Geez at least SKE are using 6 members. 2 person shows are going to be a lot of talk and less singing/dancing, shows will probably be pretty short too.

 

The last in the series of Shitsuren, Arigato HS events which was scheduled for 7/4 in Yokohama has now been postponed:

So with 10 events postponed (including the one for Sustainable on 2/1) that's quite a backlog to be addressed...

 

It looks like there is an élection in the 48 Times

And it seems to have made the temperatures rise in Japan.

 

Is it the same as a Sousenkyo?

 

Yes and no
You have to suscribe to the 48times online newspaper to vote, so, multiples votes isn't that handy.
(no idea if it's possible to suscribe using a foreign credit card)

From the 48times site:

 

Why can't fans do multiple votes buy buying DVD as before? It boosted up the group's sales number and Oricon ranking. Also multiple votes means a fan could support his/her oshimen multiple times at once.

 

sorry if any bad wording and you ddn't understand.
Just you know how online subscribtion usually works. It requires mail adress, physical adress, credit card numbers. Each of these must be unique.

 

For clarification, as it doesn't appear to have been mentioned here, the two winners from each block (East and West) will win a gravure photoshoot. I've just had a go with the voting procedure. As far as I can see every subscriber has 200 points. Each vote for a member costs one point. I've just tried voting twice each for Miu and Megu and it used up 4 points. Therefore in theory could each subscriber have 200 votes?

 

Is there a list of the members involved?

 

East block:

AKB48: Asai Nanami, Ichikawa Manami, Inagaki Kaori, Omori Maho, Taniguchi Megu, Nagatomo Ayami, Maeda Ayaka, Ma Chia-Ling, Yamane Suzuha
SKE48: Arano Himeka, Ishiguro Yuzuki, Kamimura Ayuka, Sakamoto Marin, Nakamura Izumi, Ota Ayaka, Shirai Yukino, Aikawa Honoka, Ikeda Kaede, Fujimoto Fuyuka
NGT48: Ando Chikana, Oguma Tsugumi, Kado Yuria, Seiji Reina, Nara Miharu, Nishimura Nanako, Fujisaki Miyu, Ogoe Haruka, Kawagoe Saaya, Mashimo Kaho
Team 8: Oda Erina, Sato Akari, Shimizu Maria, Suzuki Yuka, Takahashi Sayaka, Yoshikawa Nanase

West block:

NMB48: Ogawa Yuuka, Sakamoto Nami, Shimizu Rika, Shobu Marin, Shinzawa Nao, Hara Karen, Maeda Reiko, Yasuda Momone
HKT48: Aramaki Misaki, Ichimura Airi, Kamijima Kaede, Kuriyama Rina, Jitoe Nene, Hokazono Hazuki, Matsumoto Hinata, Miyazaki Sono, Murakawa Bibian, Yamauchi Yuna
STU48: Otani Marina, Oki Yuka, Kai Kokoa, Kadowaki Miyuna, Tanaka Kouko, Nakamura Mai, Kawamata Anna, Kudou Riko, Yoshida Sara
Team 8: Onoue Mizuki, Kawahara Misaki, Gyoten Yurina, Shitao Miu, Nagano Serika, Rissen Airi

(Just to add that the 200 points each subscriber gets can be used for other things apart from this vote, e.g. currently there's a lottery to win signed goods by NGT48 members - one point gives you one chance to win one item. No doubt other ways of using points will appear in the future.)
