Chapter 358: Domineering Mariko!

Yona Kojima's ridiculous speech made the tense atmosphere a little lighter, but soon with the announcement of the 7th place, this relaxation disappeared again.

"AKB48's 27th single ranked 7th with 71,248 votes! AKB48teamA Takahashi Minami! ”

Hearing Minami Takahashi's name appear, Atsuko Maeda sighed with a little regret backstage, but quickly turned her attention to Minami Takahashi on the stage.

Minami Takahashi is much stronger than last year, but the tears are still flowing down, and when she hugged Mai Oshima, her tears were all wiped on Mai Oshima's chest.

"Thank you very much, the number of votes is 48, a number that I really like. For myself, this year has been a year full of events, although the time is only half a year. To be honest, I don't know how many times I felt that I couldn't do it anymore and couldn't hold on, but if that was the case, there would be a lot of people who would come out to stop me, so I persevered in the past 7 years. But there is no beginning without effort, for me, hard work means infinite possibilities, such rankings are very annoying, what is it for! But this kind of sequencing is also a scale for us, allowing us to know our position and hone ourselves more continuously. The so-called AKB is not all about making people happy, and to be honest, sometimes I suffer more. But hard work will make us cross these difficulties, so I want to continue, allow me to repeat this sentence here: hard work will pay off, and I will use my life to prove it! Thank you! ”

After Minami Takahashi's testimonial, Kazuo Tokumitsu and Ayako Kisa gave an evaluation of Minami Takahashi's efforts in the past year or so, and of course the evaluations at this time were very high. Atsuko Maeda in the background, but she kept wiping her tears. In sixth place behind Minami Takahashi is Yuki Kashiwagi in Group B, and the girl may have made great strides in this year, reaching a staggering 75,000 votes.

Yuki Kashiwagi was very happy that she was able to win the top six, and the girl always had a faint smile on her face when she gave her speech.

After her, Mariko Shinoda has been under a lot of pressure. Finally, the phoenix nirvana, from last year's top ten, to the top five. After walking on stage, she and Mai Oshima hugged each other deeply, and Mai Oshima gave her a lot of support and encouragement for more than a year, so Mariko Shinoda can be said to be very grateful to Mai Oshima, and when she first entered AKB, her relationship with Mai Oshima can be said to be very bad. But the truth is impermanent, and the relationship between the two people in the later stage is very good.

After hugging Mai Oshima, Mariko Shinoda turned around and faced the fans and members in the audience. Suddenly laughed.

"Thank you for giving me such a good position, and I can probably feel the warmth that everyone brings me with such gratitude, and I don't hate the general election. But it's not because I'm confident, it's because I'm not confident, and I've been uneasy until today. There have been sleepless nights, but I was able to hear everyone's warm support and feel everyone's warm hearts. Today, in this day full of tension. I feel like this is a day when I have grown."

At this point, Mariko Shinoda suddenly stopped, as if she was thinking about what she should say. In the background, Kagawa Yu, Togasaki Tomonobu, and Maeda Atsuko quietly looked at Mariko Shinoda. At that moment, there was a sudden bad feeling in their hearts, and the look of Nami Okumana, who was sitting in the audience, became panicked!

She didn't want to hear the last thing she wanted to hear right now.

"Some people may say that they should give up a place for juniors, but I think that the members who need me to give up their position before they can go up will not win in AKB!"

After this sentence came out, the scene was in an uproar. Some of the younger members' faces became very pale and unsightly; Yuko Oshima nodded gently. An incomparably bright and sunny smile appeared on Okumanami's face, Mai Oshima was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head with a wry smile, this is Mariko's style!

"What I like the most is the group called AKB48 that everyone created together, so I hope that the younger generations can grow up. You will definitely be very unwilling, and to be honest, I am not reconciled by shock right now. But with this unwilling feeling, please come to us as seniors, and bring our thoughts to us! I'll be waiting for you! Mariko Shinoda said coldly.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and the other members were unusually quiet looking at the domineering figure in the center of the stage.

On the lower stage panels, Notomomi and Yuko Oshima had smiles on their faces at the same time, if she wasn't so domineering, she wouldn't be the unruly queen.

"Mariko is right, if you really want to come up, then please step over us." Itano muttered.

Background.

"Mariko is really still Marizi, but these words are really good, it's really relieving!" Kagawa couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Kagawa-san is calm, it's not good to be heard by others." Togasaki Tomoshin persuaded.

Kagawa Yu glanced at him, "Togasaki-san, I'm just cheering for my artists, there's no problem, right?" Are you right? Maeda. ”

"Well, Kagawa-san has a point, but I'm going to get ready to give trophies and flowers to the champion." Atsuko Maeda nodded.

"Then you go about your own business."

Because of Mariko Shinoda's domineering and aggressive speech, the atmosphere at the scene cooled down for a while, and in the end, it was Kazuo Tokumitsu who barely said a few words to bring people's attention back to the general election, but it was clear that Mariko Shinoda's words had a great impact among the members, although she didn't say who the juniors who asked her to step up were who they were, but the members and fans knew it.

After Mariko Shinoda, the tense moment came again, leaving the most likely members to make it into the top four, Yuko Oshima, Itano Tomome, Okamami and Watanabe Mayu, none of whom wanted to be called by their names at this time, especially Itano Tomomi. If this time it is still fourth, then the level of pathos can be compared to Mai Oshima, who has been runner-up three times in a row! (To be continued......)
