dear J. I've heard the song like a million times but I just won't get tired of it. I would even go as far as saying that Dear J is one of my favorite songs in general

Notes:
- A lot more movement than I expected. New girls stood up, while some of the other girls stepped out of the spotlight.
- Parts of this ranking was very hard, which indicates the high overall level. So many girls to like in these groups and even though one girl may be ranked above another, that doesn't mean she's any less awesome.
- I decided not to rank NMB48 and SDN48, because my interest in these groups has faded over the past year. I only know a couple of girls in each group, so a ranking would be pointless.


BarrieV's Top 10 Oshi Pyramid:

Notes:
- Rena will be #01 forever. She proved she's worthy of SKE48's top spot again and again.
Great performer, great actress and she became a gorgeous woman this year.
- Ranking varies within layers. Yuki and Tomomi are closer than ever.
- The bottom seven count as one layer. I love them all.
- Mayu took Shihori’s #10 spot. She’s great at everything and always a pleasure to watch.
- Shihori is #11. She’s been on my radar since the Budokan concerts, then graduated, worked hard to come back and she looks better than ever.

I'll see you next year!

Year end top 18 only per Amp's format.  Some changes within the top 18. Major change: Kashiwagi Yuki is 18th and Oota Aika drops out of the top 18.

Notes:
-Look at all the bricks that just won't move. My top faves look pretty set in stone for now. The only exception would be Team E. Madoka made a great first impression on me, but as time went on and new content came out, she didn't really do much to grab my attention. She's still pretty cool, but Kinchan is a whole lot cooler.
-Yokoyama Yui drops! I'm a bit surprised, still love the girl and all, but yeah... she needs to speak up a little more.
-I can't help but feel overwhelmed at this list of amazing girls. All this talent in one spot is really remarkable. It's a great time to be a fan of these groups.
-I think it's pretty clear that I'm a gaijin fan who relies on singles, concerts, and TV shows for my exposure. My ranking in some spots might as well be "who's on TV and who isn't".
-Sato Mieko gets a HUGE, well-deserved boost thanks to Sekai Seifuku Joshi. She's fantastic and I hope she stays a regular on that show. I really want to continue seeing more of her.
-While I am not ultra into SDN48, I do like them so I thought I'd do some sort of ranking since this will be my last chance to do so. Great set of talented girls. It's a shame this group is just vanishing, really is.
-I also echo Barrie's sentiment that low rank does not necessarily equal dislike or disappointment. There's just so much to like here and the level of like varies. Best example is Team S, I think everyone on that team is terrific. The difference between #1 and #15 is not really all that much.


My attempt at a pyramid! MUST NOT BE OUTDONE BY SOMETHINGWILD.

I honestly didn't spend a lot of time deliberating who to put in this pyramid, but I gotta be honest, I really like how it turned out! And that is it, dude! My fingers hurt like hell! I'm so glad I don't have to do this for six more months! Happy new year!

[boykun]

Wow I haven't done the ranking in a while. It's the end of the year might as well try!

Notes:
- Yuko almost de-throned by Mariko at some point but I don't remember when or what the reason was.
- Team B not represented in Top 10, the closest would be Mayuyu.
- Fall from grace award goes to Miichan, who had a seat in le Prestige but now chills just outside Top 10.
- Dat Climb goes to Suzuranranran who came out of nowhere for a spot in the A-Team.
- Biggest movement up and down the ranks goes to Sashiko. Went through periods of loving her and not loving her as much anymore throughout the year, but I reckon she'll be back for that spot in the A-Team.
- Yui ended up quite high, as I did not favor her in the beginning. Big push, but boring; I did not see her appeal. But thanks to Not yet now I think she's lovely~
- No SKE or NMB ranks cus I don't know shit about them. Maybe next year!

Notes:
- Basically all of kami7 dropping since I got to know a whole lot of undergirls and even found an oshimen there. Exception for Yukirin who I disliked but ended up liking. Same for Tomochin. "But they're so low in your ranking!!1" I'm now incapable of disliking these girls... Being last =/= dislike.
- I didn't care for team 4 at all in the beginning but now they're my second favorite AKB team. Was probably the hardest to rank because they're all absolutely adorable.
- Team S =  If I were to make a SKE ranking they'd pretty much fill the first 15 spots... with maybe Minapon and Neesan sneaking there somewhere.
- I love team E but I barely know some of the members so I wasn't sure if to include them at all. But what the heck, there you go.
- Didn't rank NMB because I just recently started to follow them but named a couple of girls who have catched my eye.

Yes I know it's not a proper pyramid.

Notes:
- Kami-oshi → AKB oshi → "can I also marry these girls" → I dunno I just love them more than rest of ***48.
- SKE48 loli ikemen kicking Twin Towers from the top and keeping that position. Sae still staying in top 10, Sayaka only slightly below Shiorin.
- Sakiko: from "AKB Matsui" to oshimen. Brought also Micha along with her into top 10.
- Akichan and Kanakana skyrocketed during past few months.
- "I didn't know I liked her this much" -award goes to Yui.
- I feel bad for placing Rena 6th because I feel I like her more than ever... But I can't bring myself to place her above Akichan or Micha either. I'd almost say all four in that layer were equal.

Finally - S4 please, the official profile pics are starting to look out-of-date.

Team B 16. Suzuki Shihori

Yeah, this won't do. I'ma have to step in. 

In a way, Shihorin is like Team B's Matsui Sakiko:
- She's tall @ 171cm
- She plays an instrument (and has class as seen in this pic):



- She had the guts to quit AKB48 after her promotion to Team B because her heart wasn't into it as much as her fellow kenkyuusei at the time and because she wanted to focus on her studies. After her studies she has fought her way back into AKB48 by working hard and by putting her soul into everything she does.
