On May 8, AKB48 members Takahashi Minami, Watanabe Mayu, Kojima Haruna, and Kashiwagi Yuki held a press conference for the '6th Senbatsu Election' at Tokyo Sky Tree Town Soramachi.


This year, AKB48 will hold the event on June 7 at Ajinomoto Stadium. The following day (June 8), the replacement for their National Olympic concert, which was scheduled to be held on March 30 but was canceled due to story weather, will be held at the same venue. As the two events will be held outdoors during the rainy season, a large 'teru teru bozu' was prepared to pray for good weather. �


Takahashi joked, "Both�Kashiwagi-san and Watanabe-san are ame-onna (a woman whose presence brings rain). If that's the case, they can take a rest..." In response, the two objected, "Why? We should take a rest from the election?" Takahashi then said, "Whether it be the election or [Oshima] Yuko's finale, by all means, I want it to be sunny, so I want to exclude all possibilities of rain."�


After drawing in the eye of the 'teru teru bozu', Mayuyu introduced it, "His name is 'Seiten-kun' (fine weather)!" and explained, "Inside of his mouth are the characters 'seiten' (fine weather). I wrote this while praying for fine weather on June 7 and 8 at Ajinomoto Stadium."�
