Crazy fans :gnash:tmad

^ I read that yesterday. That's insane.

How come re-arresting? Why did they let him go when they got him first? Poor girl, I hope she recovers and doesn't get visible scars as that could ruin her idol career :(

Acchan solo album? OMG Looking forward to this so much. I thought she'd never release music again after the long silence after seventh cord

she just reported him for bad comments and aggresive messaging. nothing to keep you in jail

Oh, thank you for telling me :D

Now, I hope they catch him!

also done. They found him after the incident and he confessed right away, still carrying bloody knife. now its jail time.

AKB is breaking ties with SNH48 therefore SNH48 will be no longer part of the 48-family.

SNH48 will create her own 48-system and will continue as a "copy group".

Turns out SNH48 created sister groups - BEJ48 (Beijing) and GNZ48 (Guangzhou) - without AKB48 permission...

Mariya Suzuki kennin as a result has been cancelled due to the SNH48 breakup with AKB48. And with Sae Miyazawa already graduated, well it seems SNH48 isn't something I'll follow at all...

(Then again, I haven't been paying attention to SNH48 very much either, but with this surprise news...I'm probably not following SNH48 anymore.)

Sasshi has won the election afain with over 240k votes.
Mayu didn't even come close with her 170k.

Yukirin went from 2nd to 5th losing like 70k votes.
Sakura lost like 2k but her position still went up lol
Akari makes a huge comeback, from 18th to 7th.

Takahashi Juri, Okada Nana Mukaichi Mion and Kodama Haruka enter senbatsu.
Tomu keeps rising like the star she is.

Kojima Haruna reveals herself as Nyan Nyan Kamen and announces graduation.

Such fun!

Did Suzuki Mariya ever take part in a SNH48 release?

Sasshi. AGAIN. UGH. (>_<)

Arguably this Sasshi scandal resulted in AKB48 forcing her to move to HKT48...I think AKB48 is going to really regret this decision. UGH!!!

Surprised about Yukirin dropping hard. What happened? And Kojiharu announcing graduation - finally! Been waiting way too long for such an announcement!

But, yeah, this Sasshi winning the Senbatsu election for the record two in a row and third overall - it really makes me think about Nogizaka46 even more. This AKB48G matter is getting a bit turbulent - in fact all Japanese AKB48G groups (AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, NGT48) represent the top five, which is pretty amazing, but who knows what will happen over the next twelve months or so...

Good thing Nogizaka46, despite the Sony affiliation that I keep complaining (and not just Nogi, but NGT48 that will be under Sony's Ariola, and Ikimonogakari, etc.), doesn't do such an election, for now...

I think Sasshi is in her own level now. I doubt even Aachan or Yuko could beat her in their top states. So to me, Mayuyu is doing great with 170K (I admit that I'm a bit surprised her votes could not exceed 190K at least, given that her votes were 160K last year, plus she had a single released a week after sousenkyo in 2015, so her votes were affected by the single sales).

I think probably last year scandal affected Yukirin a bit. But I think it's more about her mini tour was too close to the sousenkyo (like, a month or two before sousenkyo). Her wotas would not have much money to vote for her if they went to see her tour. Still I was really sad when the host called out "AKB" when he announced no. 5. I'm glad that she took it gracefully. In fact all top 5 were pretty graceful last night.

I was a bit surprised that Sakura's vote went down by 2k. And no wonder she cried like a baby when she gave her speech. I bet she thought she could get 85K at least. I was also a bit sad that Paruru couldn't make it into kami 7. Akari was good, but to be honest I dun really think she can be a kami 7.

I'd honestly trade Akari for Churi.

I'm a Sasshi fan so I'm pretty content with her getting the top spot. Congrats to her! I'm also happy to see Miichan climbed a few spots from the last senbatsu, maybe it'll give her a confidence boost.

I don't think so. Cause when Achan was in AKB48 the votes were not faked. In the past you were given a chance to vote only if you buy 1 CD (1 vote = 1 CD) but now there are plenty others way to get multiple votes. Like 1 fanclub subscription = 5 votes, etc.
