I won't vote, I'd rather voice my opinion since it won't sound like a sound reason to others if I did vote. I'd vote Yukirin because contrary to what people thing, I do feel like she has that presence. It's also probably because I don't know more about Nacchan than I should. I guess I'd go with her because my perception set has been fixed to think that Yukirin (and no one else) should be captain. Perhaps if Nacchan was already captain of Team B, I'd think "definitely, Nacchan should be team captain". If you took a shot of the team captains together and replaced Yukirin with Nacchan, then to me, it would seem off - like its not right.
I voted for Natsumi. Frankly i thought an older member would do, but when i looked at the choices Natsuki or Amina just didn't feel right. Yuki despite being the announced leader, well it feels like it's only by name. Maybe because sometimes it feels like she's only out there for herself. Or the fact that she's in French Kiss, it doesn't really feel like she's taking the lead, but then when i think about it, i think i only voted for Natsumi because she gives off a team B feel.
Voted for Yuka only cause I'm biased XD Then again it'll be even nicer to see Yuka back in Team K!! LOL. Besides that, nothing against Yuki... I think out of the 3 team captains, takamina, sayaka, yuki... yuki's the least charismatic...but that doesn't mean she's ineffective altogether :3
Edit : My fat trolling attempt has been spotted I'm removing it before it backfire. Even from me, it was a bit too much. Sorry. [notme] Yosh ! With this, the thread should have a more serious start !
They compared yuki to Takamina as well... But yeah i voted for yuki because while somtimes she does seem to ask others for support rather giving support, she is really good being a exsamle to follow and at looking after and being approable the younger team b members.
Honestly Yukirin was so lost when she was named Captain of Team B, and she has said it herself that she doesn't think she has good leadership skills. I know that she's working hard, and I know that she cares a lot for other members and stuff, I just feel like it should've been CinDy all along
^ that would be epic!!!, they should so do it, just for the laughs! Hmm, I must say at first I was kinda when Yukirin was named Captain, tbh I think she was as well, it was all ways going to bve hard for her, taking over from CinDy, especially without confidence in her abilities as a leader but she has worked hard to earn the respect needed for a leader, with her own sort of leadership style (she's very different that takamina ans Sayaka) and now I think it would be odd to see another as leader, If not Yuki I would say maybe Yuka if not Yuka than I would say Naachan.
^ ^ Now THAT would be totally epic But wait...that would mean she'd get more MCs ...that she can't remember Voted Nacchan.... I don't know... I just never saw Yukirin as a captain... (especially when in the vicinity of Takamina and Sayaka lol)
the only voting that sees the real captain not leading clear cut and instead falls back... Yuka or Komori.
It's logical to pick the captain from the team's original members. If Yuka were made captain, people would go batshit. I think if Haachan were still in team B, she'd make a good captain. Anyway, it's not really necessary to compare Yuki with Takamina and Sayaka. Team B is different from the other teams. Imagine if Sayaka or Takamina were captain of team B, the team wouldn't be the 'cute' team anymore. They should make Komori captain for like a week or something just for the lulz.
Yukirin lost to Nacchan??? Well Nacchan is good too to become Team B captain, because of some reasons,, but I still prefer Yukirin, Hmm~ its not because she is one of my fav, I just think that she is suitable to become one since she is good in leading...... :music: This is just my opinion, we have right to argue rite??
Nacchan all the way. She's been in the group the longest and has the best chemistry with the rest of the Team. She could easily fill the leadership role. I agree that Kashwagi is a not-so-great choice as Captain. I assume they just wanted to use a girl they can push, and it had to be an original Team B member. Since they couldn't choose Mayu, they just went with option two. Which doesn't fit either. If they kept another original Team B member for Captain, I could see Aika in that spot. Like the leader of a children's brigade. And if it weren't an original Team B member, I can see the eldest, Natsuki as Captain.
^ agrees Once Cindy was shuffled to SDN48, I felt the leader position should have gone to Nacchan. She was the younger big sister to team B.
Doesn't make sense to choose a girl they can push for Team B captain, and at the same time a girl they cannot push for Team K captain.
^Kinda OT but saying that they don't push Sayaka is a bit of a stretch. She's not senbatsu, but DIVA was created for her and I think DiVA too, for good measure xD She also has a lot of work outside AKB etc, hardly not pushed IMO
She doesn't appeal to Japanese fans (as seen by the AKB48 elections and by the Mixi rankings). Who knows why, but she is the lowest ranked captain between all three (and by a long margin). Don't mistake an agency pushing one of their own products and Aki-P pushing one of his own products. DIVA might have been created for her, but it came with Beginner, didn't it? Beginner was released on October 2010, wasn't it? The shuffle was announced on August 2009 and took place on October 2009, right? Looks like they took their dearly time to start pushing her with a unit. Maybe DIVA isn't supposed to push her, but Yuka... Also, that line of thought that a girl who isn't from the original team cannot become captain is kind of simplistic. That means whenever the last girl of the original team graduates, the team is finished, which is doubtful. Just like Nacchan could be captain of Team B and Miichan could be captain of Team K, it should be up to Akimoto.
