Minarun's SSK Appeal Video "My goal for this year’s general election is to be in the senbatsu. After 8 years and half, there were good and bad times but I came all the way here without giving up so I am being able to say with confidence that I want to be in the senbatsu. So this year I will be a senbatsu member and if you never give up it will come back to you the words that the elder members said I will show that it can happen. To you who is watching this might be thinking Mina Oba won’t make it in as a senbatsu member. I want to be able to surprise you. Becoming one with the fans I will do my best at the senbatsu general election. I am ready to be in senbatsu. This year’s general election check on Mina Oba."

I've seen numerous posts on several threads that this was the dullest election ever. Really? Those shots of Minarun holding her 8th place trophy certainly debunks that opinion. This election can be positively brutal for these girls, sometimes absolutely heart-breaking, but when a good soldier like Oba Mina can unexpectedly pop up 18 spots to number 8, it certainly should warm all our hearts. Congrats to her and her many fans.
I´m SO happy for Minarun.I still see her as AKB, I know she has been a SKE member for years, but I still remember her when she was in Team 4 and when she was with 9th generation, I miss those times. Omedetou, Minarun!!!!.
Congrats Minarun.....I think her personality really has shined through all of these years and it's helped her get this great ranking
I was really happy for Minarun when she finally joined senbatsu!!!!!!. I will always remember her 9th generation time when she was in AKB, Paruru was super happy as well,I really love their bond.
Modelpress has just published a post-SSK interview with Minarun: https://mdpr.jp/interview/detail/1774542
She also went for an interview at Oricon and met with the staff. https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2113986/full/ [I started to post this yesterday, and my computer crashed. Thanks for reminding me David61.] Update: More news and a long interview with RealSound. "- Congratulations on the first general election eighth. Is not it a rank that can be said to be a great breakthrough for both the group and Mr. Oba? Oba Mina (hereafter Oba): That's right! It was a great breakthrough. - It was one down from the 7th in the target ranking, is this rank within the range of expectation? Oba: No, my '7th place' was purely pleased as it was my target. In most cases, it is often under the target ranking, and it is a shame if you do not put it in the 16th position and you can not make a selection, so with this thought that "I want to absolutely enter within 16th place!" You can also win a signed cheki if you tweet about the article (or something like that). "Signed Cheki Oba Mina presents for 2 people. Application requirements are as follows. Application method Follow the real sound's official Twitter & present this article tweet from people who have you tweeted RT. For winners, we will send you DM from Real Sound Twitter account. "
Smart Flash has an interview with her about her SSK speech. There are several interesting points, one of which is that her manager helps edit it. I always assumed that members ran important speeches past their managers, but I had never seen it explicitly. She also reviewed previous speeches. - How long will you prepare a general election speech? Oba: I am trying to think in the place I felt frustrated when I came up the night before. It took five and a half hours from 22 o'clock in the evening to 3:30 pm on late night. Write it with a smartphone and send it to the manager and send it back to the manager so that it is better to shave here "No, I want to say only here", but anyway it is concise and easy to understand, yet still tell her characteristics honestly You made a mind. - You write up at once. Oba: When I came for a year, important words take notes. After that, I examined the past speech, decided the standard of time, I left the approximate image first. I thought that my seniors' speech was being spoken for a long time, but it is actually two to three minutes. https://smart-flash.jp/entame/43158
