Event / Concert AKB48 49th Single Senbatsu Sousenkyo (17/06/17)

Yui's single digit can't be confirmed now. Don't forget this year we have Kaotan as a dark horse.

 

Ah well, Kaotan would need her 2015 votes + 7k. Possible but unlikely.
I stay firm with my Yuihan single digits confirmation.

 

Jurina's Seitansai will be happening on that day.

 

so i'm guessing Jurina's wotas are going all in on first day.?

 

If they make her 1st and then she ends up at 3rd again (or worse, FOURTH!), we can expect a good example of idolish hyperventilation in Okinawa.

 

I have her at ranked 9 in my SSK prediction list

Would you like this too?

lol Shimada went from her character on Tofu Pro Wrestling to herself.

 

My favorite so far

I liked Renacchi's too, she appeared three times, from different sides of the screen, at the 'Renacchi' of her catchphrase then just said her goal is senbatsu!

 

She's so powerful...

 

AKB48 Ones are done

SKE48 Ones are on now

 

I just looked at all the posters. My favorites are...

Myao: I love her use of color on this poster. "Kachionna" (winner girl) on her hand is potent.
Abemaria: Dem legs, and that lovely lavender color. The words "Is this what you like?" Super sexy.
Nako: Her Ghostbusters running joke makes a great poster, it's really cute.
Naachan: Of course! I love a girl who poses as a badass. Her focus on the future of the 48 Group itself and not just her own ambition to rank is very heartening.
Ryoha: The text takes away from it a bit, but the photo is really beautiful.
Mako: I expected something more cutesy from her, which is why this poster is so striking. It looks so determined.
Nozawa Rena: For the sheer guts to replace all of the senbatsu with her face, lmao.

Matsumoto Chikako: The color palette is eye-catching.
Aoki Shiori: Please slap someone around with that fish.
Takagi Yumana: "Your feelings will set my future in motion". I like her costume too.
Churi: Wat.
Takeuchi Saki: Cinderella for her ranking last year. I like it.
Takatera Sana: Another beautiful photo, like Ryoha's.
Ijiri Anna: Yet another "simple is best" beautiful photo.
Jo Eriko: I love the costume and the composition on this one.

Sasshi: Yep.
Takakura Moeka: Looks like a beautiful doll.
Yamada Noe: The poster's composition is very good.
Otaki Yuria: I believe her to be one of the more imaginative NGT members. This poster shows it pretty well.


I don't like...

Miichan: Creepy. As. Fuck.

Overall kind of a "meh" crop of posters this year. Composition has gotten better across the board, but standout posters - at least for me - haven't increased in number since past years. I don't think election posters are going to really change any voter's mind and might only do a little to sway undecided voters, but it is nice to see how the members choose to represent themselves every year. It's always a shame that so many of them stick to very safe and basic motifs, though.

 

NMB48 is up now.

 

Up to HKT48 now (Halfway done).

EDIT: Up to NGT48 Now.

EDIT again: Final Group (STU48) up now.

 

Turns out that Asakawa will appear as an MC after all when the preliminaries are out.
