Event / Concert AKB48Group Request Hour Setlist Best 100 2017 (17/01/21-17/01/22)

i think even some people said that they dont like this song, but deep inside they love it. Srly, when i first heard this song i didnt like it at all but later on, i really love heart gata virus~

 

Ohh Shu...
I think I will miss her the most among all soon-to-be-graduates. No hard feeling.
----------
Also congrats NGT, for 8 and their runner-up curse, and Jurina.
They should be the DVD cover if last year RH was the basis.

 

One day Team 8 will be as much as loved as the Cubs.

 

since when Yabushita Shu in SKE?

 

Of course I'm not offensive, not against any girl or member here. Not even against my two stalkers. Maybe it would be better with "loss of Sae/Akicha factor"? As @rka writes there are many songs that are linked together with their performer or center and when they graduate the song drops. Earlier we hade had Acchan and Kuroi tenshi. Just wait and see what will happen with Yokaze no Shiwasa when Yukirin graduate.

 

Not sure the people you knew that thought that but all her oshis that I know that thought never crossed our minds.
I agree with you on the never coming back part though. Id like to be wrong though.

 

Isn´t 22 a bit too low for Kanojo?

 

I think one interesting theory to look at are the songs that the 48 groups use to open and close their concerts, say the first and last 3 songs as this is the most important time to fire up the crowd, at the start to energise the crowd and and the end to send them home happy.

If you look at the songs that tend to get the biggest crowd "pop" (a wrestling term but applicable in terms of pop concerts imo) at concerts it's things like Te Wo Tsuniginagara, Nakama Na Uta, Seishun no Lap Time, AKB Festival, Hikoukigoumo, Hebirote, Melon Juice, AKB48/SKE48/NMB48/HKT48 etc.

 

I found this part really funny.

 

Although I wasn't too happy about 365's drop, I am happy to see that Koko de Ippatsu still sticking around in the teens.

Grats to NGT.

 

Watching some Youtube highlights, the one thing that stood out to me is how Freaking much I'm going to miss Miki Nishino and all her wild gyrations (aka, dancing) once she "graduates".
I'm no 48 expert is she being forced out by management or is it really her choice to move on?
has there ever been a member that announced a graduation then a few months later changed her mind and wants to stay on?

 

Here's a few ranking stats I quickly & roughly knocked together:

Regarding the groups in general

AKB48 54

HKT48 20
NGT48 3

Then split into types of songs

Team Surprise 1

Some variations eg I counted Max Toki as an NGT song in the group ranking but an AKB B-Side in the song splits, same for Escape/Otona Rassha; Hashire Penguin is a B-side but I counted it as Team 4; 365/Kanojo etc I counted as AKB even though they're really wins for NMB/HKT; and so on. This is just to give a rough idea of the types of songs voted for, please don't use for offical stats or anything.

On the whole B-sides dominated for all groups. This is obviously because if you look at the current members in 48G, most of them don't have songs to call their own other than B-sides. Stage songs have taken a HUGE downturn compared to 3-4 years ago. Makes sense since the majority of stage songs were performed by graduated members, but it's quite a change, considering how a few years ago, we weighed the success of teams by how many of their stage songs ranked. Interestingly almost all the A-sides/album songs ranking were recent, but for the B-sides they were spread out along the history of AKB.

It felt like AKB did better than usual but maybe I'm misremembering past years. HKT didn't really rank many more songs than SKE, but they were almost all high-ranking, whereas SKE were spread over, especially the first two concerts. NMB did poorly once again, with no A-sides ranking. (wtf)

 

That's why I stopped caring that much about Request Hour. Good songs ranking lol or not ranking at all just because they are not performed by a any vote catcher.

That song is nice but that's just it. I wouldn't put it even on a top 10.

 

Yea that really is a pity that its become some a competition between members. Request hour and kouhaku are my favorite AKB concert events because you get to see a lot of different songs and people performing them. One way they can make request hour more about the songs is to say they wont have the original members perform the songs and instead use other girls. That way there is less of an incentive to vote for the performer and it also gives more opportunity for the less popular girls to perform more. That being said, I highly doubt they would do this because there would probably be less people voting.

 

I (used to?) like RH because it is (was?) a chance to see they performing some good old songs that are no long performed on a regular basis and also songs that usually aren't performed.

A Request Hour with shuffle units/senbatsus would be interesting.

 

That would be Kouhaku but people voting for the songs lol

 

Great job @hinapyon
I wish, someone smarter than me, could name the songs by what really motivated them to rank.

Eg.:
100. Oogoe Diamond - Popular song
22. Kanojo - Sakura
21. Heart Gata Virus - Kojima Haruka
2. 47 no Suteki na Machi e - Team 8
1. Max Toki 315-go - NGT48
