^Can't say I felt bad for her myself since I've really tried to like her but I just find her so incredibly boring. Center of UG isn't too bad a deal anyways imo.
My thoughts:
-WHY does Takamina not rank higher? I knew she wasn't going to win but I had hoped all of Acchan's stans would have voted for her since they're bffs, but I guess not. At least she beat Kojiharu this time, and by quite a lot too.
-Sashi ranking that high just baffles me. She's quirky and makes a few funny comments here and there but seriously what is so great about her? Her solo debut sucked and she just doesn't do much for me at all. I DO like her, but I'm just a bit sore that she ranked higher than Takamina and Mariko.
-Good for Mayuyu getting 2nd this year! When Yukirin was announced as 3rd and it kept showing Mayuyu and Yuko, I was somehow thinking Mayuyu might have ended up getting center for some odd reason, but it didn't happen. I wanted Yuko to get it anyways; she completely deserves it.
-Sucks for Tomochin. Whatever, she just needs to focus on her solo career and blow that out of the park like she already has been doing. I want an album ASAP!
-Super yay for Umeda, Chiyuu, and Kitarie! I wasn't expecting any of them to rank quite that high, so I was very happy about that.
-I feel REALLY bad for Matsubara Natsumi. That just sucks for her. I have no clue how crap people like Shawako, Shiichan, and Myao rank, but she doesn't
...also really sad for Uchida. Maybe her cocky appeal video rubbed people the wrong way.
-Wanted Yamamoto Sayaka to make it into senbatsu, but at least she ranked a lot higher than last year (and more importantly, ahead of Miyuki, if only by one spot).
-SKE overpopulating UG...not cool. That's all I'll say.
-Kaoru not ranking made me SO happy. I absolutely LOATHE her.
Despite some crappy results for some of the girls, I'm ultimately pretty satisfied this year!
