2) Miichan's Scandal + Youtube Video (127 Points)
1) Iwate Incident (163 Points)
-----------------------------------------------------------
No Surprise at all what takes the top spot. Iwate Incident is WITHOUT A DOUBT, the most shocking moment in the 48/46G History (hell I call it one of the most shocking moments in music history). May 25, 2014 will always be known as THE darkest day in the 48/46G history. It's good to know that Annin and Ricchan are doing alot better since that day (even though Ricchan graduated) she is doing awesome in the world of acting and that prick got what he had coming to him and is now in Jail (hopefully he's someone bitch now).

Miichan's Scandal + Youtube Video is #2. Pretty much, the way this all went down made you go WHAT!. First was the scandal itself (where she was caught at the place of if I remember rightly, a Generations from EXILE Tribe member), 2nd was the Youtube Video, 3rd was the most shocking part of it all, she was bald. Pretty much panicking about what was going to happen to her after this story came out.) All of it was just HOLY CRAP and the end result had her bust down to being an KKS (Pretty much having to start over again). But she has been able to rebound from it (being Team 4 Captain and pretty much referring to the Young Team 4 Members as her daughters lol) and 2016 was moved back to Team K (after being there from 2009 to 2012). She also has a chance to return to Senbatsu in SSK (which she has been there since 2012).

Tang Anqi's Incident is #3, This happened only recently (March 1st). she suffered severe injuries due to burns all over her body in a cafe near the Wanda Plaza, Baoshan District, Shanghai, China. When hearing about this, I was like WHAT!?, Tang AnQi was on mind for a couple of days and was wondering if she was ok and was hoping like hell she wouldn't die from this. (I think we can all agree that we don't wanna hear about any members dying until they are in their old ages (like 80s and 90s). But it's going to know that she won't, but she will pretty much not be the same. There is also a mystery onto what the hell happen there, wonder if we will ever know tbh.

Time For Episode 84 Voting.

1) Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou (54 Points)
-------------------------------------------------------
Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou is the #1 Darkest Songs, and I think we can all agree on that. Scorned Love is the English Translation of the song and as you can see, the lyrics theme is school bullying and as you can see by the lyrics here:

http://stage48.net/studio48/keibetsushiteitaaijou_single.html

It's pretty dark.

I'm Crying is #2. The Title of this song alone shows that it's a dark song lol. But when you see the lyrics for this song, you can feel the depression and the cry for help in these lyrics. You are just like wow when you hear tbh, Imagine this being a single or a coupling song. I'll just leave it at that.

Hitei no Requiem is #3 and like our #1 song, it deals with the same thing (School Bullying) and I think the one thing that makes this such a dark song is these lyrics.

and English Translation

Spoiler

What she left behind
was a rumor of life
To treasure the moment
when you're alive
What she left behind
was the way a heart should be
Sometimes I look up at the sky
Tearful requiem

The day she became a bird,
I thought it must be a mistake
I simply nodded my head
Negative requiem

What she left behind
was a rumor of life
To treasure the moment
when you're alive
What she left behind was
tomorrow's blue sky
and that you shouldn't die
Negative requiem
