    It’s strange without Acchan in an AKB single…(reminds me of no miruky in the newest NMB single..)

    Yuko lost to Aamin. Hope Sasshi beat Janken Queen

    Edit. She WON.

    To all the hardcore 48 fans whining about the loss of their top tier. DOOOOOMED AND NO ONE CARES!!!

    I’m happy to finally see a single where the other 50+ girls can shine. It may not be their best selling single, but at least at the top of their game, Japan will be able to see some girls that generally never get to be seen. 

  • blackdevil2722

    Well it’s just natural. You’ll be upset if your favourite lost right? Those “top tier” AKB48 girls were top for a reason, so don’t be so mean to the fans.

  • icehism

    Anyone whining about the popular members losing is probably not a real hardcore 48 fan lol.

  • nss7

    Umeechan, Reinyan won. Mayu lost

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1173575658 Kelvin Yong

    at least have sympathy? we are not whining…wouldnt you be upset if your fav lost?

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1173575658 Kelvin Yong

    Sato Sumire made it in!! :D now wheres Maeda Ami??

  • xdyeo

    Chiyuu is still in!

  • nss7

    Suuchan from Block D. Aamin in Block H.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=547001992 Kathleen Donahue

    As an Idol fan, I know how everything works. You have the top tier then everyone else. Which is why I love the concept of this senbatsu and wish more idol groups did it. My idles are that I’d rather have a team then a soloists with a bunch of back up dancers. I’ll give a little sympathy for those who have lost their favorites, but only a little because you know everything will be just as it was after this singles release. The top tier will return and the world will continue to spin. But it was a glorious time to see the top tier inactive while it was in effect.

  • nss7

    Damn Yuka lost. Kojiharu won. Now she is the only member that appear in all main single.

  • nss7

    Akicha out. Mariko won. Hope Miichan and Sasshi also won next round.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1173575658 Kelvin Yong

    Thanks~ :D

  • nss7

    Well the the main point of this singles is to give less known member to shine. I’m also sad my fav lose but at same time glad that management dont forget about other non-popular girls.

  • Anonymous

    No Aki and Jurina.. Sayaka and Rie in senbatsu..

    YYYYEEEESSSS!!

  • nss7

    Miichan beat Jurina. I’m so happy.

  • nss7

    What? So who won?

  • nss7

    Sayaka win again. Umechan lost to random member. Kojiharu lost, Mariko win. Miichan win

  • Anonymous

    I love Maeda and Jurina, but they lost already… at least the other girls would have a chance to be center
    … i would like to see Sayaka win!!! ^^

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=547001992 Kathleen Donahue

    A true AKB fan would be happy regardless. My only wish is that fans walk away with perhaps a new favorite instead of sulking and denouncing this single by saying they wont buy it or hope it fails. 

  • http://twitter.com/nowtomorrow4eva Janet S.

    how come takamina didn’t participate in this janken tournament?

    edit: didn’t realize she had aready lost against kojima

    oh well, would’ve hoped some of my bias to be involved in this single, but even if they’re not good luck to the ones that do get in

  • http://twitter.com/mlrlala m.

    yay sayaka, tomoomi and mii-chan for getting senbatsu-iri!

    good luck for the rest of the night, girls!!!!

  • Anonymous

     no, there is still PV for favorite member in double track, just like chance no Junban. Actually, I love this round, AKB48 has too many members to shine all, so, there’s a opportunity for them to shine. Acchan, Yukorin, Tomochin have enough sunshine.

    I’m still freaking upset that Miichan lost because she was so effing close. But it’s okay, Mariko is going to graduate soon. Give her some attention before she goes, at least.

  • blank_stare

    Fudge, I’m sad that Sayaka didn’t won. Damn. But congrats to those who one!!!

  • cuteandadorable

     i want 2 die LOVETAN should have won or at least got into senbatsu. Aamin or Suuchan would have made amazing centers but instead we have the 4th most popular member as the center. I love Mariko but a UG should have been center imo :/

    Edit: nvm it is now :)

  • bontakun

    Damn, I would have preferred Fujie Reina. Nothing against Shinoda Mariko, but she’s popular enough as it is with a ton of endorsement deals. Reinyan can use the extra boost and she has sufficient popularity to actually leverage and build on it unlike last year’s winner.

  • rtpaus3178

    Mariko was a nobody 5 years ago. Now she’s on top of the world lol. Congrats, she deserves it!! :)

    finally sayaka won acchan… :-(

  • whitish.iced

    Hey
    I don’t really understand.
    In the semi-finals, where Minegishi Minami was against Shinoda Mariko, shouldn’t Mariko had won?

  • nss7

    I personally think Mariko is better choice. Her populairty mainly comes from her activity outside AKB. Among all media senbatsu she is the only one dont have sub unit or solo singles. Besides, she might graduate months later since she already 25 years sold. Reinyan ranked 40th in last senbatsu election.

    Mariko is center!!!!! :D Therefore this single should be good.

    only thing i hated about last years’ janken single was the A-side song.. the team songs were so much better. If they wanna give the unpopular members some fame, at least make the song good.

    well damn..missed it all while i was asleep ._.  its unfortunate sayaka couldnt win, but reaching the quarter final is satisfying enough i suppose.

    and congrats to Mariko! I’n positive with her in at center the song/ pv will be good!

  • Anonymous

     A blessing decision. LMAO.
    Good luck, Mariko~

  • bontakun

    I know she hasn’t been center yet despite all her popularity, but I would not say that she deserves this simply because she seems to spend far more time on non-AKB activities. She already has her future outside of the group secured.

    But ah well, she won fair and square. Congrats all around anyway.

    A lot of Mariko-sama wotas are mad celebrating her win right now. Although my Oshimen didn’t even make it past the 1st round, I’m honestly happy for Mariko.

    Finally, a center for the oldest & most respected member of AKB48.

  • Redder

    They had the placement round after the event for no.3-8 (Since Kobayashi and Aamin can’t work after 10pm.since they are under18)
    The result is
    3rd Minegishi Minami
    4th Kobayashi Marina
    5th Akimoto Sayaka
    6th Oya Shizuka
    7th Maeda Ami
    8th Sato Sumire

    Actually, I’m probably more likely to buy this because Acchan isn’t in it, and because Sayaka and Mii-chan are in senbatsu, and Mariko-sama is center. There’s so much more to love about this single. <3

  • Bluebird

    OMFG Sayaka Akimoto WON against Acchan!

    I’m also spazzing at the fact that she got THIS far up to the quarter finals!

    So this means that she’s in the MEDIA senbatsu right? YAY!!

    Also congrats to Mariko. I heard that she was the oldest member of AKB48 right? She DEFINITELY deserved this.

    Fujie Reina 2nd! fuk yeah!!

  • Nants

    Well, this should appease all those Sayaka fangirls, and Mariko probably deserves center at least once. Maybe Reinyan will finally get a full push now. Oh, and SKE’s Mizuki is senbatsu, this should be pretty coo-

    “4th place – Kobayashi Marina”

    SINGLE CONFIRMED FOR TERRIBLE.

  • Mochi-chan

    that’s pretty much why people think she won lol~ mariko last year didn’t even care about janken. she tried to lose instead.

  • Krunchii

    What I like about this tournament is that there can be a different senbatsu and line up, there are certain members in AKB48 that are just way overexposed and other people deserve the spotlight once in a while, even if it means a little less sales. Sorry Acchan, but I was rooting for Minegishi Minami, good to see that she got far ;)

    Rest assured. I don’t feel sad at all that she’s lost. She’s got everything on the plates already so losing just this is nothing. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_RPEGTCNAB5XCHKFBSDJRNONY5M Jessica

    Even though my oshimen lost but I’m happy for Mariko Sama. I hope that she won’t graduate after this though. Now that Mariko won Aki-p should attempt to dig out a good single unlike last year where he half-assed it. 
    Kojiharu has amazing luck.

    i think this is a pretty fair, unbiased contest. it doesn’t matter how pretty u r, or how cool u r. u just have to win the tournament (rock, paper, scissors). i wish more groups had this type of system. the members from all areas get their motivations to work harder…. and also, congratulations to shinoda mariko!!!!

  • Anonymous

    i don’t think she is a k-pop fan. just because he/she hates j-pop doesn’t mean she likes k-pop. there is no pattern, or even an evidence. on the other article, i heard her touting on exile, so i don’t think she hates j-pop as a whole, but just akb48….

    While I agree with you 100%, it’s what makes AKB48, AKB48, so it’s great in that respect. (btw I like very few of their songs, but I know quite a few younger kids that love to sing a long to them, so I like them for that).

    1. She wouldn’t be #1 on the 3rd General Election and receive something like 130k votes.
    2. Most people just want other girls to have a chance to be center because after this single, Acchan will be back in the middle again regardless. It’s not a huge loss for her in any case.

    and welcome back, Chiyuu :x

  • AKBeauty

    I can tell your are not happy w/ the results, but you REALLY need to think, Those girls are going to be in AKB for a while and Acchan is ALWAYS center no matter what, so it was time for Mariko to be center, especially since she is probably going to be graduating with-in a year

  • http://twitter.com/GoGoSunshine Blanky Yumm

    Yeah I don’t hate her I just don’t think it’s fair to other members to always have to play second fiddle to someone (felt the same about Beyonce’s old girl group). Also she isn’t the only pretty member in the group.

    Congratulations Mariko!! As the eldest among the AKB members, she kind of deserved to be on the center this time. 
    Why does it have to be between Acchan & Sayaka, I love them both. but Actually I was rooting for Sayaka more.I really want her to be in the Media Senbatsu though It’s kind of sad coz I’m gonna miss Acchan. It’s her 1st time not to be in AKB Single.
    SO excited for their new Single..
