− | The 'center' format is not always used in singles, so the center could be shared between two people - known as a W Center (Wセンター)- or the single could have no center and fairly distribute the position between different members. Contrary to some beliefs, center doesn't necessarily refer to one girl or the girl with the highest amount of focus in promotional videos. Center usually refers to the girl/s whom the dance formation gives greater focus on. The latest single [[Sayonara Crawl]] proved that even a four member shared center spot can be a possibility, with the majority of the dance formation giving equal focus on four different members. While center was used since the early days in AKB48, there was less focus on the term and not as much public and media attention. Since 2012, center has had a bigger impact than it used to, with different girls battling from each group to earn this title. | + | The 'center' format is not always used in singles, so the center could be shared between two people - known as a W Center (Wセンター)- or the single could have no center and fairly distribute the position between different members.
