[EVENT] AKB48 32nd single Senbatsu Sousenkyo
Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2013 1:51 am
It's that time of the year again!
Only this year it's a little different!
It will take place at the AKB Festival in Nissan Stadium in June. (that is their huge summer concert for this year, the equivalent of Tokyo Dome).
Like last year, there will be 64 announced spots.
(1) #1~#16 = 32nd single Senbatsu members
(2) #17-#32 = Under Girls
(3) #33-#48 = Next Girls
(4) #49-#64 = Future Girls
like last year. Each "tier" will get a song on the single, and there will probably be one for the rest of the girls (last year it was under the name "waiting girls" so that may be the case again)
However, who you will be able to elect is different:
Eligible members need to register (meaning eligible members can opt out if they so wish)
Eligible members go as follows:
-All current members of AKB48, SKE48, NMB48 and HKT48 as of March 31st of this year
-The 4 transfer students in SNH48 and JKT48
-Any members (past membres included) that spent at least 4 years in the group
yes, you heard that right! past membres may be in this senbatsu sousenkyo single!
The biggest thing we have to wait for now, is to know which past members will choose to enter the election, and the biggest question of all, of course, is the following: Will Acchan enter??
Gosh, I'm excited.
Here is the list of eligible ex-members:
Nakaya Sayaka, Masuda Yuka, Sato Natsuki, Maeda Atsuko, Yonezawa Rumi, Hirajima Natsumi, Oku Manami, Ono Erena, Sato Yukari, Urano Kazumi, Kohara Haruka, Ohori Megumi, Noro Kayo, Hirata Rikako
Some of these girls left because of scandals (Rumi, Natsumi) some are straight out of the entertainment business (Oku Manami), a lot were AKB48 members that ended up going to SDN48 which then disbanded (we saw a lot of them at Tokyo Dome, I expect them to register). Hirata Rikako is the only member who was never part of AKB48 (she was SKE48 captain of Team S).
Will keep posting info to this thread as it comes, we should have the list of who registered around April 7th.
The fans who can vote for the election will include those who purchase AKB48’s 31st single (currently untitled) which will go on sale on May 22, fan club members, mobile members, and so on. The time to vote for the election will be during May 21 at 10:00 am ~ June 7 at 3:00 pm (JST).
Who do you expect to rank well? Who would you/will you vote for?
