Chapter 255: The Footsteps of the General Election
"It seems that Kagawa-san is very optimistic about the members after the ninth period." Togasaki Tomonobu sighed, and Akimoto Yasushi also shook his head helplessly.
In fact, Akimoto Yasushi really hopes that Kagawa Yu Nenbai will value a few members after the ninth term, but this guy seems to be dead or alive and not interested in other young members, but if you think about it carefully, the age advantage of the two girls is too great, and on the contrary, only Matsui Jurina has a slight advantage in age, but Matsui Jurina is SKE48.
Even if Matsui Jurina is pulled into the AKB, he may not be able to win the two of Mayu Bianbian and Nami Okujina, because his strong push for Matsui Jurina makes Matsui Jurina's hatred value very high; Let's put it this way, how many people like Matsui Jurina now, it means that there are more people who hate this girl.
"I'm leaving." Kagawa Yu ignored Yasusu Akimoto's thoughts and left on his own.
Togasaki's performance immediately sparked speculation among many AKB48 fans, who also became very interested in the group, called "July Meteor", and everyone speculated about who the other five members were.
On the same day, BLUESKY also announced more detailed information about the combination on its official website, as well as the future development direction of Takahashi Minami.
On April 17th, at the performance of Group K. The second member of the July Meteor is being officially announced, and this member is Mai Shiraishi. The announcement of the second member also made the discussion more lively among fans; For the members of AKB48, of course. They are very envious of being able to enter this group, unlike other groups, the business of July Meteor is basically very fixed. And they don't have the resources they enjoy.
Not to mention those members at the bottom, even Yona Kojima, Yuko Oshima, Mai Oshima, and Mariko Shinoda are also very envious and red-eyed.
On the same day, the selection list for AKB48's 21st single was also officially announced, and as many as 26 members of this single were selected, namely Atsuko Maeda, Mai Oshima, Mariko Shinoda, Minami Takahashi, Yona Kojima, Rino Shihara, Mika Komori, Akika Nakatani, Aki Takashiro in Group K, Yuko Oshima, Tomomi Itano, Mai Shiraishi, Nami Okumana, Miho Miyazaki, Minami Minegishi, Yui Yokoyama, Mayu Watanabe, Yuki Kashiwagi, Rena Matsui, Amina Sato, Tomomi Kawanishi, and Sae Miyazawa in Group B. Satomi Kitahara, Jurina Matsui of SKE48, Aya Yamamoto and Miyuki Watanabe of NMB48.
It is worth mentioning that in this selection list, there are three people who entered the selection for the first time, namely the two ACE Aya Yamamoto and Miyuki Watanabe of NMB48 and the members of the ninth term. Yui Yokoyama, who has now been promoted to Group K!
Of course, with this large selection list, the third general election of AKB48 has officially kicked off! This time, not only AKB48 and SKE48, but also NMB48 will join the battle group, and of course, the current NMB48 members do not pose any threat to the selection of members. But there is a great threat to the rest of the members.
Can Atsuko Maeda succeed in revenge? Can Yuko Oshima defend her title? Can Mai Oshima end the embarrassment of her uncrowned king? Whether Nami Okumanami can reproduce the fairy tale of angels has become the highlight of this general election.
A short video of AKB48 members' self-introduction has been shown on YouTube. This general election will be announced on June 9 as last year, but unlike last year, there will be four places to broadcast the general election live this year, namely South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan three regions of the cinema live broadcast, at the same time a movie theater in the magic capital will also broadcast the general election live, the magic capital TV will also have a brief review of the general election after midnight, this will also be the first time that Chinese mainland TV will focus on the AKB general election! YouTube and Fuji TV will also broadcast the general election live, and it can be said that the general election is the most important event in the entertainment industry this year.
In fact, this general election is the most watched general election since the birth of AKB48. The final showdown between the three aces, the chase and fight of the twelve TOP. 150 girls competed for 21 selection spots, all of which made this general election a high-profile event. Later facts also proved that this year the competition among AKB members was the most fierce, because this year was the peak of AKB48 and the peak of all members!
While the AKB48 single and the war drums of the general election began to beat, the members of BLUESKY were in full swing to produce a variety show for the "July Meteor" group, although the program has not yet been produced and all the members have not been announced, but many media outlets, including Fuji TV, NTV, and TV Tokyo, have begun to contact the company to jointly produce this program.
In fact, with the popularity of AKB48 has increased greatly, more and more members now have their own program groups, such as Yona Kojima and Mai Shiraishi, two girls who co-hosted a horse racing show; Yuko Oshima also serves as a guest commentator in various competitions from time to time, Mai Oshima alone hosts four variety shows, in comparison, Atsuko Maeda, Minami Takahashi, Reina Matsui, and Tomomi Itano basically have no hosting programs, but the four girls are often absent from the performance because of their own affairs. Atsuko Maeda often participates in the filming of various film and television dramas, and is also preparing her solo single "FLOWER" to become the first member of AKBTOP; Tomomi Itano is active in the major fashion stages, and has recently been preparing for her first solo single, Reina Matsui is participating in the dubbing of various anime, and Minami Takahashi's affairs are more complicated, AKB's affairs, her own affairs, etc., have made this girl who has just become an adult a little tired.
On April 24th, during the performance of Group B, the third member of "July Meteor" was announced, this member is none other than Yuki Kashiwagi, who was born on July 15, in fact, among the three members who have been announced, she is the only one who meets the month of July, Minami Takahashi's birthday is in April, and Mai Shiraishi's birthday is in August, which is basically unrelated to July.
