    Announced just now on Showroom, Yamaguchi Maho and Tsushima Yunako will form a two-member unit under the name of "Aomoringo".
    Before more "official" sources pop up, here's a few tweets with screenshots and quotes from the stream as token evidence, since this is all that is available right now:

    it's an expression used to indicate surprise, that Macharin used in her first appearance in AKBINGO (see ep 440), which made her famous and she has used it on numerous occasions since then. But originally the "ottamage" phrase is some gag - don't remember the exact origin - that Meru taught her as an "interesting Japanese phrase to know". The joke is obviously that absolutely no one uses that in their daily lives so everyone found it funny.

    IIRC the gag is from Hirano Nora, that comedian who acts like she's in the 80s (Bubble Era in Japan).

    I wonder why no one else is willing to go solo ?
    If the situation stays as it currently is, It's a guaranteed spot for the final.

    Some of them are probably just waiting to see if they can qualify automatically. That's why they shouldn't reveal it before everyone applies.

    Or they are just too stressed out thinking about their unit name and procrastinating it to the last second.

    it's actually an intriguing topic, how do the units form. Let's remember how last year Cuca was desperate to get into any sort of unit with literally anyone, although she could've said: "yeah let's just go solo, no big deal". And she was hardly the only one. I guess the cultural aspect plays a big role there.
