Despite the ending we can be proud of them. Last year 6 HKT members ranked, this year 14, incredible growth.

Although prelim ranked Naopon and Nao didn't make it though.

 

If members on Stage 48 didn't vote, Murashige would've been 69th not 67th. Thanks every one, I am very happy.

Broken down by teams:
Team H
#2 Sasshi
#21 Haruppi
#38 Meru
#39 Anai Chihiro
#60 Sakaguchi
#64 Natsu
#79 Komada

Team KIV
#11 Sakura
#25 Moriyasu Madoka
#27 Tomonaga Mio
#42 Rabutan
#48 Aoi
#50 Kimoto Kanon
#67 Murashige

Equal numbers for teams >.>

 

Gosh, I'm so happy for all the ranked HKT girls right now. More ranked girls than NMB, that actually totally makes up for Sasshi losing to Mayuyu.
Wow, only a 50 votes difference between Kyappu and Meru.

 

I'm sad for Sasshi of course, but what a victory for HKT!

 

Good work everyone!

Definitively, we are proud HKT fans!

 

Akip should at least have a think about HKT center. Meru is lagging behind the other 3 aces and even Madoka ranks higher than her. tbh i dobnt it'll change anything but it not gonna hurt to pull a N46, change up center and see how the sale results goes.

 

Great result! Very relieved Anna ranked and glad I was right about piichan and rikopi.

Will these results have any implications for the hierarchy within hkt? I don't know

Congrats to all girls though

 

HKT made a hell of a splash this year with 14 rank ins. Especially those girls like Piichan, Rikopi and Madoka for making people aware of HKT having more than just pushed aces (which is essentially the first step in getting notice) this upward trend is gonna hopefully lead to a bigger boon next year with even more HKTer's making it.

Also I doubt management will change things up. It's been known since the beginning that Sakura is the most popular (behind Sasshi) they'll still keep pushing MeruMio even though SakHaruDoka are higher on the popularity scale.

 

I think my favourite moment of the election was Kyappu waiting for Meru, grabbing her hand and them walking to the stage together.

Congrats to all of the girls who ranked and I hope those that didn't make it stay positive and try hard next year. This was a great outcome for HKT.

 

What a great night for our girls in HKT! Was incredible to see all these girls rank! 14 HKT members ranking. That is a fantastic job everyone! Well done, indeed!

Shout out to all who joined the chat! I had a blast with each and every one of you.

Special thanks to @Tarooooo for providing on the fly translations of the acceptance speeches. That was GREATLY appreciated!

 

BIG WIN for HKT48 for sure.
CONGRATS TO ALL!!!

 

HKT did great this year! I'm loving that Aoi ranked (she is my favorite HKT member) and that Haruppi ranked so high! (she is my 2nd favorite HKT member XD). Hope Haruppi can get into senbatsu like Sakura next year!

Yeah, Meru and Cap holding hands was adorable as hell.

 

Good result, so many HKT girls ranked in
Congratulations to all girls

 

Too bad sasshi lost , but at least more HKT girls ranked this year is a good thing to be celebrated! still plenty of time for our girls

 

A very impressive result!

I'm very satisfied with the girls' ranking.
Moments that surprised me the most;
-Rikopi and Piichan ranked. I thought they will get kicked out on actual result
-Shige!!!!
-Chiichan, Mio and Madoka ranked way more higher than I was expecting
-Sakura at #11! I only expect her to land a spot at 15/16 but 11? Even beat Shibata, Ricchan, Ikoma, Yuihan and Sae? She might even enter top 10 next year

On the other hand, I feel a bit sad about Natsu. She looks disappointed (at least that's what I think). Barely ranked at #64, even lose to Rikopi and Madoka who get a really good rank.

 

I like how there is potential for good team rivalry sasshi vs. sakura both in senbatsu, and both captains at #39 and #42. I posted earlier about expecting lovetan to stay around her same rank and indeed she only increased 1 rank to 42 from 43 last year. I wish I would have aimed higher. she kept posting on google+ about aiming for senbatsu. I glad she was happy during her speech. Her attitude has improved.

@saki48 I thought natsu looked really happy. she was pumping her fists a lot after being called but the camera kind of cut away from her.

 

Minute 34:14... Team H´s PV?
they recorded yet and even a new single hasn´t been announced...?
if already team songs and main song have been recorded, I'm so sad, because the selection won't change anything, I know that the center will be Meru and Mio of HKT always, but I hoped that after to enter in senbatsu, Sakura could be the center of Team KIV song..
PD:sorry for my bad English
