The 2022 Stage48 Member Ranking Results (All ranks revealed!)

Not sure if the lack of names from my list appearing so far on the second is good or bad. There's a few I didn't vote for that got far fewer votes than I would expect. Anyhow, two today.

248. (174) [3] [N46] Kuromi Haruka {+6}, 6
Mingo-senpai! My 4th Gen oshimen She'll always get my vote. Perhaps this upcoming year she'll definitely get more fans -- I know 5th Gen are fans.

205. (182) [3] [S46] Harada Aoi {+9}, 9
Aoi-chan lasted longer as an idol than I expected.

303. (276) [1] [SKE] Matsumoto Chikako {+3}, 3
303. (206) [1] [HKT] Kurihara Sae {+3}, 3

229. (227) [3] [NMB] Kameno Zion {+7}, 7
229. (164) [1] [NMB] Kato Yuuka {+7}, 7

Well well, quite a bit of members for whom I was the only voter. In that department buggest surprise is Uuka falling quite a bit.

 

Thanks again to the staff for the annual Ranking

Two members so far for me... which is good. With some choice I took this year I thought it would be far worse.

09. 275. (206) [1] [S46] Seki Yumiko{+4}, 4

12. 229. (77) [2] [S46] Endo Hikari{+7}, 7

Seki -> I chose Seki because even if her presence is not that strong and may be overlooked, she had been really important to the growth of the first batch of Sakura 2kis. With her Kaichou and S character, her gifts to the members, her continue request for the still-elusive 2ki song, her interests, she could break up her shell little by little and make me like her dearly. She's gonna graduate this year, and next year there will be a whole new gen to rank in, so this is my goodbye. She'll be always Sakura President ad honorem

Hikari-> Hikari has a looong way before breaking her own shell and the hiatus she took and from which she just came back didn't help any. Yet, she has all the qualities to stand out in a group like Sakura, she just need to believe more in herself and open up without regrets. I hope she'll reach her goal

 

248. (---) [2] [SKE] Hara Yune {+6}, 6
205. (---) [4] [AKB] Kohama Kokone {+9}, 9

2 members for me today ^^

Hara Yune: My favorite SKE new gen and my highest ranked SKE member! I gave her 4 points! She debuted at 20 years old (currently 21) and she's getting popular so fast, I'm glad for her ;w; She's too cute! and I love her center song New Ager, it's one of my favorite 48G song in 2022, it's so fresh. I posted a lot in her thread in the past months, here! Her center song:

Kohama Kokone: I gave her 2 points! I love the 17th gen, I really enjoy seeing their news. Kokko is one of the members who got my attention from the beginning, I think her awkward personality is funny, and she's cute. and I think it would be a great story if we could see her improve through the years. I want to see her do better ;w; I also love the KokkoErii pair! ^^

My first list has come out.

19. 217. (348) [2] [NGT] Nakai Rika{+8}, 8 --- Past couple of years, this vote would definitely come out on the very 1st day, but I guess this is the good effect of having no negative votes, so it came out on the 2nd day instead

 

My list so far...

09. 229. (77) [2] [S46] Endo Hikari{+7}, 7 - I gave her 4 pts! While I didn't like her back at the time when she just debuted, she is currently among my top 3 favorites in Sakurazaka46. She's just need to be more confident though.
10. ... (+4)
11. 229. (276) [2] [STU] Kawamata Anna{+7}, 7 - Another 4 pts! She is my fav in STU's 2nd Gen.

18. ... (+1)
19. ... (+1)
20. 350. (---) [1] [BNK] Praewa Suthamphong{+1}, 1 - She is my all-time favorite member of BNK, and it's kind of sad that she had graduated. Compare to my previous list in previous Stage48 rankings that I had participated, it seems really weird that I have only one international 48 member on the list this time...

 

Only two for me in the two days revealed~

10. Sumino Wakana (+4) 217. (182) [2] [NMB] Sumino Wakana{+8}, 8
18. Deguchi Yuina (+1) 303. (174) [2] [NMB] Deguchi Yuina{+3}, 3

My NMB babies! I feel like I lost an era of NMB fandom once Sayanee graduated, and although I still paid attention to them, I didn't have any member to support. Yuina was on my twitter feed a lot and I found her to be very amusing and cute. While not my current NMB oshi, she did play a huge part in welcoming me back into the NMB fan life, so I appreciate her efforts a lot. Osaka's jokers are still being made in NMB thats for sure

Wakana is a girl who I never bothered to follow and yet somehow her beauty and aura always catches my eye and I end up looking at her more than anyone else during performances. Before I knew it I was supporting her alongside my oshi's, and could even say she's a top contender for my #1 oshi. She's got the idol power that can definitely be a center for the group.

 

almost halfway done!

03. 205. (164) [1] [NMB] Manabe Anju {+9}, 9 - she's blossomed into a real beauty, I've literally never seen anyone with (pure quality-wise) more beautiful hair than hers, it's crazy how slick it is! Her career's not really picking up much but fortunately has some rich fans it seems. But of course in the end she's this high only because she was in Prague once. Plus she can SPIN.
10. 217. (182) [2] [NMB] Sumino Wakana {+8}, 8 - it's been a very successful year for her, getting into senbatsu + a lot of gravure work. Still funny as always and I didn't hate her new haircut either! She seems to be quite favoured by the management too, still needs to step it up a bit though, else it might be challenging to keep her spots in 2023 too!
11. 263. (---) [2] [NMB] Tanaka Yukino{+5}, 5
13. 303. (164) [1] [NMB] Wada Miyu {+3}, 3
15. 327. (206) [1] [NMB] Hara Karen {+2}, 2
16. 275. (---) [2] [NMB] Yamamoto Hikaru {+4}, 4
17. 229. (206) [2] [NMB] Asao Momoka {+7}, 7 - also made a lot of progress in 2022, carried the best team, Team BII, for most of the year, and was rewarded (?) with a transfer. Should be fairly close to senbatsu already but management do love their boomers so still needs to wait.
19. 350. (---) [1] [NMB] Ike Honoka {+1}, 1
20. 350. (---) [1] [NMB] Sakamoto Risa{+1}, 1

 

My ranking so far:
All of them are Oversea48 member (mostly BNK48 through), which means that my Japan48 girls all ranks in top 200 which is so good.
Back to the ranking:
08. 263. (237) [1] [BNK] Punsikorn Tiyakorn (Pun) {+5}, 5
My BNK48 kami-oshi. Nothing more to say, just look at my avatar.

16. 327. (---) [1] [CGM] Pronwarin Wongtrakulkit (Pim) {+2}, 2
SSK queen of CGM (and would be Queen of BNK when all BNK 1st gen are gone now). My CGM48 kami, I love her smile and since she's not a management pick, I think I need to support this girl more.

17. 327. (---) [1] [BNK] Nunthapak Kittirattanaviwat (Fame) {+2}, 2
Nong Fame, last year she was a baby but this year is a beautiful teenager. She's said to have similar image to Pun, maybe that's why I was attracted to this girl. 2022 with the 4th position in 3rd gen debut, promotion to BIII and also 2 consecutive non-SSK senbatsu, managements are definitely keeping eye on her.

18. 350. (---) [1] [BNK] Natticha Chantaravareelekha (Fond) {+1,0}, 1
In charge of BNK48 visual, Nong Fond. After unexpected left out from D.AAA last year, she's back to senbatsu with a center position. Lots of people said that she is the management push failure but then somehow she still ranks highest among 2nd generation, so 1 point for her.

20. 327. (296) [2] [SH] Hu XinYin{+2}, 2
I'm not the only one vote for XiaoHu, unexpected since most of 2022 she's not really active with TeamSH because of college. She's such a true beauty, the most beautiful girl in 48group for me.

 

it looks just like regular (asian) hair to me. hmm ..
how close did you observe it?
how does it smell?

----

so she's still in the group huh
now that there's no negative votes I almost didn't even notice her

 

you gotta see it when it's just been washed!

kek

 

stalking is kawaii only when it's done by Pyon according to @Mana

let's get rid of negative votes towards members who doesnt even know this forum exist, lets keep the only way to bully a member of the forum

2 sister group members I personally found very beautiful!

10. 158. (---) [4] [NMB] Sakashita Mako{+14}, 14
Makochi made me look at NMB more lately. She's a beauty and so proficient in sport too!


17. 248. (---) [2] [SKE] Hara Yune{+6}, 6
SKE's new star! The oldest in her gen but arguably look the youngest haha. How can you say no to this smile:



For AKB's 17ki I love them all as a group so I see no need to divulge their individual ranks

I really had to wait three days to get someone on the list. I've never felt more like such a basic person in my life

Admittedly though, I'm surprised both of these girls aren't popular enough to crack top 150, unlike the rest of my list clearly.
Seimiya is just so bright and energetic, it's hard not to like her. I mean, every idol tries their best (for the most part), but I just really feel that that is really the case for her and I want to support that (with my votes in this ranking that no one will ever see). Plus she's from Cali, same as me, so I have a bit of favoritism there.
Ito too is pretty funny imo, and her "excessive poses" character is always funny for me. I look out for her in a lot of Nogi performances now.

 

One more from me today, my Hinata-oshi:

18. (+2) 158. (174) [6] [H46] Nibu Akari {+14}, 14

 

Three fold choice today! Triangle everywhere!

166. (206) [4] [H46] Takase Mana {+13}, 13
Not sure when I began to notice Manafi but she's so fun to tease on HinaAi that it makes my teeth hurt. An underrated member.

166. (237) [4] [N46] Yakubo Mio {+13}, 13
Mio-chan. Ghibli-san! Got to give it up for a member stomping her own way into our hearts. Nogizaka's deep bench shows.

151. (115) [5] [N46] Higuchi Hina {+15}, 15
First Nogizaka 1ki to show up and it's Hina?!?! Eh?!? Again, Nogizaka's deep bench. So glad that she was allowed to shine in her last years as an idol. Damn I'm going to miss her impetuousness.
