[Prediction ~ My Dream Team 2014] AKB48 38th Single ~ What I hope from the most "interesting single" of the year...

I know that the 37th single of AKB48 has just released and there is a long time until the next single can be released. However, I have to say that I don't like the lastest single of AKB48 Group. Of course that Mayuyu won #1 and became the center in an "fan choice" single is the thing I really like but I can't like the music. AKB48 Group may be one of the most popular idol girl group in Japan and every single from them always has a lot of people who are ready to accept the music and buy CD. To be honest, I think that makes AKB48 A-sides became more and more unacceptable (for me). In comparison with Gingham Check and Koisuru Fortune Cookie, I consider that Kokoro no Playcard may stand under the other election singles' level (my most favorite until now is Heavy Rotation LOL~). 

Back to the main topic of this post, I want to share my personal opinion about the next AKB48 single, which is considered as the most interesting single of a year. For AKB48 fans, you may know that although the spring singles (Give me five, So long!, etc) and the autumn singles (Heart Ereki, UZA, etc) are always having a small number of senbatsu members in comparing with the early summer single (like Manatsu no Sound Good or Labrador Retriever), the autumn singles are always waited for more than the spring. I think the reason in here that the autumn single makes a totally feeling from the other singles of a year. AKB48 shows a cool and special side for it. You may see the cool in Beginner, UZA, River or Kaze wa Fuiteiru or in Heart Ereki is something really stand-out and unique. And here are my senbatsu choices for a single like that.

Team A: Takahashi Minami, Shimazaki Haruka, Kojima Haruna, Kawaei Rina and Iriyama Anna

Team K: Yokoyama Yui and Kojima Mako

Team B: Kashiwagi Yuki and Watanabe Mayu

Team 4: Minegishi Minami and Kizaki Yuria

SKE48: Matsui Jurina (AKB48 Team K concurrent) and Matsui Rena (NGZK48 concurrent)

NMB48: Yamamoto Sayaka (AKB48 Team K concurrent) and Watanabe Miyuki (SKE48 Team S concurrent)

HKT48 Team H: Sashihara Rino and Tashima Meru

NGZK46: Ikoma Rina (AKB48 Team B concurrent)

The names in bold are members who I think if they come and get into senbatsu, it will make the different feelings for this single. As you may know, both Kawaei Rina and Iriyama Anna are managers' favorite since the Original Team 4 days. However, the senbatsu spot for Kawaei Rina may be more sure than for Iriyama Anna. With Kojima Mako, the situation has some differences. Team K now is having 2 strong concurrent members - Yamamoto Sayaka and Matsui Jurina. If Team K wants to back the position as the top team (like the days of Akimoto Team K), managers have to push young member for this team like Kojimako. On the other hand, Kizaki Yuria is a big question in Team 4. Comparing with Team A, Team K and Team B, Team 4 only has Minegishi Minami as the biggest senior and a lots young junior members. Among them, Kizaki Yuria may be the most suitable choice for another senbatsu in Team 4. She is well-known among SKE48 fans and she is also the Team 4 member who has highest ranking in the lastest election behind Minegishi Minami. Honestly, I like Nishino Miki so much but I have to accept that it's not the time for Mikichan becoming senbatsu >_<. 

Tashima Meru is considered as the second Matsui Jurina by Akimoto Yasushi. However, she is never chosen as HKT48 representative in a AKB48-small-number-of-senbatsu-single. The last year, HKT48 member chosen along with Sashihara Rino was Oota Aika and in UZA was Miyawaki Sakura. I wondered why they didn't choose Tashima Meru even when she was HKT48 ACE and over Komada Haruka and Miyawaki Sakura to become center in the 1st HKT48 original song. When I watch HKT48 performances at theater or in concert, Tashima Meru is really shinning and catched most of my attentions (of cousre that when Akiyoshi Yuka and Yabuki Nako aren't on stage), so I think this is a right time to choose Meruchan. Among my member choices, Ikoma Rina may be the most interesting because she is from Nogizaka46 (which is known as AKB48 rival group). I don't know much about her but I think if she is chosen, NGZK46 will have 2 representatives in a rival group single (her and Matsui Rena). 

And next is about B-side. I know that because of the large number of member in each AKB48 Team, Team Song is a suitable choice. However, if the team songs in Heart Ereki are awesome, the team songs in Labrador Retriever is quite weird (especially in Team 4 song >_<). I don't like the way they put concurrent members are much higher than team original member, so I don't want to write about team song in this post. Next one are my choices for Under Girls, who may be the next stars for the future or just the girl who don't have something enough to be in senbatsu.

Team A: Nakanishi Chiyori and Muto Tomu
Team K: Tano Yuka and Nagao Mariya
Team B: Oshima Ryoka, Owada Nana, Takajo Aki and Takeuchi Miyu
Team 4: Okada Nana, Nishino Miki and Kato Rena
SKE48: Kitagawa Ryoha, Suda Akari and Furuhata Nao
NMB48: Kotani Riho, Yamada Nana, Yagura Fuuko and Jo Eriko
HKT48: Oota Aika, Tomonaga Mio and Miyawaki Sakura

The names in bold are my choices for 1st line members (you can also understand that I consider them as my Top 5 in this list). I think if they choose Kato Rena and Suda Akari as the Wcenter for Under Girls' song, it won't only a interesting story but also a bit weird because of both members. I know Suda Akari now is one of top 3 in SKE48 and even though Suda Akari want to have a spot in senbatsu so much, I prefer as the center of Under Girls to the back-up line of senbatsu. On the other hand, I think that Kato Rena is the truly favorite of AKS manager. I don't understand her charm or why she can get into the same sub-unit with Iriyama Anna and Kawaei Rina. With Kato Rena, she has a lot of push than anyone in Team 4 now (minus Minegishi Minami - she is GEN 1 of AKB48 and Kizaki Yuria - she is one of top members in SKE48 before joining Team 4), but the managers' attempts on her seems not enough to bring her into a new level.

Owada Nana may be considered as the ACE of GEN 15, but in Team B, she isn't showing much of charming. I know she can put out more than that but the problem is when Watanabe Mayu's still there, can she show that?! That's reason why putting Owada Nana in Under Girls list is a big chance for her like what they do in "Party is over". In comparing with Owada Nana, I think Jo Eriko has unique position. She used to be the ACE of GEN 2 in NMB48, the center of Team M when it formed and also the 1st member of NMB48 had a solo performance in AKB48 concert (AKB48 Seibu Dome concert in 2011). When Maeda Atsuko graduated, she chose to follow her oshi's path and graduated from NMB48. However, she's back with NMB48 and promoted in AKB48 Group Shuffle. The thing is that Jo Eriko's still NMB48 KKS even though she had chance to be in a team. NMB48 managers doesn't give up on her and so does AKS.

Miyawaki Sakura may be my wrong choice for this Under Girls list because she was senbatsu of an autumn single before and if managers is choosing between her and Oota Aika, she has a bigger chance to be senbatsu again. In comparing with Tashima Meru, it's clear that she has no chance to be HKT48 center or HKT48 ACE but in AKB48 Group single, who knows what can happen next. 

Here are my predictions for AKB48 next single afer Kokoro no Playcard. Thank you for reading all of my opinion in here. If you have anything to argree or disagree, please let me know. Have a nice day, my friends!
 

P.S: Please don't think I forget about Komada Haruka. I want to put her as senbatsu but when Team K has 2 strong concurrent members in my list, she seems to have no chance to get into senbatsu list. However, I don't think she is in Under Girls list while I consider her in a higher level than Kato Rena and that's all. 

[Promotion - My Ranking 2014] AKB48 Group - AKB48 Team K Top 3 - Energetic?! Not really....

Last time I posted about Team A and this time, I will show you my favorite from Team K. This team has a lot differences with Team A from the beginning until now. Although I'm a GEN 2 and Original Team K lover, I can't deny that Team K now is more interesting because of many Kennin and young members. By the appearances of Jurina and Sayanee in this team, I think Yuihan and Kitarie has not only a lot of supports but also a lot of difficulties to make Team K become more unique. 

Though I wrote that there's difficulty, it still has bright side in here. And I will introduce to you my Top 3 members in Team K now which can create a bright future for this team. I can call them as 97-liners of Team K ^o^ 

3. Yumoto Ami - AKB48 GEN 15

A "truly" little girl among AKB48 members is Yuami ^o^ Even when she isn't the youngest member. She just a member GEN 15 - the newest generation of AKB48 (until now). What can I say about her? There is not much at all. But when you watch AKB48 KKS Selection ft. Sayaka and Tomochin, you'll understand why I choose her for my ranking. She can dance and sing, of course. More than that, whenever I watch her performance, I see her exert herself to the ulmost. She is in #16 of AKB48 Janken Single. ^o^ That's big chance for her when she's just a KKS. However she couldn't get much attention eventhough she had a big chance like that. Honestly, I hope she can use all her advantage to become more popular in the future. (P.S: I can't find a video of her performance of Youtube (in which Yuami can be seen easily) eventhough she became senbatsu in Janken Single.

2. Tano Yuka - AKB48 GEN 12

Eventhough Tanochan is an AKB48 member, sometimes I see her and remember about JKT48 member. Of course that she isn't JKT48 member but some features in her face looks like an Indonesian than a Japanese. When I watch AKBingo, Tanochan makes me remember her because of her funny and sometimes it's her annoy LOL~ Among all Team K members, I think she can learn a lot from Miyazaki Miho. With Myao, I never get tired with her jokes and her funny tricks. I hope Tanochan can learn more and create her own character in a big group like AKB48. (P.S: With Tanochan, I like her in variety shows and somethings like that than in her performances on stage.)

1. Kojima Mako - AKB48 GEN 14

Kojimako is absolutely idol which has Mayuyu's style and Yuko's smile. That's the way I remembered about Kojimako for the first time I saw her. Although she is original Minegishi Team 4 ACE, she never stood in center position on stage in AKB48 theater. I think it's the right way for her and for her fan. She can be really cute with a lovely song but she can also very style and bold in other team songs. Even now in Team K, she stands behind Jurina and Sayanee, I still think her be able to shine more than standing in the center with all spotlight. She also very funny and lovely in AKBingo. I like the way Kojimako and Mikichan interact with each other in this show. (P.S: Forget about Meruchan and Aki-p favorite in here. Kojimako is center and that's all ^^)

You may wonder I chose Yuami, Tanochan and Kojimako in this list. They don't have energetic performance as much as the other members in Team K now. But I think they can shine more and grow up more with Team K. They are right choice for this team. However it's just my opinion. What about you? Tell me if you want. And thank you for reading!

[Prediction ~ My Dream Team] AKB48 33rd Single ~ My Choices for a Cool Single

My Prediction for AKB48 33rd Single Senbatsu

Team A: Kawaei Rina, Takahashi Minami, Watanabe Mayu, Yokoyama Yui
Team K: Oshima Yuko, Kitahara Rie, Muto Tomu
Team B: Kojima Haruna, Kashiwagi Yuki, Shimazaki Haruka
Team 4: Minegishi Minami, Kojima Mako
SKE48: Matsui Jurina, Matsui Rena
NMB48: Watanabe Miyuki, Yamamoto Sayaka
HKT48): Kodama Haruka, Sashihara Rino

(Members in bold are surely in senbatsu. If they're out, AKS and King Records have to face with decrease of this single sales. Members in lighter colour are my choices)

Now, here are my personal opinions about member (who I'm not sure they are in or not). Firstly, Ricchan is a member who got a lot of push from managers recently. She often takes Mayuyu's position (while Mayuyu takes Acchan's position). That's why I think she is first choice of staff to replace Mariko-sama's spot. Next are Kitarie and Tomu-chan. Honestly, Kitarie did great job with SKE48 last year and I think she can't be out although many people said she could be. Besides, Tomu-chan is the most shining among junior members of Team K (Jurina is just concurrent member). Even though she might not have a lot of activities like Ricchan or Annin, she's still the most suitable choice in Team K. With Team 4, I'm sure that they can't leave Miichan out because she's one of AKB48 best dancers. Moreover, Team 4 needs some members to represent in AKB48 single. So I think Miichan along with KojiMako (who has super push recently like Paruru before) will be chosen. Lastly, I think they will choose Haruppi instead of Sakuratan or Meru. Although Aki-p really likes Meru, I think when he chose her as a concurrent member in Team A, Haruppi is the better choice than Sakura. So, why not in this single, he don't choose her.

And now is My Prediction for AKB48 33rd Single Under Girls 

  

AKB48

• Team A: Iriyama Anna, Iwata Karen
• Team K: Nagao Mariya
• Team B: Kojima Natsuki, Oba Mina
• Team 4: Aigasa Moe, Nishino Miki, Okada Nana

SKE48

• Team S: Mukaida Manatsu, Kizaki Yuria
• Team KII: Suda Akari, Takayanagi Akane
• Team E: Kimoto Kanon, Furuhata Nao

NMB48

• Team M: Yagura Fuuko, Yogi Keira, Yamada Nana

HKT48

• Team H: Oota Aika, Miyawaki Sakura
• Team RS: Tashima Meru, Tomonaga Mio

JKT48

• Team J: Takajo Aki, Nozawa Rena

SNH48

• Team RS: Miyazawa Sae

I'm not sure about this at all. Honestly, I think they will choose Meru and Annin as double center for Under Girls song, or just Meru in center. This is based on Aki-p love for her. Besides, Sae chose to be SNH48 member and not hold her concurrent position, so I think they just let her in Under Girls as a representor for SNH48. Because each sister group should have their own representors, I think JKT48 members will be Rena and Akicha. On the other hand, Keira, Karen and Nattsun were chosen in "Sayonara Crawl" Under Girls' song, so I consider that they will choose them again. Fuuchan is another concurrent member, so that's reason why I chose her for my prediction. About SKE48 members, I think 2 members of each team is suitable number. Manatsu and Churi can't be out. Akarin and Yuria are popular members while they need to choose Nonchan and Naochan to push Team E more. The same with my choices in HKT48. 2 members of HKT48 Top 6 are in senbatsu and the others are in Under Girls. It sounds good! 

This post is my personal opinion about AKB48 33rd single. They may not become truth. However, I still want to show my choice. If you have any different opinions, I surely want to know by your comments. Thank you so much for spending time to read my prediction. 

[Promotion] Minegishi Team 4 ~ 1 senior with 15 future of AKB48

This post is dedicated to new Team 4. As I always say, I'm just a crazy fan of Minegishi Minami. Sometimes, I feel like if AKB48 without Miichan, I can't love this group anymore. That's reason why I knew and started to like other KKS of AKB48. (I also found that KKS is really worth to watch only after Miichan's demotion and I was ashamed because of that.) But now, what are we having? We have new Team 4 with my Miichan as a new captain. I think that's good for Miichan with 14th and 15th KKS. In Miichan case, she can have chance to back senbatsu because she is captain and Team 4 needs someone (more than 1 member) in senbatsu. And for the others, now, they are full members of AKB48, they can have more chance to get works and more popular.

1. Minegishi Minami - My beloved Team 4 Captain

Miichan was demoted to KKS when she had scandal in early 2013. This scandal made she drop out from senbatsu and can't take part in TV shows. Sometimes I think she's a bit crazy when she shaved her hair. But now, what we have? Miichan is the next captain of Team 4 2.0. I think new Team 4 will bring her back more and I hope that can be true. (The craziest I did is buying 12 copies of "Sayorana Crawl" to vote >"<) However, this also means my beloved No3b can't graduate together (I always dream 'bout that. My dream changed to WMinami graduate together LOL~)

2. Kojima Mako - Team 4 " dream center"

Kojimako has a lot of push recently. That's reason why I think she will be Team 4 center. When they announced Team 4 reformation, I just think about her as Team center. She is the center for KKS "Aozora Cafe" in KFC. She is also in center of new KKS unit (although it's not KKS unit anymore. I'm waiting to see other members of this unit got promote, especially Meru and Mio ~.~)

3, Nishino Miki 

Another Team 4 member who got a lot of push recently. Although she couldn't be chosen as center, she's still chosen for a lot of activies, overcome other senpai in AKB48. So that makes me consider she as one of Team 4 2.0 front girls. She's young (born in 1999) so that means she can stay in AKB48 for a long time and can contribute for the future of AKB48.

4, Hashimoto Hikari

Hikari got my attention because of her cute moment with Miichan. Although she isn't chosen for a lot of activities like Mikichan and Kojimako, she is a good choice for MC in new Team 4. So I'm looking forward to see her in new Team 4 stage.

5. Okada Ayaka 

I will consider Ayaka as one of my favorite dancers in new Team 4. She has good dance skills but I wonder why she can't stand in front because of that. I think she will suitable for a song like End Roll, but she's also cute in a unit like "Idol Nante Yobanaide"

6, Uchiyama Natsuki

I've liked Nakkii since I saw her in "Lemon no Toshigoro" unit. She surely has a beautiful smile that can take your attentions easily. Besides, somebody said that she is combination of Acchan and Harugon. But that's just because of profile picture. She is really different from them ><

7, Iwatate Saho

Sahhoo was rank in No.55 in 1st day result of AKB48 5th election. I think that's really amazing result although she didn't make it in final result. But that's still good, right. She is a sweat-heart, who comforted her fan and that wouldn;t commit suicide. Besides, she is really good at interact with fan in Theater show. I hope she still can do it in new Team 4.

8, Umeta Ayano

A girl that you cannot fall in love for the 1st sight is Umetan. Sometimes, I wondered why she can improve so much when she's in AKB48. But now, she shows us that she is hard-working girl and can do it all ^.^ And she's just a 99-er. So I have a big hope with her. (She is in Gyakuten Oujisama unit in Team Research Student 5th Stage and she is awesome.)

 9, Aigasa Moe

Moechan is a "next" Tomochin with me (Because her fashion style is awesome, not like my Miichan LOL~) I hope she can get more push (as much as they do for Kojimako ^o^) Her dancing is good. too. I think she can be one of front girls in new Team 4. 

10, Kitazawa Saki

Sakkii is the 1st girl in Team 4 I like because of watching stage ~.~ I don't know why. The feeling is like you she can lighten up your day without not much try >< I think with new Team 4, she can have more oppotunities to shine ^^

11, Takashima Yurina

I think I liked her at first because she is in the same unit song with Miichan in Team KKS stage - "Kagami no Naka no Jean Da Arc". But she only took my attention in KKS MC and they kept referring to her as "urine". I laughed a lot because of this.

12, Murayama Yuiri

Yuirii is another KKS girl performing "Gyakuten Oujisama" in KKS 5th Stage. Actually, I don't like her so much when I watching KKS stage. But day by day, she proves with me that she's strong and she really deserves for a spot in AKB as a full member. So I think she will suitable for new Team 4 and will be great with this team.

13, Shinozaki Ayana 

Ayanan is the 1st girl of Team 4 I can remember her face but never remember her name (The same with Myao and Nacchi before ><). I like Ayanan with her long hair but she cut it recently. Honestly, she's beautiful with short hair too. (However, feeling is feeling. ~.~)

14, Mogi Shinobu

The profile picture destroyed Mogichan's pure beauty >< She's more beautiful than in that pictture (Which's now hung on AKB theater wall ~.~) I think if you're watching her performance once, you'll never forget her. But if you just see new Team 4 picture or profile, I highly recommend that you shouldn't believe what you can see in that. 

15, Meada Mitsuki

Another Maeda in AKB48 group - here is Mitsuki. I'm not sure that she's the tallest in Team 4 or not. But in comparing with other girls, she's really tall. Sometimes, she reminds me about Maria (Abe Maria - who seems to be the tallest in old Team 4). I hope she can do her best with our new Team 4.

16, Okada Nana

Naachan is one of the popular members in new Team 4. Honestly, I consider that she will be one of the important part in AKB if she don't graduate too soon. She can sing, she can dance and she impresses a lot of fans by her performances. Somebody said that she could be in Team K, I agreed. However, now she is in Team 4, and she will show what Team 4 member can do?! 

I don't know how long new Team 4 will last? Or they will be disbanded soon? But with me, new Team 4 is the place you can find many talented girls and a new side of Miichan, who's now showing her leadership. I think if Aki-p want to push new members like Paruru before, new Team 4 is suitable. And with you, who spent time to read my post, thank you so much. I hope you can find your interest in this new team. Thank you and enjoy!

P.S: Blogspot limits tags. So my tags just are random. I'm really sorry if I didn't choose your favorite girls. Thank you for reading (again ~.~)
