5 new members from my list, and they're all in the same region in my ranking. 01. 02. 03. 04. 103. (126) [6|0] [AKB] Takahashi Ayane {+33,0}, 33 05. 06. 173. (---) [3|0] [AKB] Rissen Airi {+18,0}, 18 07. 126. (92) [5|0] [AKB] Shinozaki Ayana {+28,0}, 28 08. 158. (130) [4|0] [AKB] Hama Sayuna {+21,0}, 21 09. 161. (242) [6|0] [AKB] Shimizu Maria {+20,0}, 20 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 255. (384) [3|0] [AKB] Hidaritomo Ayaka {+9,0}, 9 17. 18. 19. 417. (---) [1|0] [AKB] Inoue Miyu {+1,0}, 1 20. ---------------------------- 103. (126) [6|0] [AKB] Takahashi Ayane {+33,0}, 33, 8 points from me. Our legal loli is pretty awesome, though I only realized it after watching all the bacchikoi episodes last year. Nearly entering the top 100 this year, I think she's making good progress. I don't really get her on-stage persona, though, it seems to be something between grumpy, sensitive, childlike, serious, nonsense character. So, to come to an conclusion what would I say about her in one sentence? 173. (---) [3|0] [AKB] Rissen Airi {+18,0}, 18, 6 points from me. I think she's probably the best newer team 8 member and would have been already on Hama's level in variety if they didn't cancel AKBingo. Just her sitting somewhere is already incredibly funny. For her I introduced the "Weekly Rissen Corner" for the AKBingo softsubs where I showed her best scenes in screenshot form. But gifs or small videos would be probably better. I wish I understood Japanese better so I can watch her SR where she is soldering and stuff. She also has crazy dexterity with her tongue. 126. (92) [5|0] [AKB] Shinozaki Ayana {+28,0}, 28, 5 points from me. She fell out of the top 100, but I think she had a good year in 2019. Apart from her medical accidents she ranked 2nd in a SR contest and went to Cebu with Yokochan and Onishi. I assumed these great pictures would make her more popular this year. 158. (130) [4|0] [AKB] Hama Sayuna {+21,0}, 21, 5 points from me Variety members tend to be forgotten by everyone, including the staff: And variety wise it wasn't that great for hama, no more bingo and no more Kansai show to shine in, ouch. I hope there will be more for her this year, but it doesn't look good. 161. (242) [6|0] [AKB] Shimizu Maria {+20,0}, 20, 4 points from me Did I say Hidaritomo was the butt of all jokes? Well, actually it's our gorilla, but she takes it with grace and beauty. More or less.

I went 3 times through the whole list because I have the feeling I've missed one or two girls Well, I guess not. But still a few more for me, so here we go; 01. 02. 03. 103. (86) [9|0] [IZN] Choi Yena {+33,0}, 33 04. 165. (72) [5|0] [IZN] Jo Yuri {+19,0}, 19 My two faves in Izone ranking down a bit/a lot. I'm quite sad. Yena was always my fave. She's so funny, and cute. And such a beauty. And Yuri too. Two really talented and great girls. 05. 06. 07. 08. 09. 10. 290. (359) [2|0] [NMB] Horinouchi Momoka {+6,0}, 6 11. 214. (322) [2|0] [HKT] Ishibashi Ibuki {+13,0}, 13 12. 157. (170) [5|0] [STU] Oki Yuka {+22,0}, 22 Yes, my 2nd favorite in STU48. I should rank her higher next year. Maybe. But I still love her. Her showrooms are quite entertaining, and I like seeing her on stage. And her interaction with members are really nice too! An overall great girl!! 13. 230. (283) [3|0] [K46] Takemoto Yui {+11,0}, 11 14. 222. (250) [3|0] [K46] Fujiyoshi Karin {+12,0}, 12 15. 16. 17. 18. 208. (155) [5|1] [IZN] Ahn Yujin {+17,-3}, 14 19. 269.

But she grew a lot on me. Half of my faves are in the Top 100. I hope for a lot of good placements for them!
I'm a filthy casual, fifth day of the reveal and tis is just the first time my girls has finally came out. Spoiler 01. 02. 03. 04. 05. 06. 07. 08. 126. (40) [9|2] [AKB] Kato Rena {+35,-7}, 28 09. 10. 11. 12. 13. 142. (130) [6|0] [AKB] Miyazaki Miho {+24,0}, 24 14. 15. 16. 137. (130) [6|0] [SKE] Oba Mina {+26,0}, 26 17. 103. (39) [8|0] [NMB] Murase Sae {+33,0}, 33 18. 19. 20. 161. (81) [8|2] [AKB] Takahashi Juri {+26,-6}, 20 Takahashi Juri (+1) - I told myself that I will only vote for a member that did not graduated last year but Juri was an exception. She's Juri afterall so I still added her on my list. She's in Rocket Punch now and doing what she love. I still check her out from time to time but not frequently (not really a fan of KPOP). Miyazaki Miho (+3) - I forgot why I put Myao in here. LOL! All I remember is that I missed most of her showroom last year because I'm either doing something else or watching another 48 member showroom. Oba Mina (+2) - Minarun, 28 years old and still here. Happy Birthday btw! One of my favourite 9th gen and she's my girl next door girl. Kato Rena (+5) - Quiet year for Renacchi in AKB I would say. She did went on some overseas tours with the group. I still love her though. Murase Sae (+2) - Well I loved Saepii since PD48. She appeared on a MV from another artist which the song for me suits her.
you're more insecure about competition than the girls themselves it seems Riru and Miku are the only new eitos who didn't rank but Rissen is the 2nd highest ranked debutante what can you do, Sumire is "the girl you tell her not to worry about" heh, eito girls in on the Eito day, clearly the best bunch. ALL EITOS HIGHER THAN COCONA LUL 2. 118. (419) [7|0] [AKB] Fujizono Rei {+30,0}, 30 - SR and selfies, what more do you need? Everything's perfect about her, every day I enjoy checking her SNS. 7 votes is nice and 300 places up, wonder if anyone did more. 3. 113. (190) [4|0] [AKB] Hattori Yuna {+31,0}, 31 - SR and THE BEST SELFIES and the long awaited gravure, what more do you need? (NEED MORE GRAVURE!!!) Still most sensuous face in 48G not even close. And she's just been doing really good considering how little she received and how tough she has had it in the group. I rate that. 4. 214. (250) [2|0] [STU] Mineyoshi Arisa ... 6. 173. (72) [4|0] [STU] Kadowaki Miyuna {+18,0}, 18 - to all three STUs: I thought I'd enjoy STU more in 2019 but the group keeps doing some weird crap and I still haven't liked literally any of their songs. So in the end it's mostly SR but they either don't join events or I tend to support eitos anyway. So I like the girls because they're all insanely talented and all around amazing, but there's not much of deeper connection somehow 7. 157. (170) [5|0] [STU] Oki Yuka {+22,0}, 22 - at least this one didn't drop jajaja 8. 165. (86) [8|0] [STU] Imamura Mitsuki {+19,0}, 19 - 19 points from 8 people so I possibly gave her the most points, that ain't good. I think I didn't vote for her last year, but she's been really adorable and she's indeed a person who you cannot dislike. Just a bit unfortunate she didn't beat Nagi in SR event but that was management's fault. 9. 255. (384) [3|0] [AKB] Hidaritomo Ayaka {+9,0}, 9 10. 142. (343) [4|0] [AKB] Sato Akari {+24,0}, 24 - she's been steadily working super hard, took part in like all SR events and just overall a super nice girl. 200 places up! Yay! 11. 290. (---) [2|0] [NMB] Hara Karen{+6,0}, 6 12. 362. (---) [1|0] [HKT] Kuriyama Rina {+3,0}, 3 13. 290. (---) [2|0] [NMB] Okamoto Rena {+6,0}, 6 14. 196. (359) [3|0] [SKE] Matsumoto Chikako {+15,0}, 15 15. 165. (72) [6|0] [NMB] Shibuya Nagisa {+19,0}, 19 - didn't put her in last year so wanted to redeem myself, Nagi is objectively the best variety member (see how she "destroyed" Yuiyui's legacy in Sanma's show omg) and her gravure is 10/10 as well and her smile is 20/10 as well I wish every Nagi was this funny, smiling a lot and doing stunning gravure. 16. 147. (170) [6|0] [AKB] Hashimoto Haruna {+23,0}, 23 - a bit of a strange year, the start was good with Cebu SR event but the rest was quite quiet, awkward spot with the spotlight being on the new(er) eitos. ... 18. 255. (---) [2|0] [SKE] Aoumi Hinano {+9,0}, 9 19. 290. (---) [3|0] [AKB] Okuhara Hinako {+6,0}, 6 and on MONDAY?... the biggest, the ultimate duel of the 2019 Member Ranking... Yurina vs Nagi... who needs the Champions League or NBA?!
Some of the girls I voted for ranked today, first, Kadowaki Miyuna: last year when I saw the concert of the 1st singing competition, Miyuna got my attention. For some reason, she kinda reminds me of Mayuyu, maybe it's the hair or the fact that she likes anime? She's so cute and she's a good singer too! in the 2nd singing competition, she got my attention again! She's a very cute girl, she's fun, and she's very "idol"-like. So she became one of my favorites from STU, and I ranked her at 16 in my top 20! Then there's Watanabe Rika. I always liked her and she has a fun personnality, she's like the most awkward idol ever and that makes her unique and funny LOL she's also cute and pretty too, she was always one of my favs in Keyaki, I love her! I ranked her at 14 in my top 20. Lastly for today, Kato Rena, one of my favorite members in the current AKB. I always liked her ever since the AnRiRe days, I was rooting for her. She's pretty, and I think she improved so much through the years, now she performs really well and she shines on stage when given the chance, like in her subunit where she centers with Komiharu and they performed at theater and at AKB concert, she was awesome there! She doesn't appear in a lot of AKB things now, but she does very well when she's there, even her personnality feels more open and bright as the years pass. I hope she can enjoy her time in AKB. I ranked her at 3 in my top 20! Some comments about other girls: I didn't vote for them, but I like Suzumoto Miyu and Yoshikawa Nanase. Miyu ranked lower than last year but Nanase ranked higher, maybe I could have helped a little for Miyu but I think her rank is fine especially since she graduated now... she did really well during all her time in Keyaki, I wish her all the best! As for Nanase, I find her cute and funny, glad she rank up! and I didn't expect that the IZ*ONE members would show up so fast. I didn't vote for them but I hesitated at first if I should include IZ*ONE members or not. in the end I thought they'll have enough votes even without me so I didn't include them, but now it looks like most of them ranked down... I would have probably voted for Minju, Wonyoung and Hyewon ;w; During 2019 (and even now), I followed most of the activities of IZ*ONE and these 3 members really stand out for me, they're cute, pretty and charming. They became my favorites in IZ*ONE.
And I missed her when I went over the list yesterday and posted my rankings. She was good for 6th place in my book. 06. (+6) 113. (143) [8|1] [AKB] Yoshikawa Nanase {+32,-1}, 31
That was a rather unexpected reason. I was more of the opinion that Mion was given the nod as Juri was unable to commit long term...but I can see your point. We will never know until they release their memoirs years from now.... ikr. the nerve! The biggest match that no one watched Spoiler tenten tenten tenten tenten tenten tenten tenten tenten tenten tenten
Yay most of my girls have higher ranks this year! 01. 02. 180. (343) [4|0] [SKE] Ego Yuna{+17,0}, 17 03. 04. 05. 06. 103. (110) [9|1] [IZN] Lee Chaeyeon{+34,-1}, 33 - AH SO CLOSE TO TOP 100! 07. 08. 09. 10. 107. (24) [7|0] [NMB] Ota Yuuri{+32,0}, 32 11. 12. 13. 165. (149) [5|1] [HKT] Tanaka Natsumi{+23,-4}, 19 14. 173. (216) [4|0] [AKB] Oya Shizuka{+18,0}, 18 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Feel bad for SKE team E
Top 100 about to come. Time to join in. Mine is pretty straightforward, one color. I expect many on my list to be ranked on the next reveal. I got 4 so far, and one of my top 5 have entered. I don't know how popular she can get as an idol but the future is very bright for this girl. She has everything she needs to succeed in this industry. Spoiler: Rank so far 01. 02. 03. 04. 113. (262)[10|0] [N46] Hayakawa Seira{+31,0}, 31 05. 06. 07. 08. 09. 10. 11. 189. (283)[6|0] [N46] Inoue Sayuri{+16,0}, 16 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 189. (118)[4|0] [N46] Eto Misa{+16,0}, 16 17. 18. 19. 222. (216)[4|0] [N46] Nakamura Reno{+12,0}, 12 20. Equally surprising to me is this one since she hasn't even shown up that much with the group yet. They are the only Nogi members (24 so far) to receive a negative, one hyper-active while the other is the opposite. The two English speakers of 4th gen. Expect the same with the top members especially 3rd gen. Hey, it's fair game I guess.
I didn't post for the last 2 reveals as there was only one reveal in each but a few more came through in todays reveal, new entries bolded. 01. 02. 03. 04. 05. 06. 07. Takahashi Juri (+5) 08. 09. Chiba Erii (+4) 10. 11. 12. Suzuki Kurumi (+3) 13. Yokono Sumire (+3) 14. Hiwatashi Yui (+3) 15. 16. 17. Okada Rina (+2) 18. 19. Kamijima Kaede (+1) 20. Suenaga Oka (+1) 01. Tano Ayaka (-5) 02. Nishigata Marina (-4) 03. Ogino Yuka (-3) 04. Kato Minami (-2) 05. New entries 161. (81) [8|2] [AKB] Takahashi Juri {+26,-6}, 20 - Someone commented about her being mad about not getting Soukantoukou, I don't see it like that, I think she struck while the iron was hot. There was still some good feeling left from PD48 and she had gotten some good popularity from it. She's had a successful debut in Korea and she's doing really well. 118. (119) [8|0] [AKB] Chiba Erii {+30,0}, 30 - She's very cute of course but I think she's improved her stage performance over the last year. Her dancing isn't nearly as stiff as it was and it turns out she has a nice signing voice too. 126. (196) [8|1] [AKB] Suzuki Kurumi {+30,-2}, 28 - She's a dynamic stage presence, a very good dancer with great expressions. I hope she continues to improve and eventually get to senbatsu status. 107. (---) [9|0] [NMB] Yokono Sumire {+32,0}, 32 - Her gravure is awesome, she pretty much came outta nowhere to being a full fledged gravure queen in a year. 222. (149) [4|0] [AKB] Hiwatashi Yui {+12,0}, 12 - Hands down one of the cutest girls to be in the 48 groups in the last few years. Maybe if she'd been a bit less quiet of a personality she would have gotten further but I hope she'll do well as a grad now. 308. (305) [3|0] [SKE] Suenaga Oka {+5,0}, 5 - She's somewhat stagnated on my favourites list, she's very pretty, got great hair and loves Gundam, all good things. If she got her hair cut short though she'd probably disappear off my list
Teams not included include Team E and Team M. Some interesting names can't pop out then. No one voted for Sugawara Maya, Shiroma Miru (!), Hori Shion (now I wish I'd given her a point) and Yasuda Momone, among other smaller fish.
Four new girls today. 06. 147. (98) [8|1] [NMB] Umeyama Cocona {+27,-4}, 23 10. 126. (81) [8|0] [AKB] Iwatate Saho {+28,0}, 28 13. 157. (170) [5|0] [STU] Oki Yuka {+22,0}, 22 19. 107. (---) [9|0] [NMB] Yokono Sumire {+32,0}, 32 Saho has been in my member ranking every year since I started making them back in 2016, always immediately before or after a certain other member who strangely hasn't shown up yet. Beneath the burikko act, there's a very thoughtful, kind, and fun person and that's what I like about her. Well, and her friendships with other members. Shame I don't know French. Okipo and Suuchan are both new additions, but I've liked Okichan since the D3 auditions along with Sato Ami, there were just too many other girls to include last year. Suuchan, on the other hand, is genuinely new. I just uh... like her smile. Cocona is the best Namba. Spoiler: Revealed Rankings 01. 02. 03. 04. 05. 06. 147. (98) [8|1] [NMB] Umeyama Cocona {+27,-4}, 23 07. 460. (503) [6|13] [NGT] Ogino Yuka {+18,-35}, -17 08. 09. 10. 126. (81) [8|0] [AKB] Iwatate Saho {+28,0}, 28 11. 12. 13. 157. (170) [5|0] [STU] Oki Yuka {+22,0}, 22 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 240. (209) [4|0] [AKB] Ichikawa Manami {+10,0}, 10 19. 107. (---) [9|0] [NMB] Yokono Sumire {+32,0}, 32 20. 417. (384) [1|0] [NGT] Kawagoe Saya {+1,0}, 1 More likely kanjo just forgot them than that no one voted for Maya or Miru.
I have voted for a Team M girl that did not appear in ranking so far, so either my vote was not counted, or the list is incomplete. Let's see quickly, who is in... Code: 02. Iwata Momoka (+10) 04. Jonishi Rei (+8) 05. Nomura Miyo (+7) 10. Shiotsuki Keito (+4) 14. Ogino Yuka (+3) 18. Kamimura Ayuka (+1) 20. Ishiguro Yuzuki (+1) One of the few positive voters (assuming I'm in) for Yuka and most points for Momoka, Miyo ...and Keito. Cool. Ripe for coming out. Only top100 left to be announced and I have only seven positive votes and none of the negative? I need to recruit new girls...
I'm not going to say who I voted for whose names haven't yet been revealed, however of course my NMB48 kami-oshi does just happen to be a member of Team M...
Maya had 2 voters and 11 points last year. 10 of those were mine (I feel like the 1 point left might've been @EinhanderX who didn't vote this year?) and I didn't vote for her this year. So I'm not sure she's in lol. That Miru is in I can confirm.
Y'know, bigger than all of that and even bigger than the duel of Cute Spittah Sakaguchi vs. Supahhotfire Gyoten is: Will Okada Nana be dethroned? Nogizaka already took so many top spots from 2017 to 2018, and now with Shiraishi's graduation and all the adulation thrown her way, I think this is likely to happen. And while I'm not a fan of Nogizaka (didn't throw them a single vote), I'd find it exciting coz it makes these for-fun polls here that much more exciting than others I vote in where a certain Sato Masaki always wins. But it'd be better if another 48Girl dethroned Okada, of course
