AKB48 Will Hold a Kouhaku Election

Recommended Posts

This year, out of the 48 group, only AKB48 will perform at Kouhaku. All 300+ members from the five groups (AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, NGT48) revealed their dream that came true this year on Kouhaku's official site. With that in mind, the viewers will decide who is fit for being on the show through the official app and data broadcasting.

 

The Schedule:

  1. First half of December: Kouhaku's official site will put up every member's "Dream That Came True This Year"
  2. 12/8: Voting starts on the app "NHK Kouhaku"
  3. Mid-December: Intermediate results (Idk if that's the right term)
  4. 12/29: The 48 members will be revealed (The ranks will not be revealed at this point)
  5. 12/31: The ranking will be revealed during live broadcast.

Edit: Sorry it wasn't "Dream for the Year" but "Dream That Came True This Year (2016)"

 

(UPDATE with reactions from AKB members)

Mayuyu: "So there's a possibility we won't make it? Isn't that too cruel" then afterwards "I feel sad that we have to keep fighting/racing until the end of the year but since I wasn't able to become #1 for general elections, I want to be #1 here"

 

Yokoyama: "I'm so shocked that my mind is blank. I'm so scared that even if AKB performs, I won't be on stage. Hearing that I might not be able to perform, I couldn't stop shaking" then afterwards "Since I was 11th for general elections and didn't make it to top 10, I want to do so this time. I didn't say it then, but I'm actually aiming to become 1st"

 

Kojiharu: "Since this is my last Kouhaku in my AKB years, I want people to vote for me as a congratulatory gift. If I don't make it, maybe I'll go on a vacation to Hawaii!"

 

Paruru: (She found out AKB will perform through her fans) "AKB was invited again, thank you to all the fans who let me know as well as NHK who decided to invite us!" and then "Since it seems like the members will be decided by votes, my wish is to put and end to my idol life on this stage"

 

Sashihara: "What?! Kouhaku!!!! I found out through the news. What is going on? I don't want this"

 

Yukirin: "Only 48 members can perform... And they're even gonna rank us... What a surprise at the end of the year (laughs)" "I wish I can perform at Kouhaku as a member of AKB48. Please support me!"

 

Minegishi: "I just found out something surprising about Kouhaku. I guess this means nothing goes without saying. It is something important and it's better if we keep that in mind early on (At least that's why I will tell myself)"

 

Oya: "Even if there is a small chance I will be able to perform in Kouhaku, it is a great thing"

 

Suda Akari: "Since the general election is the only time I'm selected (senbatsu) it feels like my dream came back to me"

Oh wait, I just saw the list :O Only AKB got invited between 48 groups... meanwhile both Nogizaka and Keyakizaka got invited :O well I can't say I'm 100% surprised, the 46 groups are doing so well (love them <3) kinda sad for other 48 groups but it's expected, at least AKB is still invited. So they'll have an election on who will perform for AKB between all 48 group members? Only 48 of them will make it? so does it mean the winner will be center etc.? this is like an election LOL. Hopefully all my favs make it though :') Mayuyu center please! I wonder if Paruru will be included in the votings, since it'll be her last day as member...

isn't the result pretty much obvious by now? i'm pretty sure the akb48 senbatsu members would be there and the rest might be some other popular members...

 

Well, at least the girls get the chance to tell their dream of the year so they appeal to the fans. All the best to all of the girls!  :smile:

Paruru wont probably participate (and I hope she wont) so I'll be praying for my team 4 favs instead

 

Paruru will be part of it. She found out AKB will perform through her fans and her comment: "AKB was invited again, thank you to all the fans who let me know as well as NHK who decided to invite us!" and then "Since it seems like the members will be decided by votes, my wish is to put and end to my idol life on this stage"

Boring af. Another proof that AKB as a group no longer exists.

So much stress for members on New Year's Eve (and girls who won't make it are gonna be depressed).

It is also sad for theater girls, Kohaku was their only major appearance on television.

Does that mean Sasshihara is seriously not that interested in this? Maybe the others will finally have a fighting chance, then. XD (Well, even if it's not restricted to the dedicated fandom....)

That's not what she meant. She's pissed because she found out through the news (instead of management telling them) and she doesn't want/approve of this election.

If she doesn't want/approve of the election, why would she want to win it?  How is that different?

 

EDIT: well, unless the part she doesn't approve of is it not being restricted to dedicated fans.

Sashi got the most casual AND fanbase. She's the top recognized member among public and the most variety appearances and when casual fans vote, they'll likely just pick the ones they know more.

 

She doesn't like it bc it's just a stressful event for all the girls when they already got an election. That doesn't mean she doesn't want to win or fans aren't going to vote for her tho.
