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

07. 114. (41) [8] [NMB] Umeyama Cocona{+20}, 20
It's the last time I can vote for my baby so although she graduated from the beginning of 2022 but I still give her 5 points. Koi to Ai no Sono Aida ni wa is also the best NMB48 song of 2022.

11. 120. (99) [4] [SKE] Suenaga Oka{+19}, 19
SKE48 Twintail Queen. Sadly this year she couldn't make it to top 100. 2 front-line single makes me look forward to Ouchan center single this year.

13. 190. (159) [2] [SH] Gui ChuChu{+10}, 10
A center single and most hard-working member of AKB48 TeamSH, she deserves more attention.

14. 104. (---) [7] [AKB] Mizushima Miyuu{+23}, 23
7 voters, I'm so happy for her. At first I noticed her solely because of her look but her serious personality makes me keep eye on this girl more. Can't wait for her promotion soon.

B! B! B!
19. 127. (164) [4] [NMB] Kuroda Fuuwa{+18}, 18

Maeda Reiko became my NMB48 oshi because of one particular photo lol. But! She's one of two NMB members I went to see for hanashikai, and she was so sweet and appreciative. When I told her she's my NMB oshi, she became super shocked.

Pupe is my BNK48 oshi, so it really hurts that she's graduated now. In my opinion, she is/was among the prettiest members in BNK. I'm glad she got an A-side center in the end for the 1st Gen Graduation single Jiwaru DAYS.

Hayashi Mirei really grew on me during her time as SKE's center. I know you're not supposed to blame/accredit success or failure of a single on the centre, but I really love the singles she centered and that's why I really like her now. I wish she were older, just because I get worried about super young girls, but I hope she will do well and has a good support system

 

Three today:

16. (+2) 114. (41) [8] [NMB] Umeyama Cocona {+20}, 20
I was sad and very surprised to see Cocona graduate, she'd been my NMB-oshi for less than a year after Miru's graduation. IMO it's far too soon for her to have left, hopefully it'll turn out to be the right choice for her.

12. (+3) 138. (192) [4] [SKE] Oba Mina {+17}, 17
I was also sad but this time not surprised to see my SKE-oshi graduate on turning 30, I'm simply grateful that she stayed in the group for so long. A few weeks ago she became the first ever of my 48G ex-top oshis to announce her marriage and I'm very pleased to report that my immediate reaction was one of genuine happiness for her.

07. (+5) 114. (99) [6] [STU] Ishida Chiho {+20}, 20
My STU-oshi and my favourite 48G sister group member. She's very sweet and charming as well as talented and it's great that she'll center the next single on her own.

Just to add that I missed Fujisaki Miyu 2 days ago, she's 20th in my list and 263 in the overall rankings. So 6 down and 14 to go for me:

Another day and, only three yet?
From my list, I did not expect to see my second NMB member in the Top100, but it seems that quite a few people here got an eye on her aside from me. Top50 tho, that would be tremendous..

Umeyama Cocona (115) & Kitano Hinako (123).. two women I would have definitely voted for. But for this years ranking I wanted to exclude all graduated members. Still expected Cocona to be Top100 though.

 

18. 114.(41) [8] [NMB] Umeyama Cocona{+20}, 20
Its so sad she leave on her prime, but im glad she's not ghosting us anymore..at least she have official fan club now

 

Seven more of my list

06. 120. (227) [3] [S46] Ozeki Rika {+19}, 19
09. 275. (206) [1] [S46] Seki Yumiko{+4}, 4
10. 120. (37) [2] [S46] Saito Fuyuka {+19}, 19
11. 138. (87) [4] [S46] Kosaka Marino {+17}, 17
12. 229. (77) [2] [S46] Endo Hikari{+7}, 7
13. 183. (144) [3] [S46] Onuma Akiho {+11}, 11
16. 114. (93) [7] [S46] Fujiyoshi Karin {+20}, 20
18. 127. (237) [5] [H46] Takahashi Mikuni {+18}, 18
20. 217. (153) [5] [N46] Yumiki Nao {+8}, 8

I didn't notice Yumiki Nao was already out the second day.. it surprised me a lot; I thought she had way more supporters in Nogi.
Another surprise was Mikuni so low... it's clear at this point the only group I'm really informed about is Sakura, but I really thought she'd rank higher.


Now about Sakuchans:

Karin -> is one of the faces of current Sakura. Great dancer, she's one of those shy, introvert, people who belong to the stage. I'm looking forward to see her shine more and more and perhaps snatch some good drama-role. Like many shy people, when she gets the timing right on SokoSaku, she becomes hilarous.

Akiho -> ...explaining Akiho is a task I'll never completely fullfill. She's everything one not expect an idol to be and yet she's perfect the way she is. Honest, strong, funny, absolutely original. Her songs are something else and so it has been her BAN performance on Back's live.. as soon as I saw her I thought she would have been a perfect hero for a really good manga, and this say something.

Marino -> Another of our Backs members... I'm not sure I like this system yet, but I'm glad she's finding a way to come out more on SokoSaku lately. Marino's DeathGame killed me, and her and Kira together are absolutely funny. I hope she'll grow more and become more self-confident. There's a lot she can give if she manages to break her shell fully.

Fuuchan -> If it was me chosing Keyaki captain all those years ago, I would have chosen Fuuchan and that hasn't changed. She's one of those people who keep fighting and fighting and never give up and yet helps everyone to raise themselves up. For Fuuchan the group always came first, she may never be one of the faces who would be recognized immediately; she's not Pon or Habu o Yuuka, but she held Keyaki's heart in her hands and protected it. Way before other members could become Sakura pillars in fans' eyes, she was the glue keeping the group together. I will always respect her for this.

Ozeki -> If I say "Ozeki" to any Sakura fan they would know what I mean without having to add anything else. She was this weird kid who broke every idol rule and looked like the wrong person in the wrong place at the worst moment ever... and yet I think there's no Keyaki/Saku fan who hasn't a soft spot for her. Ozeki is the weirdest big sister one could have and yet the best one to welcome new kids into the group. I just wish I could thank her for the love, energy and strength she poured in Keyaki and Sakura in these last 7 years. She graduated, but not before making our group a good place to grown in.

9/20 out

 

Update my list...

01. ... (+15)
02. ... (+10)
03. 127. (206) [4] [HKT] Matsumoto Hinata{+18}, 18 - It's sad to see her graduated, hope she will get more jobs under TRUSTAR.

07. ... (+5)
08. 158. (227) [4] [N46] Kanagawa Saya{+14}, 14 - She is in Fukujin for Ashu's grad single, a new Monday season regular ohopefully she will be a regular senbatsu member.

12. ... (+3)
13. 105. (144) [5] [H46] Kageyama Yuuka{+22}, 22 - I didn't actually see her on my oshi list until her appearance on WC 2022 broadcasting in abema tv. Her knowledge and analysis of football really amazed me, so after that, I started to follow her. She will at the top of my ranking for next year.
14. ... (+3)
15. ... (+2)
16. ... (+2)
17. 327. (---) [1] [HKT] Goto Hinano{+2}, 2
18. 114. (164) [6] [N46] Matsuo Miyu{+20}, 20 - She was given more spotlight in the 46 hour TV show, being the captain of her team on the show and her decision to enter college.
19. 190. (276) [3] [SKE] Takahata Yuki{+10}, 10 - Regular Senbatsu as usual + her own radio show.
20. 350. (---) [1] [BNK] Praewa Suthamphong{+1}, 1

 

Not a Sakura fan necessarily, but even I know who that is (I mean this in the best way possible)

 

A couple more names have come out, which coincidentally fills up my bottom 3, meaning my top 17 will be inside top 100.

18. 114. (99) [6] [STU] Ishida Chiho{+20}, 20 --- Happy to see her getting more opportunities to shine as a center, eventhough it means to take it away from one of my top oshi.
19. 217. (348) [2] [NGT] Nakai Rika{+8}, 8
20. 138. (192) [7] [SKE] Tani Marika{+17}, 17 --- Glad to see quite some numbers of people voted for her. Liked her since the short-lived HKT days, then her significance went downhill gradually in SKE, but I enjoyed her e-sport youtube videos last year.

Here are some names that are just missed out of my list:
114. (41) [8] [NMB] Umeyama Cocona{+20}, 20
109. (48) [4] [AKB] Kato Rena{+21}, 21

And once again, unsurprisingly, the most leap of ranking from last year in this 150-101 list is the NGT girls due to the absence of negative votes.

I lost 5 off my list today, Wada Maaya was kind of always in the back of N46 but still a large presence always fun and supportive of the team, another that I'll miss. Like Ozeki who really should have been on my list. At least with Hinako she is really active on YouTube. I love watching Sasaki Kumi on Hinatazaka de Aimashou, especially with her background quips at the hosts.

 

120. (99) [4] [SKE] Suenaga Oka {+19}, 19

Only one for me today!

Suenaga Oka: I gave her 3 points. Back when I decided to follow sister groups closely again, and SKE released Koi Ochi Flag, I barely knew any member except 5-6 all from older gens. and the girl who got my attention in the videos was Ouchan! and since then she's one of my SKE favs. She looks so cute and she performs well and I like her signature twintail hairstyle!

So with this, all the SKE members that I ranked (4 in total) appeared. There's also Mirei who I really wanted to vote for because she's a perfect ace/center and she had a great year, but then I thought my other SKE favs maybe need it more and in the end she did rank very well anyway, though I wish she made the top 100.

Btw I'm surprised that one of the NMB girls who I voted for made it to top 100 o_o and same for some of the AKB members I voted for... still 9/10 of my AKB votes didn't appear yet

 

I didn't vote for these members but just adding my two cents about their ranking...

I wish I had voted for her now that I see her name in there! I think she has a really soothing voice and is also really pretty. It's a shame her ranking dropped so much from the year before.

It feels like these two graduated much longer again than they actually did. I was surprised to see their names on the list of eligible members. Good for Annin that her ranking increased in its last year, shame for Renacchi that she dropped out of the Top 50, even Top 100. But maybe it's because others also felt like their graduation was so long ago...

Crazy to me that Hinata's ace is so low in the rankings! She was the center of Boku Nanka after giving the center position up for one single (due to health related hiatus), and it's probably one of my favourite 4846G ballads of all time.

 

Here's my ranking so far. I'm surprised at some of these results! I didn't expect to see Senatan with 11 points, nor did I expect to see Kanemura with only 6. Kanemura is popular on Twitter and the Hinatazaka discord server, but I guess not as much here.
I also expected Nibu to be higher. I think she had the best photobook of 2022, and she's so charming.
Yuzuki used to be my all-48 oshimen, but she's fallen for me over the years. It's a shame that I don't feel as invested, because I can see that she and the SKE girls are working so hard. Yuzuki's unit in the Jikan ga Nai stage is excellent too.

Looking back at my rankings, I regret not throwing in a vote for my Nogizaka oshimen Okuda Iroha, or my 17th Gen KKS oshimen Hatakeyama Nozomi. I'm glad to see they both ranked well though!

 

Okay, so in the newest ranking release, there are three girls from my list!
120. (99) [4] [SKE] Suenaga Oka {+19}, 19
She is my SKE oshi and by joke I'm naming her "SKE's Yuiyui" In general I'm quite upset, that she is not getting enough attention in SKE, but it is what it is.

105. (124) [5] [NMB] Lee Siyeon {+22}, 22
She's really doing a good job. Finally something good from Korea for 48 groups, not only people running away and graduation wave.

127. (48) [5] [H46] Kosaka Nao {+18}, 18
For being the center of my favourite 48/46 2022 song - Boku Nanka

About who I've forget to vote?
Kuroda Fuuwa... I've voted too fast and she should get almost about 4 or more points from me

A bunch of mine including my Top 2 appeared this time

1. 127. (144) [4] [CGM] Izuta Rina {+18}, 18 - She is my favourite. She is funny and talented. She seems to be quite popular in Thailand. I'm happy she was selected for the Senbatsu of 2565. She is very passionate and always gives a 100%.
2. 144. (174) [2] [SKE] Ida Reona {+16}, 16 - I'm happy I'm not the only one that voted for her. I like her Instagram a lot. She is beautiful and talented. It's a shame, she isn't more popular.

13. 144. (182) [3] [AKB] Sato Kiara {+16}, 16 - I kinda forgot about her, but she appeared again on my radar this year. She is funny and her chemistry with her sister is great.
14.
15.
16. 104. (---) [7] [AKB] Mizushima Miyuu {+23}, 23 - She is not only good looking, but also seems smart. I like her savage personality she sometimes shows on Sayonara Mori-san, especially in the episodes with the "OG-Members".
17.
18. 350. (---) [1] [TP] Fujii Mayu {+1}, 1
19. 105. (124) [5] [NMB] Lee Siyeon {+22}, 22 - She is the only NMB48 member I'm interested in at the moment. She seems very determined and serious about being an Idol and being part of NMB48. I hope she will be selected for Senbatsu this year.
20. 190. (174) [2] [AKB] Shinozaki Ayana {+10}, 10

 

I didn't think about this but same, I would love if there's a single with Ouchan as center this year, she would definitely get a lot more popular

I didn't include any graduate in my ranking this year, I like enough of the current members, so I wanted to support those who are active. but if I included graduates, I would have voted Renacchi for sure, she was one of my favorite members I think it's normal that she ranked down since she left long ago, it's more surprising when a graduate ranks up like Annin o_o

Yes!! I love her unit too it makes me happy seeing people talk about the Jikan ga Nai stage lol I need everyone to watch it, it's just so good!!


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

Oh I know exactly who I hope she, miraculously, makes to the Top50. Though it's seems unlikely. Damn, I should have ranked her higher

I also excluded all idols who are graduated at this point, but still - this list feels to short and not right, but at the same it does. This yearly ranking is a true love-hate relationship

 

109. (---) [2] [HKT] Motomura Aoi {+21}, 21

Only two Aoi enjoyers?!?

Glad I put that +15 in the bank, suckers

 

It shows how much it matters if just one person puts someone in 1st place - 4 voters, and if you put her in first place, that leaves 3 others voters and 3 points, which means the others all gave her +1 each!

 

Thanks for organizing this
Its nice to know there are more participants this year, the more the merrier!
