77 Yoshida Akari NMB48 Team N (13,512) (64)
I like Akari, so it saddens me to see her dropping.. and I don't really get it, because she is quite popular. I also really like her YouTube Channel xD

Miichan still didn't make it to senbatsu, but Undergirls center is nice :D
Senbatsu
16 Nyan Nyan Kamen (Kojima Haruna) (40,071) (NEW)
I like Kojiharu, but the whole Nyan Nyan Kamen was a bit annyoing if you ask me.. Well, but I'm okay with her place and she FINALLY (oh gosh, finallyy) announced her graduation. She's an awesome member, but she has been hinting it for 2 years, so I'm not surprised and actually relieved to see her ending her Idol career.
15 Takahashi Juri AKB48 Team 4 (40,648) (25)
The biggest surprise for me in senbatsu!! Expected Mako or Annin, but it's cool to see how far Juri has gotten.
14 Okada Nana AKB48 Team 4 (43,318) (29)
And I'm sooo freaking happy for Nana. *scries* She is so awesome and wow, I still can't believe she's in senbatsu. Her speech was really touching, especially the part about her taking a break because of an eating disorder. :o But I'm happy to see her happy now and hope she will take care of herself..
13 Mukaichi Mion AKB48 Team K (47,094) (44)
And Mion in the house! Cool, to see her and now she doesn't have to feel bad about being center :)
12 Kitahara Rie NGT48 Team NIII (50,190) (11)
Kitarie ropped a place and is the highest NGT member. I'm so happy for the 'new' Rie push and how she's so stable in senbatsu again *-*
11 Yokoyama Yui AKB48 Team A (58,610) (10)
First time as the soukantoku!! Yuihan!
10 Muto Tomu AKB48 Team K (58,624) (16)
Tomu in top10! That's really cool and she came sooooo far..
That's why I love AKB!
09 Kodama Haruka HKT48 Team H/ AKB48 Team K (60,591) (17)
And Haruppi finally in senbatsu. I exüected that and I'm so happy for her!!
08 Shimazaki Haruka AKB48 Team A (68,126) (09)
With Paruru not being so active, this is a really good spot. But it was probably her last sousenkyo.. which is sad, but I hope she will stay in the group for a bit longer!
07 Suda Akari SKE48 Team E (69,159) (18)
And THE BEST THING EVER. Akari didn't only get back into senbatsu and top10. No, she got into KAMI7. YES, she is a god now!! Really, I'm so amazed by this girl, SKE fans and wow.. Idols are amazing *cries forever*
06 Miyawaki Sakura HKT48 Team KIV/ AKB48 Team A (78,279) (07)
Sakura wanted 5, but got 6.. That's a bit frustrating :/ But, your time will come, cutie!!
05 Kashiwagi Yuki AKB48 Team B/ NGT48 Team NIII (92,110) (02)
Yukirin is at 5 now. After her awesome 2nd place last year, this doesn't surprise me..
04 Yamamoto Sayaka NMB48 Team N (110,411) (06)
Sayanee is climbing. She will soon be on top!
03 Matsui Jurina SKE48 Team S (112,341) (05)
And Jurina is where I expected her to be! I voted for her and was also hoping for 2nd place. But I knew, that she is still far away from that.. and now with Sayanee coming closer, it's getting really excited. Let's see what happens next year, but I'm happy to hear she won't graduate soon XD
02 Watanabe Mayu AKB48 Team B (175,613) (03)
And yes, second is Mayuyu!! You know that I like Sasshi more, but I still love Mayu, too!
01 Sashihara Rino HKT48 Team H (243,011) (01)
HOLYYYY QUEEEN SASSSSSHIII!!
Yessss, she did the impossible. She not only became center the most, she also did it two years after each other. Wauuuuwww, I'm so happy. And look at these votes :o
Sooo excited for this single!!
All in all this was a really good sousenkyo. I liked it a looot more than last year, because there were so many new faces and I love the new girls. And the senbatsu has Dasu, Haruppi, Nana and more. And Jurina is finally 3rd *-*
The only thing that I'm reaaaaally sad about, is Tano not ranking.. What happened to her and her fans? :'( I don't get it, but this really makes me want to vote for her next year. Let's do that!!!!!
A lot of members didn't participate (Milky, Aya and Kaotan) which was a bit sad, but made new space for other members. It was really cool to watch my 4th Election!! :D
I will be in Japan next year, which is still unbelievable, and I can't wait to see the sousenkyo there.. Even if I may not be at the concert, I will definetely watch it somehow! :3
That's it for now, what an exciting time to be an 48group fan!
