Event / Concert 37th Single Senbatsu Sousenkyo (2014/06/07)

Last day to sign up, and only about 30% of the girls in AKB proper have signed up while the majority from all of the sister groups have.

I'm starting to form conspiracy theories like a mass plan to boycott this election.

 

^ There is no reason for those theories. IIRC, last year, a lot of big names only registered on the very last day as well, so it's probably the same thing.

Still missing a lot of members

 

The list is filled with SKE girls tbh xD but they're not a lot of AKB members so far! :S

 

Mostly are Team A and captains. Maybe No3b will go together and Paru is waiting for Yui?! Most of them are close to Takamina, maybe preparing for her upcoming birthday or something?

 

I think we can all understand Takamina waiting until today (if she does enter) girl is busy as hell and today might be the only time she can do it. When did she enter last year btw? Was it the last day?

I'm expecting a boatload of names for tomorrow. After the day part and night part.

 

^Called it.

 

^
Sasshi being a troll by applying at the last minute before deadline!

 

Why would it be unacceptable? Then why does the management allow them to bow out for election at the 1st place? There are many other ways for fans to support their oshimen rite? For those who have solo works, they can purchase an focus on their solo works. (To answer @3Liger2000 argument alo).

 

I think there's a concert stage for HKT today right? Being a staff member makes her busy...

 

Not participating is fine. There's more to 48 and there are lots of other ways to support your oshi.

 

Okay, lots more AKB entering now. Maybe they're letting them turn in it in at the request hour concert venue.

Kojima Mako, Kawaei Rina, Shimazaki Haruka, and Yokoyama Yui are in (plus lots more)

 

Takajo and Anna as well.

Anyone else looking forward to their speeches? Will it make a diff in your voting?

I narrowed down my choices to 3 girls. Depending on their speeches, it can make a diff. I spread myself too thin last year.

 

^ when do those come out?

This is my first election as a fan.

 

^
It's going to be posted on AKB's YouTube, like how they did last year.( Maybe next week)

I wonder if Yuihan will start hyperventilating, like how she did the past 2 years after getting her name called.

 

I knew it, Yui and Paru will go on the same day...
Still waiting for Takamina, Nyan, Miichan, Nyan, Yukirin and Sasshi...

 

A prediction: One of Takamina, Nyan, Miichan, Nyan, Yukirin and/or Sasshi will not be participating.

 

Owada has entered the election. Along with Hirata.
