I've been thinking about it some more and there is only one possible outcome, really.
So, I'll say it again, for bragging rights later

AKB48 27to Single Senbatsu Sousenkyo (06/06/12)

Alright, so as far as I can work out, and I'm likely to be wrong, here's the schedule:

JST
1720 election starts on google+
1900 fuji tv broadcast starts
2115 fuji tv broadcast ends
2300 winner's livestream speech on G+

I've heard there's likely a performance beforehand (6 songs last year) so that will fill some time before the TV broadcast starts. And I'm assuming the whole thing will wrap up for the TV broadcast so the livestream winner's speech is a separate thing.

The website teaser, or should I say "interactive console" judging by the looks of it, is up! Have a feel for the interface before the big night!

Oh my gooooood

please tell me that I'm not the only one panicking !! When I'm that nervous I don't even want to know how the members are ...

^ Ur not the only one

I'm nervous for Sayaka.. I've tried to prepare myself mentally for not seeing her in Senbatsu this time ;A; If not Senbatsu, please get the position as the UG center

Also, I'm excited to see how far the effort of Sae wotas will go. They're really trying to get her to the best position ever which means Top 8

@Meania: Nande, nande, why?! Oh nuuuuu ;A;

Honestly the rankings for the FG is making me really apprehensive. (´；ω；`)

Even if Nishishi doesn't rank, I hope at least Yukko does.

I'm really scared for my dear Tomochin since she was number 9 (?) last time
I think I don't have to be worried about Yuki and Haruna but I hope that Kasai gets a decent place too

and I don't remember when Ishida Haruka entered AKB48 (I think it was last year) so I'm not sure if she will even get a place ...
Ami might be in it cause it looks like she has enough fans already

well I just have to wait and see (and pray) and I'm probably gonna cry the whole time because I'm just too sensitive when it comes to things like that

but on the other side I'm really excited since this is my first election ... I'm happy to share it with you guys and I hope that your oshimen gets a good place

Even though I believe in Yuko-sama and Yukirin, I'm worried for Rena-sama. I hope she's in between first seven...
