At the concert on the 25th, Togasaki Tomonobu also announced some simple rules for this year's AKB general election, and this year's general election rules have changed slightly compared to last year.

This year's registration period is from April 25 to May 20. Voting for the general election officially began on May 21, and there are three types of members who can sign up for the general election this year, the first is the current members of AKB48, SKE48, NMB48 and HKT48, and the second is the members of the overseas delegation, namely Sae Miyazawa, Aki Takashiro, Maria Suzuki and Haruka Nakagawa. The last and most important one is the members who have been with AKB48 for more than five years.

This rule means that Atsuko Maeda and Mai Oshima, the two major ACEs who have already graduated, can also participate in this year's general election, and other members including Keina Ono, Megumi Ohori, Natsumi Hirashima, Kazumi Urano, and Yuri Sato are also eligible to participate in this year's general election.

If Atsuko Maeda and Mai Oshima participate in the general election, then this year is likely to be the time for the three kings or even the five hegemons, and it seems to the outside world that Atsuko Maeda and Mai Oshima will not participate this year. Yuko-chan Oshima may win the AKB48 general election with an absolute advantage, becoming the first member to win the championship three times! Although the popularity of Nami Okuma and Mayu Watanabe has surged, it will be difficult for them to stop Gabu of Yuko Oshima, and it will be even more impossible for the others.

The members were stunned when they heard this, just imagine if Mai Oshima, Atsuko Maeda, Reina Ono and even members such as Tomomi Itano, Saika Akimoto, Tomomi Kawanishi and other members announced their candidacy for the general election, it would be a big blow to the other ambitious members, especially the younger members. Mai Oshima, Atsuko Maeda, and Tomomi Itano must be the three seniors who can't compete, and Meina Ono, Tomomi Kawanishi, and Saika Akimoto may not be able to win. Even some of the older members have some slight apprehensions about the reform.

Yuko Oshima is very much looking forward to the showdown with Mai Oshima and Atsuko Maeda, in fact, the three of them participated in the three general elections. She only won the second championship against Atsuko Maeda and Mai Oshima. In the third general election, Atsuko Maeda was restored, Mai Oshima was the runner-up for three consecutive times, and she only won the third place; Then, in that general election, Mai Oshima announced that she had graduated from AKB487. Ten months later, Atsuko Maeda announced that she had graduated from AKB48, and even though she won the championship last year, she was more or less elated. Without Atsuko Maeda and Mai Oshima's general election, it seems a lot more boring.

In fact, the members were thinking a little too much, shortly after the concert ended. Atsuko Maeda and Mai Oshima announced almost simultaneously that they would never run in the AKB48 general election again.

The two girls' declarations relieved the members. But AKS and their fans are more or less regretful. Many members hope to see Yuko Oshima, Atsuko Maeda, and Mai Oshima on the stage of the general election again, and let them dream back to the summer of 2011.

As Atsuko Maeda's current boss, Kagawa Yu is very supportive of Atsuko Maeda's decision, and since she has graduated, she should not get involved in AKB48 anymore; It's okay to go on a special day, but if you blindly tie it to AKB48. It will give others the illusion that Atsuko Maeda can't do without AKB, or that there are no members of AKB who can play her role now.

This is a very embarrassing thing for both parties, and since they have chosen to leave AKB48, they should believe that the younger members of AKB can inherit their spirit. There is a saying in China that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. That's it.

This year's general election is set to undergo a big change, and there will be newcomers to the selection list, and Michichi now looks at NMB48's Aya Yamamoto, AKB48's Haruka Shimazaki and Nogizaka 46's Rina Ikoma are the three most likely members to enter the selection list to replace Tomomi Itano and Tomomi Kawanishi.

Aya Yamamoto almost entered the selection list last year, and this year she has been pushed by Yoshimoto to greatly improve various activities and increase her exposure, so there is no reason why she will not be included in the selection list. Not to mention Haruka Shimazaki, who has enjoyed most of the resources of AKS and Ota in the past two years. Plus the girl has been working hard to prove herself.,If it can't be counted in the selection.。 That's really unspeakable.

Finally, Rina Ikoma has the biggest variable, and Rina Ikoma did not enter the single selection during the six months of AKB48, and only participated in performances, concerts, and the recording of some programs. But it would be a big mistake to despise Rina Ikoma just because of that. Her popularity is not inferior to that of Mai Shiraishi, Sae Miyazawa, and Rina Matsui, plus when the time comes to vote for Kashgar in the general election, Nogizaka's fans will definitely not let Rina Ikoma fight alone. In case Ichikoma Rina accidentally wins the championship of the general election, it is estimated that Yasushi Akimoto's face will turn green by then.

Of course, these words are all off-topic.

April 30th. Nogizaka 46's eleventh single "Life is So Beautiful" was officially released, and it was the recording of the first Nogizaka 46 single that Reina Matsui participated in studying abroad. The single was very good, selling a staggering 1.11 million copies on the first day.

Industry insiders have a very high evaluation of this single, and many people think that the quality of this single is far higher than the quality of AKB48's recent singles, but AKB fans are not happy after this remark. Some radical fans went to the social networking sites of the members of Nogizaka 46 to make trouble, only to meet the loyal Nogizaka fans, and the two sides set off a round of scolding.

The members of Nogizaka 46 are more or less helpless, they don't seem to have done anything wrong, but they have encountered this kind of unwarranted disaster, and if you want to scold, you should also scold Akimoto Yasu.

This single is also the third consecutive single of Nogizaka 46 to exceed one million sales, and at the time of frequent AKB48 scandals and TOP members graduating, Nogizaka 46 has slowly begun to sit on an equal footing with AKB48. (To be continued.) )
