Aka's name is not revealed but considering there is only one user left starting with an "A"... I thought for sure he would be a casual and not such an edgelord.
Im genuinely surprised I'm number 16! I thought id be higher in the mainstream ranking list :0 At least I just made it into senbatsu, one more ranking down and i would have been in undergirls
Stop tagging me! You're forgetting that many at the bottom voted for unknow idols just to see their oshimen ranking higher.
19. So I guess I missed the mainstream senbatsu then. I was actually expecting I would be higher, like in the top 10. But undergirls is good.
Honestly expected to rank higher but I guess 13 is still pretty high I still made senbatsu of casuals, I suppose lol
Didn't even make it to the 10th sousenkyo additional category, not even close ^_^" I do have some members I voted for who made it to the top 50 like Jurina, Chuuri, Muto, Neru, Mako, Yuiyui, Team 8 Yui, Rena, Yuki, and even #1 girl, Okada.. I guess my other half were mostly low ranking members
I did a rough calculation and I presume that I'm 18. R... (12433) Almost in the mainstream senbatsu then
I felt like, seeing everyone's reactions, that the results weren't super "accurate". So I kept trying. There's obviously no right answer, but I felt like the results could be something more people can accept as accurate. Spoiler: What I did and why I guessed the issue was the high importance placed on what rank we gave each member. The difference between voting for Okada Nana for 1st and 2nd was huge. Enough to take 1st place down to 13th place. I still think placement should be important, but not that important. So, I compromised by using the square root values of the points. Thus 15, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Became 3.9, 3.2, 3, 2.8, 2.6, 2.4, 2.2, 2, 1.7, 1.4, 1 I used Okada's potential ranks to test the resulting score differences, and I think it looks quite fair. I'll also repost the old ranking and one with no difference for what score we gave everyone. Everyone who voted positively for Okada will get 330, and everyone who voted negatively will get -330. I'm sure you'll all hate it as much as I do. New ranking (points = square root of user scores * final score) Spoiler: New Mainstream Ranking 1. T... (5658) 2. S... (5394) 3. bonjourmarlene (5380) 4.

Wait, seriously, there were "complaints" or "questions" against putting weight on the ranking given? I think that made sense. Like obviously there's a big difference between someone who put Okada as their #1 girl from someone who placed her at 20th on their list. You can't say they are "equally mainstream" on that part.
No, just a lot of surprise. I didn't get rid of it, I just reduced it. It's still a big factor, just not as big. And I still kept the old one so people can judge themselves based on whichever rank they agree with the most. @sscrla that's already close to what the new ranking does
So I got 13, 18 and 15 respectively in the three computations, which makes me the Takahashi Juri or Takayanagi Akane of voters or something lol
107, 115, 107.. so regardless, way low to be mainstream. Apparently though, its my negative votes that really brought my score down. Here are my negative votes: - 5: Sakura There were members, through out the last 10 elections, who were deeply devastated with their results: Takajo, Yuria, comes to mind. However, at least those members still sucked it up and showed up for the group photos. -4: Hirate Honestly, since I submitted my list at the last minute, I didn't edit or think enough from my 2017 list. Still not a fan of her and will check out Keyaki again once they give to another member the centership. Hirate will likely be out of my negative list next year. -3: Minegishi Her act years ago was the worst act any member had done that put AKB in such a badlight in the international scene. After that, sure, she was given the chance to redeem herself (coz AKS was put on the spot and won't dare fire the girl who shaved het head), that's the thing, should have left gracefully after Team 4 with the musketeers won request hour. Didn't happen, the leeching continues. -2: Sashi More of a habit. I know there's an argument that she's probably the greatest member of AKB, still, not really a fan. I stopped disliking her years ago but I just can't be bothered to remove her from my negative list. -1: Matsuoka The overpushed poster girl. Good for her that almost all popular members of HKT left already that it can now be argued that she deserves the push she's being given. I'll probably remove her from my list next year. There you have it. The reasons why I ranked low, I downvoted several Stage48 favorites. Apparently, if I didn't, I would have ranked somewhere between 60 to 80. So somewhat in the median.
