Chapter 266: The Uncrowned King (Asking for a Monthly Pass on National Day)
However, Itano's words also made the atmosphere of the scene slightly lighter, and this ease did not last long before it was broken, because the top three were about to be revealed. The three girls sitting in the middle, Yuko Oshima, Atsuko Maeda, and Mai Oshima, are undoubtedly the three brightest pearls among the AKB48 members!
In the past two years, Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima have reached the top twice and finished third twice, while Mai Oshima is the runner-up for two consecutive years, and each time she can cause very big problems for Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima, but every time she passes by the championship! Still, no one can ignore Mai Oshima, who is one of the three kings of the AKB!
The camera at the scene was aimed at the three girls in the middle, Yuko Oshima looked solemn, Atsuko Maeda lowered her head and did not let the camera capture her expression, while Mai Oshima was nervous, only she knew that this year was her best chance and the last chance!
AKB48's 22nd single finished 3rd in the overall election, and the number of votes 201224 votes! AKB48teamK Yuko Oshima! ”
200,000 votes is a staggering number, basically double that of Mayu Watanabe, who is in fifth place. Yuko Oshima shed unwilling tears, and this time she was once again lost to Atsuko Maeda and Mai Oshima. She attaches great importance to this general election, because even she herself has a hunch that this may be the pinnacle of the showdown between the three of them! Maybe the AKB48 general election system will continue in the future, but there will definitely not be a fierce confrontation like this year in the future, at least in her heart Yuko Oshima, there is no one else except Mai Oshima and Atsuko Maeda who can be her opponent!
Kagawa Yu sighed softly after watching Yuko Oshima hold back tears and walk onto the stage. He didn't say anything to Yuko Oshima, he knew that Yuko Oshima was not a fragile person. Failure after failure only made her stronger and stronger!
"Thank you, to be honest, this feeling of being pulled off the throne is really very bad, I know everyone has done their best, I'm glad that I can compete with Maimai and A-chan in these three years, and the competition between us has made us stronger, so I will continue to work hard! Next year, I hope to be at the top of AKB again! Thank you. I'm Yuko Oshima! Yuko Oshima's tone was very unwilling, but she still left an uplifting speech!
Finally, the final suspense is about to be revealed, Mai Oshima or Atsuko Maeda! The two of them were separated by a chair, which was Yuko Oshima's chair just now, and in the middle of them was the throne that symbolized the supreme honor of AKB48! Whoever can become the ultimate king will ascend to the supreme chair; None of the two girls wanted to show themselves up at this time, and while second place sounded good, no one wanted the loser who was closest to success!
AKB48's 22nd single selection ranked second in the overall election with 210,750 votes! AKB48teamA Mai Oshima! ”
When Mai Oshima's name appears. Except for a moment of silence; Soon the fans at the scene burst into applause, and Atsuko Maeda raised her head for the first time, knowing that she had finally succeeded in revenge! But now the protagonist is not her, but the girl with a slightly lonely and sad back, three runners-up in three general elections, everyone can feel that girl's desire for the championship, but sometimes it's so cruel, every time she is so close to the championship. But every time she misses out on the championship throne!
Mai Oshima walked on the stage gently, and Kagawa Yu couldn't bear to see this persistent but sad look. Mai Oshima held back her tears and didn't let her tears stay, but it was this pretended strong performance that made everyone on the scene and in front of the TV feel that kind of pathos, unforgettable pathos.
After Mai Oshima received the trophy from Kagawa Ha's hand, she walked to the front of the microphone without saying a word, looking at the fans and members in the audience, Mai Oshima's face showed a smile. Then tears welled up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry! I wanted everyone to see my strong side, but the damn tears flowed down my sleeve! ”
“maimai!maimai! maimai! The fans at the scene collectively chanted Mai Oshima's nickname and cheered for this girl!
Mai Oshima waved her hand gently, and the scene immediately became very quiet, and then Mai Oshima made a very surprising move. She slowly walked to the throne of champions and kissed it gently! Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help shedding tears, they finally knew how much this girl longed for the championship, and the sadness of pursuing her dream but finally falling before the finish line was a kind of helplessness and pathos that ordinary people could not understand.
"I entered AKB48 in 2005, and today I deliberately wore the concert when we participated in the first performance, and at that time everyone worked hard with their own dreams, and then Yuko and the others joined, and we were all thinking about it; Is it enough to have our group soon? Sure enough, it turned out that it was not enough to have our group; In the space of five and a half years, AKB has finally become a national idol, and there are only eight of us left, including A-chan, Tomochin, Gamko, Yona, Na-chan, Mi-chan, Mariko, and me. Speaking of this, Mai Oshima suddenly paused"
The fans and members at the scene suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"This year is my last general election, and I, Mai Oshima, will officially graduate from AKB48!"
Fans at the scene screamed, and after Yuko Oshima, Tomomi Itano, Yoona Kojima and other members heard Mai Oshima's graduation announcement, tears flowed uncontrollably. Atsuko Maeda in the audience covered her face with her hands, tears overflowed from between her fingers, she finally understood, why Mai Oshima kissed the champion throne, it was unprecedented unwillingness and reluctance! Before that, only Mai Oshima herself knew that she might not be able to sit on the AKB general election championship for the rest of her life, but now everyone knows!
"I know that my choice may not be acceptable, I am very grateful to everyone in AKB48, you have made me feel a precious friendship, and thank you for your support for more than five years, please continue to support me in the future, please continue to support me in my personal debut, and please continue to support AKB48, thank you!"
