18) Hirate Yurina (284 Points)
17) Yokoyama Yui (GM - Team A) (286 Points)

3) Takahashi Minami (581 Points)
2) Yamamoto Sayaka (583 Points)
1) Oshima Yuko (695 Points)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuko Takes the Top Spot on this whole list. Gotta say that I'm a little suprised since I had either Acchan or Takamina taking the Top spot on this list (not that I got a problem with it). Yuko is very deserving of the Top Spot. Yuko is one of the most well loved members of all time. An Excellent Singer, Dancer, Actress. She can bascally do anything and be awesome at it .

Sayanee is #2. The best NMB48 member ever (No Question about it). Like Yuko, Sayanee is pretty much talented at anything she does and is going to be an awesome solo star when she graduates later this year.

Takamina is #3. The Heart of AKB48 from 2005 to 2016. She was somebody who did so much for the group and is one of the reasons (like Yuko) why AKB48 is where it is right now (as one of the top girls groups ever).

Would like to thank the 39 members here who voted (I was #40) on this list. You guys help make this a very special episode like I wanted.

Arigatou! .

We now have two Episodes left of Season 4 before we began Season 5 (Hard to believe that I have been doing this since 2014). Some of you guys have been here since then the start of this and you guys are awesome. So Arigatou for helping making this thing one of the best things on Stage48.

Even after this long, I still got ideas on lists (and of course I'm always open to suggestions from you guys (which I only accept via twitter, messages on here, or writing on my profile posts here ).

Anyways, Time to began Episode 201 voting.

29. Cherprang (65)
30. Music (194)

All my votes managed to rank! and most of them were in the top 30 minus music, cherprang, melody, yuiri and haruppi. I'm surprised Yuko is first but she deserves it I really thought Acchan was gonna be first since it looked like a few people voted her no.1 on their list but I'm glad she's at least no. 5. Maybe because she's been out of the group for so long people don't think she's contributed to the group that much but in my books she's still no.1

 

Well then my complete list haha of where my remaining 17 girls ranked in top 20 in bold. Also, wow my girl Sayaka at #2. Great result for her for sure!

O Captain of Captains. Mother Protector and Trailblazer. 10 best moments is not enough to do her justice...

9. Representing AKB on quiz shows in 2011, when AKB was gaining the reputation of being "idiot idols". She stopped that trend real fast.

Her Mushi no Ballad Solo takes the Top Spot. Mushi no Ballad is an AKB48 Team K 5th Stage Song which is a Solo Track. For a Solo song, you need to have the right person to be singing a solo track, Akimtoto Sayaka is that person. Akimoto made Mushi no Ballad into one of the most legendary songs in the history of AKB48 and since then, we've had other girls showing their greatness in singing that song.

Anyways, let's began Episode 202 voting. The Season 4 Finale.
