No Only Appearances costumes (where one of them appear on a Show but didn't perform).

Oh shit this is my category!!
Just a question, are we able to edit our lists before voting ends if we suddenly remember a costume we forgot to mention?

 

Uhm dont you think it should be more restricted? Can we divide the costume ranking into two? One for PV Costumes and one for the rest? There are just too many.

 

Yep.

4. Kamonegix (SSA 2014)

9. Kiseki wa Ma ni Awanai
10. Melon Juice (PV Version)

 

Don't you think there would be too many choices that you can not count and put them into a list because the gap between them is very small.

We have AKB and sister groups, each group has many many many outfits for PVs, performances,... May be you should divided this topic into 3 4 ones for each group which makes it easy for everyone to choose and for you to count.

That's just my opinion after all.

 

I'll second this.
