Single Nogizaka46 11th (Inochi wa utsukushi) (March 18, 2015)

Nanamin center or surprise me with Sayunyan/Ashu/Marika center or for extreme measure double A-side with no one left behind and top members split evenly between both tracks

 

Hoshimina or Ikomachan center pls

 

ikuchan center please a sexy song

 

Maaya center plz.

 

I hope Minamiona is centre and drop out Ikomachan fukujin because she's ranking is low and maybe in 11th single less than at time. Although she in akb48 is media senbatsu because ssk ,really she is well-known but she is not popular. Minamiona is cutie and interest to make centre at time. Minami is good ranking in Nandome. I hope Mng push they more than.

 

I personally would love to see Ikoma-chan as a center once again ^^) I love her xD

 

It would be interesting to see how Ikoma's experience with AKB performances&interactions(not the theater ones, lol) would affect her approach to center.
I like how she's doing her hair now, I think with it longer she visual fits the Nogi-image a bit more, though I loved her with short hair in gravure.
Its a mystery to me how she can look so incredibly cool and stylish in gravure and be so awkward on stage, lol.
That being said, I can see Sagara Iori in senbatsu, maybe even surprise center.

 

I want a double center. Realistically, a combo like MinaMiona or MaiNanami or IkuIkoma. In my dreams, I'd have my Fukugawa/Eto center.

 

Ringohime! Ok, just kidding. I'm sure that'd cause riots.

I wouldn't mind another Ikuchan center. Nanase had two in a row, so why not Ikuchan?

Or maybe a Nanamin center? Nanamin would be a good choice for a "cool" song, I think.

As much as I love Ikomachan, and will probably always see her as the "spirit" of Nogizaka (if not the "face"), I don't think she needs to center another single for a long while. Maybe she could come back for a special anniversary single but until then, I'm just happy with her being a part of whatever-jin they're currently using.

 

while I really want Nanamin as center, I prefer they save her for summer single center
she was so perfect in Natsu no Free & Easy (and Girl's Rule too)

and I hope to see Kazumin in fukujin again, she's been in that corner for too long lol

 

^ Corner second row is the best spot for her

Well, that would be so unexpected Lol.

 

Nanami or a Kazumin center

Mostly likely Nanami~

 

I almost feel like they won't repeat a center again for a while since it seems they have better results when the center is *new*. But then they also could keep Ikuta as center while they shake up the rest of senbatsu which would be a bit more preferable since it's been getting pretty boring as of late. With speculation that Miona might be out, Ringo's position uncertain, and the latest rises/pushes, this could be the most interesting lineup we've had in a while.

 

^Knowing mgmt's history to make fans go bat shit crazy, I have a feeling we will be in for a surprise. This year we will see "Nogizaka boom" starting with this senbatsu!

Rather than who's the center, i'm more interested in what position Ringo will get. Will she still in fukujin/2nd row or pushed back. But, I predict she still got a spot in 2nd row. She's still one of nogi front member after all.

 

Man, I would buy this one !! On the other hand, I'm not sure management has consumed much mushrooms so I give a 1% chance lol. Matsun will be there for sure and I do think she will be in the fukujin because it is where she belongs.

 

^I'm thinking Ringo will be dropped to UG. This will clear a fukujin spot for the likes of Misa or Yumi.

 

Hum, not sure staff-san does want to appear like losing face and send the wrong message. It would make them appear unconfident, weak and not able to react with the proper timing. Ringohime has gained a lot of support (and not so much haters) even within the group. Management has nothing to gain to drop her. On the contrary, I almost think they cannot make anything but keeping her. Of course, that's just my opinion (and I agree with myself ). Let's wait untill tomorrow...

 

I would like to see Ringo remain in senbatsu but I have this feeling mgmt isn't finished reprimanding her. It is painfully obvious mgmt is regulating her participation in Doko and Bingo. As for timing, this is the best opportunity to drop her to UG. It would've been odd to boot her from senbatsu during her scandal since she was allowed to stay. I wouldn't be upset if she is sent to UG and then worked her way back. I think this route should appease the haters and gain the trust of fans.
