Ok first my Oshi went down 26 spots ! Ichikawa Miori no! She was 53 last year now she's 79, that's only one spot from falling out of ranking all to gather.
Ok the real big news is Mayu Watanabe lost to Sashihara Rino but instead of falling to 2 she falls to 3! losing the 2 spot to long time friend and rival Kashiwagi Yuki.
Takahashi Minami also sees a huge jump in the ranks for her last Senbatsu Sousenkyo, Going from 9 last year to 4 this year getting in to the Kami 7. She had wanted 1.
Veteran member Kitahara Rie sees a return to Senbatsu taking the 11th spot, she's been below 16th place for 2 years.
Another big thing was that several big names opted out of the elections this year. 29 no shows. The biggest no shows are Rena Matsui and Haruna Kojima.
With 29 members not taking part in the elections hundreds of thousands of voters would choose to cast their votes for other members or not vote at all. Smothering about all of this is bugging me so many big names opting out has never happened before.
however it has livened thing up in the elections. ( All planned by AKI-PIG )

I apologize for using Stage48 list.
Am working on several other work projects so I have no time for my usual Idol craziness but soon that will change. I have several unfinished Nana and Yukari posts, plus a post on Kawaei Rina and her graduation.
