    The rise of the youtuber namba! :lol: Do you guys think there's chance for her to be in senbatsu for the second year in a row? It feels like is the only way for her to be included again in a single.

    She is the entrepreneur of 48group. I take my hat off to her. She didn't just sit around waiting for things to come to her, she rolled up her sleeves and went out and chased them.

    I can't think of any reason why would popularity would drop in 2018. She looked soooo good in that fashion show a few months back. Her Youtube Channel is as popular as ever, and they asked for a second photo book because sales of the first were so good. I can see her getting 12 or 13 in this year's election. I really don't think 16 was a fluke. Anybody agree?

    Yeah she is as popular as ever. 16th is not a fluke, and neither is her popularity on youtube, twitter and instagram. Just keep in mind that popularity does not always equate to election place (especially so with NMB). It is possible that some fans who buy her books and watch her videos might not be interested in buying AKB singles and votes. Meanwhile at the opposite end there are some hardcore wotas who buy hundreds of votes for their oshimen, like a single wota who bought over 2600 votes for Riripon last year and pushed her up 2 places all by himself.

    Aaaand she just hit 500,000 subscribers just after I wrote this. :1st:

    Seems she created a 2nd youtube channel, "Akarin House".

    A supposedly final result - with a finish... Not the best on paper, but in few days we will have a real test - second photobook! Date is set for 2018-03-02, Rakuten and Amazon links are in the tweet above.

    You should have mentioned, that in Fashion she took 2nd and 1st positions, respectively - noticeably better, even though fashion category is quite crowded.

    Fashion rankings are consistently above respective photobook places: 3rd and 7th; in next weeks we might have to check them instead, as 9th place in photobooks has been secured with mere 5 copies over contender on 10th, but with a loss of 15 to 8th... Who knows how far away was 11th.

    I realize it's probably too early to be discussing this, but on another thread, people are predicting the upcoming Sousenkyo rankings. Akarin is listed on almost everyone's top 16 with the majority of predictors taking our girl to come in anywhere from 11 to 14. I'm thinking she may very well break into the top ten taking 9th or 10th. Anybody agree or disagree?

    I am forecasting top 10. She has tremendous reach and with Sayanee not in the picture.....

    10th really? For some reason I didn't really think she would go behind the 12th mark for awhile. The 16th place can be tricky and you really need the fans to not slack to stay in senbatsu (I mean even Dasu dropped out of senbatsu once).

    If anything, she has better reach, so not only she would advance automatically thanks to graduations and drop-outs, but also very likely beat some of those above her.
