The previous votes of the two members, Reina Matsui and Yona Kojima, were very close, and Kagawa Yu was very satisfied that the artists under his company could occupy several important rankings in a row.

Then the seventh-place members were also released, and Takahashi Minami won the seventh place with 17,252 votes, which is already very good for Takahashi Minami, after all, every member who competes with her is very good.

And Watanabe Mayu is a slight decline in the ranking, 19885 votes, a very good result, but the ranking is tightly in sixth, the girl is very unwilling in her heart, as ACE she has not made any progress this time, plus the rapid growth of Okunami also made her feel very pressure.

The fifth place went to Tomomi Itano, with a staggering 22,250 votes, and the place was overtaken by Mariko Shinoda. However, Tomomi Itano is still quite satisfied with her results, and her expression is relatively calm when she gives her speech on the stage.

Contrary to Tomomi Itano, Mariko Shinoda is much more excited, as the oldest member of the AKB now, she never thought that she would win the competition with this group of members who are much younger than herself, and Mariko Shinoda, who has always been famous for her poker face, cried very sadly when she gave a speech on stage, which was tears of excitement. She did, at least in terms of popularity, she is already the fourth person below the AKB Big Three! Mariko Shinoda received a staggering 23,000 votes. But such votes obviously did not help her win the championship or even make it to the top three. Because the competition for the top three is even more brutal and fierce!

The most tense moment has finally arrived!

When the camera swept to Atsuko Maeda, Mai Oshima and Yuko Oshima who were still sitting in the audience, the expressions of the three girls were very nervous, and Mai Oshima and Atsuko Maeda were next to each other. The two girls held hands, and both felt each other's nervousness; And Yuko Oshima is still some distance from the two, her expression is very nervous, but her eyes are extremely resolute.

"AKB48 17th single 3rd place in the overall election, 30,123 votes, AKB48teamA Atsuko Maeda!"

Atsuko Maeda third?! The fans at the scene were going crazy, and the members felt that their thinking had stagnated, and Mai Oshima and Yuko Oshima also looked incredible, and Atsuko Maeda's ranking had always been number one when the previous flash report and interim results were announced. But who would have thought that in the end she would fall to third place!

More than 30,000 votes could not win the championship! What a horrible vote count for the two people in the top two!

Atsuko Maeda walked to the stage very calmly, and the scene suddenly became extremely quiet. Her expression was very calm, so calm that people didn't dare to look at her face; Togasaki Tomonobu who was sitting on the comment bench was a little unbearable. He had never seen Atsuko Maeda like this, and it was clear that this defeat had hit her very hard!

"Thank you, this time there are more than 30,000 votes, which shows that more and more people are now recognizing my efforts. I'm proud to have finished third. I will continue to work hard and cheer for the future, and I hope you will continue to support you, thank you. When Atsuko Maeda gave her speech, her eyes were already rosy.

"Kagawa-san, tell me about your evaluation of Maeda-san." Kazuo Tokumitsu sighed secretly.

"Maeda, you know what? Actually, I didn't like you very much when I came to Tokyo and came into contact with AKB, because you were not a qualified ACE material in any way, and you gave me the impression that you did not have Takahashi's tenacity, Hoshino's talent, Itano's Tomomi's vitality, and Oshima's omnipotence. I really couldn't figure out why you became an ACE in AKB, but then I understood. You also have a shining point in your body that they don't have, and it is this shining point that makes you an ACE of AKB, and now I want to tell you what that shining point in you is: sometimes tears are not cowardice, but strength, and sometimes failure is also a success."

"Thank you, Kagawa-sensei." Atsuko Maeda's tears finally flowed uncontrollably, this blow was a very big blow for her, as AKB48 absolute ace never imagined that she would one day fall in third place in the general election.

Atsuko Maeda's unexpected defeat means that a new king will be born this year, and this king's name will be born from the girl surnamed Oshima.

The atmosphere of the scene has solidified, who will be the king this year?!

"AKB48 17th single general election, 2nd place, 36791 votes, AKB48teamA Mai Oshima!"

The results came out, and Mai Oshima became the second place in the general election for the second year in a row, with 36,791 votes, which is a very good, and even smack-throwing result! But this result only guarantees her the same ranking as last year, because there is a girl who has more votes than her.

Mai Oshima walked onto the stage with a smile on her face, she glanced at the throne in the middle, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Thank you, this time I troubled everyone again, let everyone vote so hard, and I never thought of more than 30,000 votes before. Thank you very much for your recognition of me throughout the year, and I will continue to work hard in the future, please believe in my determination and the energy of the AKB members, we will be even better in the future! ”

After Mai Oshima finished speaking, her eyes were slightly red, and she was very unwilling to be ranked second for two consecutive years.

At this time, it was Kagawa Yu's turn to come out and Mai Oshima to pour chicken soup for the soul, originally he was still a little embarrassed in the face of Mai Oshima, but now seeing the girl's state, he felt a little unbearable in his heart.

"As I said before, among the members of the AKB, you and Yuko, you have been hiding her light for a long time, the difference is that your personality is a little more calm, and her personality is more cheerful and outgoing. Coming in second place for two years in a row is an affirmation from the fans. It shows that you have been in a high level of progress this year, and I don't think second place is bad! I think the second place is also the king of AKB, the uncrowned king! Many years later, when people talk about AKB, they will not forget that there were a group of the cutest girls working hard for their dreams during that time, and three of them stood out: Maeda, Yuko, and Maimai!
