General Information

During the 3rd Concert of the 2-DAYS LIVE Show "Surprise wa Arimasen", it was announced by Togasaki-san that the Senbatsu Members for AKB48's 19th Single were going to be selected by a Janken Tournament (AKB48 19thシングル じゃんけん選抜大会, "AKB48 19th Single Janken Senbatsu Taikai" ) to be held at the Nippon Budoukan in September 21st.

Janken (じゃんけん) is the japanese name (and way, since like in most of the countries they have different rules) of the Rock, Scissors and Paper game.

All the 48 Members from AKB48 (minus Ono Erena who announced her graduation some minutes after this announcement) and 4 previously-selected Kenkyusei were randomly shuffled during the concert to decide the order of the matches.

The girl that wins the tournament will be center of the single. and then the top 2 will be the 2#, top 4# will be 3# and 4# and so on to decide the formation of the single (what means it'll be just like the Senbatsu Election). and finally, Senbatsu will consist of 16 Members (the Top 16).

Drastic Changes

This senbatsu was destined to show a never-seen before line up for AKB48. It was already certain that girls that never been part of senbatsu before or had only been part of it once (such as Maeda Ami, Oya Shizuka, Suzuki Mariya, Tanabe Miku, Kobayashi Marina or Nagao Mariya) had a big chance to be part to be at the front of the 19th single.

There was a three out of four chance that a Kenkyusei member (Kobayashi Marina or Nagao Mariya) would be part of senbatsu, marking it as the second time a Kenkyuusei members be featured in A-side (first time being Komori Mika in Namida Surprise!).

AKB48's ace Maeda Atsuko and Team B's ace Watanabe Mayu had been drawn in the same group, meaning that one of them wouldn't be included in senbatsu for the first time since their debut. This would be a shocking upset to what many fans have seen as the essential AKB48 senbatsu line up.

The same kind of upset happened in the 32~36# Group, were neither Takahashi Minami or Oshima Yuko won their matches which means it is the first time either of them have not been included in a AKB48 A-side release.

Confirmed Changes

Tournament Bracket

As decided in the Surprise wa Arimasen Concert's Encore, the final outcome for the bracket was...

Tournament Ceremony

The Tournament held in the Boudokan was a sold-out event, with a total attendance of 11,000 people. Like the most important AKB events, it was transmitted live through 29 Movie Theaters all over the country.

The tournament featured various celebrities as guests, including the most popular AKB celeb wota, Yama-chan who acted as referee.

Costumes

For the costumes, the girls were permitted to wear whatever they wanted. They could choose any AKB48 costume or even their own personal clothes.

Most of the members wore a costume that was treasured by them and held a significant importance like Masuda Yuka who wore MARIA's costume (MARIA is her only lead unit, and also a fan-favorite song) or Oshima Yuko wearing one of the Heavy Rotation costumes (the single were Yuko was elected 1# by the fans).

But this was not the case for everyone, since some members wore anything special at all. like Shinoda Mariko, who admitted in a PON! broadcast that since the management told them about the tournament date at short notice, she just used what she was wearing that day.

Final Outcome Review

Picture: Senbatsu (minus Maeda Ami and Maeda Atsuko)

The Resulted Senbatsu features 8 members that where never senbatsu before. including the Center winner, Uchida Mayumi.

The only Senbatsu Regulars included were Maeda Atsuko, Kasai Tomomi, Kojima Haruna and the recently promoted Takajyo Aki.

With Maeda and Kasai not being part of media senbatsu, both will take part of the back-positions of the dance formation and with almost no focus time (if any) in the Music Clip and Song. In Media Senbatsu positions, Takajo ended up at 8# while the highest Senbatsu Regular was Kojima, ranking at 3#.

Original Team K (2nd Gen.) and current Team B members, Sato Natsuki and Kobayashi Kana were featured in senbatsu for the first time since AKB48's 5th Single, Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou released 3 years ago.

Nakagawa Haruka's only senbatsu single was Heavy Rotation, in which she was elected by the fans through the 2nd Senbatsu Election and Kuramochi Asuka was only selected by the manager for 10nen Zakura, with her other senbatsu being also decided by the fans during the 1st Senbatsu Election.
