This is the first time that the lineup was annouced earlier than I thought. 1 week + before the actual theater. This annoucement came from Mr Togasaki Tomonobu (AKB48 Theater Manager) himself and not from Singapore AKB48.

And it seems like Maria Abe has become a resident in SG Theater shows. This time round, she is the only one in the research students category. Please support her!!

As you can see the Queen of AKB48 Maeda Atsuko is back at no.1 position. Congraulations Acchan! Well deserved!

Updated**

Footage of AKB48 Election results.








This has to be the best footage between Maeda Atsuko and Oshima Yuko



Memorable quotes by both of them.

Oshima Yuko : These vote numbers, where one person gets many votes… can it really be called an election? Shouldn’t an election be one vote per person? People around AKB say a lot of things, but for us, votes means everyone’s love. We are loved, and so are able to hold an event like this on such a large stage, in such a large budokan. Last year, I was #1 and sang a song called ‘Heavy Rotation‘ in the center position. For me, it’s a very dear song. In the next single, I’ll be #2 but I won’t feel resigned, and I will dance and sing with all my power. Thank you for all the love.

Maeda Atsuko : Everyone, thank you so much. I was really able to feel encouragement and support from many people. Of course, I know there are people who don’t like me. There’s just one thing I’d like to ask: even if you dislike me, please don’t disklike AKB! This year, I want to deliver smiles to everyone with AKB48. Please take care of me.

Maeda to Oshima: To Yuko…this entire year… not just this year, I have thought, that it was Yuko, and not me, that always, always pulled everyone forward. I would be very happy if you could continue to support AKB48 together with me. Thank you!

Oshima to Maeda: Acchan is the face of AKB. As long as Acchan is smiling and looking forward, everything will be fine. Let’s continue looking forward together.

My personal thought on this emotional event : I always liked Akb48 for a simple reason - They worked hard as a team. Move foward as a team. Cried as a team. Everyone of them are just basically normal people like us. However the girls worked very hard, fans cheered them on, tried to advise them on how to improve their on stage performance, asking them to move foward no matter what. This bring closer between the fans and idols. This makes AKB48 belongs not only to the girls but to the rest of the fans around the world. This is everyone's AKB48.

AKB48 and SMAP

Well, it's really hilarious to see SMAP performing with AKB48 on Smap X Smap show with the ever hype girl group top hit singles like Heavy Rotation, Ponytail to Shushu, Beginner including their newest single Everyday, Kachuusha.



It's a pity that the guys did not follow most of the dance steps. It would be funny to watch though. Enjoy the vid;)
