The janken tournament is being held on my birthday. 

Naturally, this means Yuko and Takamina will go out on the 1st round again 

Called it   

Congrats to Marikosama and Miichan, but I'm most excited by Sayaka making it so far!! I thought for sure Acchan would take her down in the first round.

No tie-breaker rounds because 15 year old Kobayashi Marina isn't allowed to work after 9PM 

These will happen and the results will be posted on the AKB48 blog.


Another fancy graph thanks to AKB48journal:




Mariko and Marina aren't exactly the best vocalists. I wonder how that's gonna affect the type of song they'll get.

The rumor mill is spinning at full capacity:
- "Mariko will graduate after this release"
- "It was all a set up so that mariko can graduate!"

Congrats to Mariko!! She deserves it!! I hope this single will sound a LOT better than CnJ



I also noticed that Haruna Kojima is the only girl in senbatsu to be in all singles up to date.

[Melchizadek]

Congrats, Mariko!!

I've got to admit, I'm liking this lineup a lot more than I did the one for Chance no Junban. Even though Tomochin still lost in the 1st round.

Mariko!

I thought this was the thread where Barrie or Amp had said "_______ will get centre" and I had replied " Mariko will get centre" or something but it must of been the last senbatsu!
To be honest, I think Mariko's been slipping from my top spot lately as I've got to know more members, but I'm really really happy for her- she deserves the top spot for a change, especially as she probably won't be around as long as most of the girls! (whether she's about to graduate, I'm doubtful that will happen just yet, but in the long run, the younger girls are more likely to have more time as part of AKB48 so it's nice for her to get centre now! )
