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 ALove: Kuramochi
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 KLike: Akimoto, Itano, Oshima, Minegishi, Miyazawa, Nito
Neutral or Dislike: Umeda, Ono, Kikuchi, Kohara, Tanabe, Nakatsuka, Fujie, Yonezawa
Undecided: Uchida, Nonaka, Matsui
New BLike: 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.
