Chapter 200 The Second General Election to Begin
When Tomomi Itano and Kagawa returned to the restaurant, the mood of the whole person had become very cheerful.
"tomochin, Mi and Kagawa-san went out just now, let me tell you, just now we decided to set up a girls' version of S.MAP, and four people have been determined, and now that you are here, we just have confirmed this last place." Atsuko Maeda waved excitedly at Tomomi Itano.
"Really, who are the members?" Itano Tomomi ran over excitedly.
"Reina, you, me, and Mayiyang, the four of us!" Atsuko Maeda saw that Tomomi Itano was almost in a better mood, and pointed to Mai Shiraishi and Reina Matsui.
"I have to say, Ah Chan, you have a lot of vision, but there is still one person missing." Itano Tomomi gave a thumbs up to Atsuko Maeda, and Kagawa Yu took advantage of the girls chatting and returned to his place to hurry up and eat.
He also noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the members, and he didn't say anything, he believed that the members would handle these things well, of course, he still felt a little embarrassed when facing the three girls of Yona Kojima, Yuko Oshima and Mai Oshima.
The PV shoot went very smoothly, and it took less than a day to complete all the PV, and after the PV shooting, the members returned to Tokyo after two days of crazy play in Guam.
The relationship between Yuko Oshima, Mai Oshima and Yona Kojima and the other girls has also been restored in the past few days, after all, they have been partners for so many years. The members couldn't have let them sentence a person to death for one or two inconsequential things, and Kagawa was relieved that the members' relationship was restored.
This trip to Guam was both sweet and painful for him, and his relationship with Itano Tomomi was officially established. But the relationship with Yuko Oshima, Mai Oshima, and Yona Kojima also gave him some headaches.
……………
On May 26th, the results of the AKB48 second general election were announced, and most of the members saw the announcement of the results in the theater, and this time it was different from the previous one, and there were a total of 40 selection places in the circle, including Ami Maeda, Mika Komori and other members who entered the circle.
In the high-profile competition for the selection position, two girls, Aika Tada and Rino Fingerhara, successfully entered the selection list. One of the two is temporarily ranked 21st, and the other is 19th!
The top 21 members in the flash report are: 21 Aika Tada, 20 Reina Ono, Rino 19 Fingers, 18 Manami Okumana, 17 Akimoto Saika, 16 Tomomi Kawanishi, 15 Minami Minegashi, 14 Matsui Jurina, 13 Sae Miyazawa, 12 Mai Shiraishi, 11 Ami Sato, 10th Yuki Kashiwagi, 9th Reina Matsui, 8th Takahashi Minami, 7th Mayu Watanabe, 6th Ona Kojima, 5th Itano Tomome, 4th Sanoda Mariko, 3rd Oshima Mai, 2nd Oshima Yuko. First Atsuko Maeda!
In this year's flash report, the rankings have changed a lot. The most prominent thing is that Sarei Kitahara, who entered the selection in last year's general election, was squeezed out of the selection list, and Ono Reina's ranking has also fallen very fast, and has even been surpassed by the juniors Matsui Jurina and Rina Fingerhara.
Ono's declining rankings meant that her popularity was starting to decline, and Yasu Akimoto and AKS realized that their push for Ono had failed. At present, there are three members of the operation management team. One is Atsuko Maeda, the other is Mayu Watanabe, and the other is Reina Ono, but Atsuko Maeda and Mayu Watanabe are constantly proving themselves, especially Atsuko Maeda's popularity in the general election proves that her decision to push her is not wrong; But Erina Ono is different, she was pushed even a little more than Mayu Watanabe, but the effect was not much better, but Yuko Oshima took the place of ACE in Group K; After Ono Reina, the operation began to force other members to take Ono Reina's position, such as Mika Komori, Aki Takashiro, and Miho Miyazaki are several popular candidates. Of course, the concrete effect will only be seen in this general election, if they are really useless. Then the future of AKB is likely to belong to Nami Okumanabe, Mayu Watanabe, and the rest of the members.
In addition to Meina Ono, Mayu Watanabe and Tomomi Itano's rankings also dropped slightly, Mayu Watanabe has a lot of injuries this year, there are fewer foreign activities, and several other people have filmed and participated in more variety shows this year, so they were surpassed by Minami Takahashi and Yona Kojima, and the reason why Tomomi Itano was surpassed by Mariko Shinoda was because Mariko Shinoda had an excellent performance in "Marusuka Academy" that made her rise a lot of fans, and Mariko Shinoda also established her image as a queen with the help of this TV series.
Similar members to Mariko Shinoda are Reina Matsui and Yuko Oshima. Reina Matsui completely subverted her image of a pure jade girl in "Road Suga School Park",Played the bloodthirsty and furious fierce,This TV series also allowed her to gather a large number of fans,Although her ranking in the flash report is only ninth,But the specific number of votes is not much different from the others in front。
And Yuko Oshima also surpassed Mai Oshima, who did not participate in the TV series, with her excellent performance, and then launched an attack on Atsuko Maeda's throne!
The most improved member is Rina Hara, although she has not entered the selection many times, but relying on her active performance in various variety shows, her popularity has surged in less than a year. If she damages the program of Nogizaka 46, which will be hosted by her, I believe that her future ranking in the general election will definitely only be 19th.
On May 26, "Ponytail and Hair Ring" officially went on sale. On the day before the release, on 25/25, the public trust chart recorded sales of 354,000 copies. Arashi's "Troublemaker", which surpassed the previous record, sold 120,000 copies at the time, updating the previous record, and at the same time, it also surpassed the sales of the single Sakura Mark (桜の栞) on the first day, and the highest single sales in 2010 was tentatively set at No. 5. As of May 26, 2010, the day of the release, the total number of copies sold exceeded 400,000. On the 2nd, it surpassed the sales of the previous work, setting a record for the highest number of sales since AKB48 singles. Since then, the number of horse warps has exceeded 450,000 on May 28 and 500,000 on May 30. (To be continued......)
