Event / Concert 32nd Single Senbatsu Sousenkyo

My first live watch of the election. I'm excited. It's already bedtime where I'm at so I'm going to "try" and get a 2-hour power nap in before waking up for the stream. Not sure if I'll actually get to sleep or not. Could try again after, but may be too excited then as well.
A couple girls I hope get into the top 64, Moriyasu Madoka, Oya Shizuka, and probably unlikely but I have to route for my HKT oshi Tanaka Natsumi.

Also, any excessive spamming like "afsdfasflsdf" or constant "OMG"-ing and "What is she saying?" will get you kicked after a while.

The thread for the actual event is here.

 

I like the way you think.

 

Oh please do :x I mean it's not that I am directing this to the people who honestly can't understand Japanese and want to know whats going on but when EVERYONE is complaining or when EVERYONE is going: WHAT WHAT WHAT ...it's a bit annoying .__.;;;

 

Waiting.....

This year is so interesting. Have mixed feeling on Paruru will get into senbatsu or not. But undergirl center will be good.

Don't wish to see SKE member to take up half of the undergirl spot. They can have their election in the future I guess.

Now just waiting for the result.....

 

everybody should be reminded that Yuko is ready to give her position as absolute center after Acchan but Yuko never said she will just stooped down and just hand over the position that she preciously held.
but Yuko did confused her fans by saying she doesn't care what position she will have at the election but won't just let anyone take it from her easily that's why she participate on the election. I think Yuko want to be overtaken since everybody are expecting it to happen since Acchan isn't present anymore and Yuko is the only member who has an outstanding vote count every election and by participating on the election with a mindset of dominating and winning it again when Yuko doesn't have any clear rival for the no.1 spot. will only make Yuko look bad but Yuko wisely said she doesn't care what position she will rank. but imo Yuko didn't just say it straight-forward that she's ready to be overtaken by someone i.e Mayuyu as to make the competition clear she just said she doesn't care.but won't give it up easily.

I hope everybody will blow the roof off at Nissan Stadium. [party]

 

There's not much time left, and the anticipation is building up like crazy

In AKB48, There have been 2 known Centers: Maeda Atsuko & Oshima Yuko

But today, I have faith that history will rewrite itself to recognize Watanabe Mayu as the 3rd Center of AKB48!! [rock]
No matter what happens, and I know most of you agree with me, Mayuyu will still be the Center of our eyes.

The real battle begins now. May the Gods of AKB rest upon Mayuyu today.

A few interesting stats: We had about 320 visitors in our IRC channel around peak time.
Also, the forum's all-time record of most users ever online simultaneously was outdone by a good 200 (it was at 358 before if I remember correctly) just about 25 minutes after news of Sasshi's win. Which is, well... pretty sick.



Post-election discussion continues in this topic.
