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.
