AKB48 Request Hour Day 5 (6th April)

Yesterday finally was the last day of AKB48's Request Hour Best 200, the places 100-50 were performed in Saitama Super Arena! The places 200-101 were already performed back in January, so the exitement was a bit less now (especially after the big shuffle). Well, after finding an audio stream the exitement was back and it was a tense concert with many surprises.. Actually, I wondered how they can perform 100 songs in 1 day. Well, AKB48 is awesome so they can do everything (lol). But yeah, they had the day divided into two parts. So let's look at part 1 first:

First of all I'm very happy that Doro no Metronome (my favourite HKT song) got ranked here! I love that song so much. But Two roses and especially Team B Oshi (which is such a fan favourite..) dropped SOOOO much! :o Shonichi, Omoide Ijou, Jungle Gym.. So many songs that deserved to be much higher here! But I'm happy that Kurukurupa is still ranking.. xD And Temodemo namida with Yuki and Sasshi? cool xD Sorry, but the first part is a bit underwhelming..

Now it gets more exciting with the top50.. Heart Ereki so low? Didn't some people think it would be number1? I'm very happy that Sunglasses to Uchiakebanashi, Yume no Dead Body, Kimi dake ni Chu!Chu!Chu!, ONEW no Uwabaki and Dakishimechaikenai ranked so high, because I love these songs. And didn't I say they would vote for Sayanee's new solo song? But I'm surprised Lemon's song is so high.. xDBut then the shock, Heavy Rotation at 39!! o.O WTF? And Yuko chose Mion as center, which is pretty cool (I mean, she could have centered it herself, but she is so nice to the young members..).Then Kimi no Hitomi wa Planetarium, Bara no Kajitsu, Zipper and Escape.. Thes esongs are so damn cool! But why did Kareha no Station drop? :( And Hashire Penguin.. hello?????It's cool that Ice no Kuchizuke ranked so high. I'm happy for Aimi, errr, I mean Yukari!! xDAmina came back for Kondo Koso Extacy, Yuko performed Nakigara Hohoende and Mariko came back for Ue kara Mariko.. And don't forget that Acchan and Tomochin came to the stage..It's also awesome that Choose me ranked so high, it's such a beautiful song! *-* The same with Dazai Osamu wo Yonda ka? being at number 7. Yossh!!And then comes my song. One of my favourite Songs. The song I voted for. The song that represents one girl. The song that represents one of my favourite girls: Kiseki wa ma ni Awanai. Yep, Sae-chan remains in the top10. She dropped a few places, but she's still the highest stage song!! xDSeems like Akicha's fans got together and voted for Kimi no Koto ga Suki dakara so that it's now top5. Interestingly, HKT48's Kimi no Koto ga Suki yaken already ranked at 69.. Well, seems like the fans love that song.. Koko de ippatsu is number4. WTH? OMG, that's so cool.. Dasu and Tsuma did it, they not only have the highest ranked SKE song, but also the highest unit song! xDNumber 3 is Koisuru Fortune Cookie. Oh, really? I was actually one of the persons that thought it would be number 1 (even though I hoped it would be Suzukake nanchara.. or even Kiseki.. xP) Well, it isn't that bad.. Than at number 2 comes Suzukake Nanchara!! Yeah!! Jurina's fans are awesome.. But I guess do tue the fact that the voting tickets were included in this single and many Jurina fans bought the SINGLE because of her, they all voted for that song.. ;) Aaaaaaand after last years number 1, which was Old Team 4, Seijun Philosophy by the new Team 4 is now the number 1!!!! I'm happy for Miichan &co and I have to say that I love this song. Okay, it perhaps isn't as catchy as the winenrs before, but it's still a pretty nice song!! :)About the announcements: A horror movie? This will be interesting!! xDAnd there will be revivals of old stages now.. Oh why can't we have new stages???? *facepalm*So yeah, all in all I have to say that especially the lat half was pretty interesting! xDI love these events and I wished they had a live stream. But I'm looking forward to the Sousenkyou.. There will definetely be a live stream, right??? ;)

EN04. Koisuru Fortune Cookie
EN05. Heavy Rotation

First off, what's UZA doing so low??? o.O Seems like I'm really in the minority of liking this song to death. xP Well, what I'm really happy about is that Tano Yuka is in this line-up. Yosh!! And she even is in Tomochin's position, isn't that great???
Yuko luckily got to sing Plastic no Kuchibiru in Mariko-sama's place. Honestly, Jurina would have also been fine, but I'm happy that Yuko was able to sing this song once in her carreer. Sadly, it dropped almost 100 places.. graduation..
But why is Sasae so low. I almost voted for it but hoped it would rank high. But it seems without Twintower fans (who probably always voted a lot for it) there aren't that many voters.. And they probably feared it wouldn't be performed by the original members.. which sadly happened. But if you think about only five people singing the songs, I think it's better that Oshima Team K got to sing the song, especially since that Team is also awesome.. Then we also find Through the Night here, which is so awesome for Deguchi & co. I still love the song and am happy that so many SKE fans like the song, too! :D (or the members.. or the theme..) There's also Glory Days, such an adorable song, but like I said about Jyuri and Darkness, Jurina's fans are probably just voting for Omoide and Suzukake!!
Sadly, Teppen Totande didn't rank in the top100. Damn, this song is so NMBish and it really marks their approach to the top.. So sad, soo sad..
What a revival of SONE??? WTF?? xxD OMG, that's sooo cool!! Like, really they are made up of the funniest members everrrr!! Myao and Miichan, Kitarie and Sasshi.. This can't get wrong. Just listen to this, it's so freaking funny. xD
But now onto a rather sad thing: Mushi no Ballad dropped 101 places. :o Well, with Sayaka's graduation there wasn't a need to vote for it anymore.. I guess. But still, it's such an amazing song! And I don't know what I should think about Nyan doing it.. I would be happier if Ume-chan or Mocchi did it, but yeah. Haruna is also a good singer, so it's alright.. :)
Lastly, Kodoku na runner ranked and was performed by Team A.. Well, I look forward to see Yuka in this, but why no SDN? :( Still, such an awesome song, and I guess Yuuwaku no Garter will rank in top100. ;)
Also with this it's clear, that the song I voted for is in Top100!! Yeay :D

Oh wait, let's not forget to talk about the announcement!! A shuffle? Like, a real big 48group shuffle?? :o Well, if that means that Sae-chan comes back to AKB48 (she mentioned she feels lonely nowadays and wants to see the members.. and she looks forward to it, so it's possible^^) I'm all for it. 
But I hate the whole ''This is to save Team K'' talking. Damn, if you don't push these amazing girls, how should they become popular?? And some of them are already popular. Yagi and Tomu even went higher in sousenkyou last year. Definetely higher than Kato Rena, who didn't rank at all.. or all the little 14th and 15th generations.. And there are still so many other amazing members like Mocchi, Kitarie, Myao, Abemari etc.. They already have a great bond, so please don't destroy that.. And also please don't tear the sister groups apart, HKT just had their shuffle.. -.-
But except for that I'm open-minded to this shuffle.. How about Yuka and Moe to Team K? And perhaps the three musketeers to the teams A, K and B.. And what about Team 4? :D This is already exciting and I can't wait for it!!!
