I am not really surprised to see Acchan reclaim the top spot from Yuko. I knew the legions of Acchan fas probably hated to not see their oshimen on top again, and so they came back with a vengeance. And a  whopping 17,049 votes seperate Yuko from Acchan.

What I do find surprising is to see Jurina drop 4 spots and have Rena beat her. I always thought Jurina was the most popular of the two Matsuis.

I also found it surprising that Itano Tomomi dropped from 4th to 8th. I thought she would have risen, or at least stayed the same, with all the solo work she's been doing.

Every member in the media senbatsu and senbatsu were pretty obvious. Pretty much all the popular girls and nearly every member who is in a sub-group made it to this level. I'm pretty happy about Sato Amina staying in the senbatsu. Amina has one of the cutest singing voices I have ever heard. We don't see her nearly enough.

Thankfully all the members that I like, or an starting to like, made it to the senbatsu. Watanabe Mayu, Takahashi Minami, Miyazawa Sae, Akimoto Sayaka are obviously popular but I'm still excited none the less.

I'm a little sad to see that Ota Aika and Miyazaki Miho are in the Under Girls. Last year Miho was in Senbatsu and Aika was the center of the Under Girls. I just think both Lovetan and Myao are cuties and deserve to be featured in the A-side more.


Here's a short video of the results.

Why was everyone crying so much in the video?

AimxAim said...

They are crying because no one knows what number that they will place at, or if they will place at all. So, the members are crying because they are happy about their ranking. There's also probably some tears for ranking low.

Seems like a long selection process. How long was the show all together? Is there a place on the web where I can see the whole election.

I'm not sure how long the actual show was. I think it was like half hour to an hour.

You can watch the election videos on youtube. Just paste this: 有吉AKB共和国 緊急生放送SP 選抜総 into youtube. And you'll find the videos. However, they probabaly won't be up for much longer. And I'm not sure all the videos are there or in order.
