[EVENT] 24th Single Janken Tournament

Actually it is rather misleading to say that those girls are seeded ........ [think]
They still play the same amount of matches as many other girls
Only 14 girls need to play in the first round and the rest start with the second round, including those seeded.

 

The bracket looks fierce. I wonder how it'll end up?

...somehow I hope Ucchi wins again. If that happens, will Aki-P think of another game to play for next year's autumn single senbatsu? 8'DD Besides, Ucchi looks like the kind of person who is really good in janken, and--well, I just associate her with janken.

And I tried doing it with dice rolls.

Spoiler

9th-16th
Shimada Haruka
Iwasa Misaki
Suzuki Shihori
Masuda Yuka
Kobayashi Marina
Kojima Haruna
Oshima Yuko
Fujie Reina

5th-10th
Yogi Keira
Chikano Rina
Iriyama Anna
Kasai Tomomi

3rd-4th
Miyazaki Miho
Kuwabara Mizuki

2nd
Tanabe Miku

1st
Sato Mieko

And I feel conflicted with the result. Sure, Myao get 3rd/4th (which I hope to be true in reality ;_____ but I kind dislike the idea of a non-AKB girl to center an AKB single.

 

I'd just like to say, FUUUUUUU D BRACKET. It makes it impossible for for Miichan, Amina, Uchii to be in media senbatsu together. If there is yet another thing that i say i want to be the only thing to happen in this world, was to have those 3 (+harugon) occupying the top spots.

Harugon and Natsumi need to get as high as they can in the a bracket
Mariyannu needs to get as high as she can in the c bracket

So far im not liking the odds for my oshis D:

Hmm... This would be my pick:

01. Sato Natsuki
02. Miyazaki Miho
03. Chikano Rina
04. Nakata Chisato
05. Maeda Ami
06. Nakaya Sayaka
07. Yonezawa Rumi

10. Katayama Haruka
11. Fujie Reina
12. Masuda Yuka
13. Hirajima Natsumi
14. Kuramochi Asuka
15. Iwasa Misaki
16. Kojima Haruna

 

Not going to guess because there's no point.

No other48 please.

 

This

 

Here's who I'm hoping to win each block...

A Nakagawa Haruka (or an NMB girl)
B Ota Aika (or Acchan, but mostly Rabutan!)
C Hirajima Natsumi
D anyone
E Fujie Reina
F Kasai Tomomi (or Minarun)
G Nagao Mariya (or Suuchan)
H Kuwabara Mizuki (why not throw an SKE girl in there? But really anyone is fine)
I Nito Moeno (or Shiichan)
J Takahashi Minami
K Takeuchi Miyu
L anyone
M Minegishi Minami!!
N Sato Amina (or Myao)
O Katayama Haruka (or Annin)
P anyone (I like Yuko, Sasshi, and Aamin D

 

If the least popular girls were to win every time, it might look something like this:

01 - Keira Yogi
02 - Shihori Suzuki
03 - Rena Shimada
04 - Runa Fujita
05 - Rina Izuta
06 - Misato Nonaka
07 - Tomomi Nakatsuka
08 - Mizuki Kuwabara
09 - Miku Tanabe
10 - Shiori Nakamata
11 - Yuuki Yamaguchi
12 - Mariya Suzuki
13 - Haruka Shimada
14 - Mai Takeuchi
15 - Anna Iriyama
16 - Mayumi Uchida

Broken down by teams:

K - 4
4 - 3 (including Iriyama)
NMB KKS - 3
B - 2
AKB KKS - 1
S - 1
E - 1
N - 1

So...a "worst case scenario," if you will

Though, I'd be quite pleased with a few of those...

 

Some interesting things I (and everyone else) saw:
-Sayaka versus Acchan. I can't imagine a better pair. I'd be hard-pressed to agree with anyone who thinks Maeda should win this one.
-Kashiwagi versus Kikuchi. Original Team B second-in-command girls. Crossing my fingers for an Under Girl victory here.
-Shimazaki versus Fujie. The battle of the Acchans. (9th generation versus 4th generation)
-Possible Kasai versus Natsuki. Last time N had to go against her friend and senbatsu member Sae for a spot, now the same, but with Kasai. Maybe.
-Sumire versus Nagao. I feel like Nagao subs for Sumire. But I'm probably off.
-The first half of block C. No front girls besides the forever-pushed, never-popularized Moeno.
-Kojima versus Takahashi. Hoping for Kojima. Takamina gets enough promotion already.
-Chikano versus Shinoda. Mariko should just forfeit so she can focus on her well-paying career.
-Jurina versus Sae. I've always seen them as similar idols, as both are skinny and focus on dancing. Go Sae, go. Don't you dare lose.
-Rie versus Itano. I don't care for either, but this'll get coverage. Haachan will hopefully get this spot anyway.
-The last position. Crap. I don't know why the Yuko versus Ami thing is a thing, since Ami isn't very popular at all. But they share a spot with Sasshi. And Ucchi. So, regardless, we're getting more Sasshipushhi. Darn. If Ucchi wins that match, Sasshi will get "Oh, shucks, you lost!" coverage, and if she wins, she'll get "Wow! You beat the Janken queen!" coverage. Lose-lose.
-Also, there's a possibility of 3/4 of senbatsu being SKE, NMB, and KKS/Team 4.

 

I'm so sad to see my two favorite underdogs, Shii-chan and Tanamin, in the same block. Other then that, I'm looking forward to the results~

Yui is better than centre senbatsu trolling

 

I think fate is trolling me [boom] Last year, it put Mayuyu and Acchan, my two favorite girls, in the same block, and then they actually faced each other in the 2nd round -___-

This year, I was looking at the bracket and that was the first thing I looked for. "Phew, different block for Mayuyu and Acchan! Safe!" said my naive self. And then I looked at one name below and I was "......Damn it!!!!!!!" because now she might face Yui in the 2nd round instead. [boom] A year later and girls I really like are still pitted against each other in the 2nd round. You trolling, random drawing, you trolling.

And I'm not sure how to feel about Mayuyu against Nakayan in the first round, seeing as they're both members of the Wota 4. On one hand, that might make it harder for them to go against each other since they're such good friends, but on the other hand, that might make for less hard feelings after one beats the other.

Will be an interesting September day. My hopeful, ideal, bracket later, back to work for now.

Well, I feel stupid now. In hindsight, it kind of makes sense...but yeah, that totally flew over my head.

 

Kojiharu vs. Takamina

Acchan vs. Sayaka

Kitarie vs. Tomochin

Sasshi vs. Uchii

Nakayan vs. Mayuyu

and Sae vs. Jurina.

Wow, this should be very interesting to see. It'll be worth a couple of lulz to see Saeyaka knock out the 'faces' of two of the xxx48 family.
