Unlike HKT48, the girls of NMB48 and SKE48 are full of expectations for this general election, and both teams also regard each other as opponents, and the two girls, Aya Yamamoto and Matsui Jurina, also know the importance of this general election, they are not as good as AKB48, and they do not disdain to compare with the young HKT48. But definitely want to overpower each other!

6th, Budokan

Almost all the girls who signed up for the general election were waiting nervously in the background, and the emcees of this year's general election were Kazuo Tokumitsu and Ayako Kisasa.

Backstage, Takahashi Minami glanced at the other members around him, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy. The general election without Atsuko Maeda and Mai Oshima is always a little unaccustomed, Yona Kojima saw Minami Takahashi's gaze, and sighed secretly in her heart, there have been fewer and fewer members at the same time as him this year, and now only the two of them are left in Group A.

Yuko Oshima's heart is also a little empty, the two people who killed him in the dark a few years ago have retreated one after another, and now she is the only one left, which will make people feel a little lonely.

Girls such as Mariko Shinoda, Yumi Itano, Mayu Watanabe, and Nami Okumanami all have their own thoughts, because of the tense atmosphere before the war, the members don't want to talk, and the originally lively backstage seems very quiet

Fuji TV live broadcast room.

Mai Oshima, Atsuko Maeda, Yoshinori Kobayashi, Hiroyuki Ariyoshi, and MC Takashi Okamura are also preparing for the live broadcast of the general election program.

The general election officially began at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is expected to end until about 8 o'clock, with nearly four hours of live broadcast, which is a large amount of live broadcast for Fuji TV.

"How did you feel about the first time you were here to watch the general election?" Takashi Okamura first threw the topic to Mai Oshima and Atsuko Maeda.

"To be honest, I'm a little unaccustomed to it, but watching the general election here does have a different feeling." Mai Oshima said with a smile.

"I'm pretty much the same, in previous years, the nervous hearts of people sitting in the audience had to jump out of their chests. This year has been relatively relaxed and relaxed. Atsuko Maeda said lightly.

"Maimai-san won the runner-up in the general election for three consecutive years, this result is basically unprecedented, no one has come since, what is the change in your heart in the three general elections?" Ariyoshi asked.

"There was a little disappointment in the first session, but also a little joy. To be honest, I was too unwilling in my heart to be honest, and I could accept losing to A-chan, Tomochin, and Mariko. But he is never willing to accept losing to Yuko, because from the beginning of AKB's establishment, the relationship between Group A and Group K is a competitive relationship! After that loss, I didn't sleep well for days. Mai Oshima said.

"I was the same that year, I couldn't figure out why I fell from the previous championship to the third place in the second year, basically I didn't sleep well for a month after the general election, and I basically didn't think about other things during that time, all my thoughts were put on regret and unwillingness." Atsuko Maeda heard this and agreed.

"The third year was actually my best chance. More than 10,000 votes for these two guys in the quick report, but in the end I lost to A-chan, you really can't understand what I was feeling at the time? Basically, there is no love in life. Mai Oshima smiled, but there was a hint of unwillingness in her tone.

"In fact, last year's general election, I think, was the most exciting general election since the founding of AKB. Maeda-san, Oshima-san, and Yuko-san all exceeded 200,000 votes, and the gap between them was very small, and the fourth-place Itano-san also had more than 150,000 votes, far surpassing Watanabe-san and Oku-san behind them. The strong rise of Watanabe-san and Oku-san also announced their ACE position among the young members, coupled with Miyazawa-san's oolong incident and Oshima-san's graduation. Last year's general election was full of ups and downs. Kobayashi Yoshifan interjected.

"What are the expectations and thoughts of the four of you for this year's general election?" Takashi Okamura asked.

The first to speak was Yoshifan Kobayashi, a die-hard AKB fan.

"This year's general election was restructured, and the number of people in the circle was 64. However, the number of candidates has been reduced to 16, and members who have been on the selection list in previous years are likely to be removed from the selection list due to restructuring and the rise of other members. ”

"Yes, Jisan, who do you think is likely to drop out of this year's selection list?"

"Judging from the results of the quick report, Yuko, Oku, Mariko, Watanabe and Itano, the five people have a big gap with the number of votes behind, and it is basically impossible to fall out of the selection position, and it is difficult to say what is behind, but Takashiro, Kawanishi, Miyazawa, Kitahara and Minegishi are very dangerous." Ariyoshi Hiroyuki said lightly.

"Maeda-san, do you have anything to look forward to as a newcomer to AKB?"

Atsuko Maeda thought for a moment. Only then did he speak softly: "Shimazaki-san, Muto-san, and Kawaku-san, who did not enter the circle in this flash report, I am more optimistic, and the others have no outstanding performance." ”

"Oshima-san, do you think there are any members in this general election who may become dark horses?"

"If it's a dark horse like Masami, it's basically impossible. A miracle as shocking as Ami cuisine could happen once, if it was another little dark horse. I'm optimistic about the members of SKE48, they are very strong this year. Mai Oshima said.

"I agree with Oshima-san's opinion, the final team that may appear as a dark horse in this general election is SKE48 and HKT48, but HKT48 has only been established for less than a year, and it is already very good to have one or two enter the circle, and if they are a dark horse, they have to wait until the next year, SKE48 is different, they have been in the team for three or four years, and they have developed to a very mature stage, plus the new members of the AKB headquarters are slightly immature, and the old members lack stamina. I am optimistic that a big dark horse will be born among them this year. Kobayashi Yoshifan interjected again.

"Okay, then the general election will start soon, we'll see."

Budokan and the opening ceremony of the general election were carried out a little complicated, after the members finished performing the show. The emcee Kazuo Tokumitsu and Ayako Kisa appeared one after another, and then the members entered one after another. Starting from HKL48, the youngest and youngest member, to the last member of the AKB48A group, this appearance ceremony alone took about 20 minutes. (To be continued......)
