I don't even like her as much as Yuko but she gets mad respect for all the hard work she does. I honestly wish Yuko would have won too because Maeda is always in the center, but what it is is what it is.

I don't see any of the girls working any more/less hard than others. What do you mean? I'm not being *****y or anything; I just genuinely don't get what you're saying.

I think she works hard at what she does, as all the members do, it's just that people recognize her, they like her cuteness and her normal girl personality. People love her so they are willing to spend money to make her happy by giving her this position because she makes them happy. Personally I don't think there is anything else to it!

^If that's the case then I guess I just don't get it. Different strokes I guess. I like her, but I definitely don't love her. Yuko just cracks me up and I think she's adorable so that's why I definitely prefer her.

My thoughts:

YAY SAYAKA! I knew she would either stay in place or go higher.

Yay Sae! She dropped but that's okay.

Yay Umechan and Yuka!

Wow Jurina. Wow Rena. Good for Sasshi even if I don't like how she's been pushed much. Dang Tomochin dropped. Wow Takamina 7th!?

Yukirin 3rd?

Yuko did good. Congratulations to Acchan.

My copy of Koko ni Ita koto came today good to see other people here also got their copy.

I hope the B-side is something sexy this time....like Tobenai Agehachou or maybe like SDN's Tengoku no Door wa 3 Kaime no Bell de Aku....

You know.....now that Umeda Ayaka is in the center.

tbh, I thought the last Senbatsu election single b-side...was horrendous....horrid concept.

Oh I love Namida no See-Saw Game!!!!! I thought it was cute!! And the song is so catchy!! I thought they did a similar concept better with Kore Kara Wonderland though!

But I am also hoping for the next Tobenai Agehachou!! I can't wait to see what Ume-chan can bring to the centre!!

I wish I had my album already

I thought she was ugly when i first saw her....now that she's some freaky CG chimera, that just makes her (it?)....gross.

If she is real I'm really sorry about saying these things about some new girl

^AKS doesn't own it. Some random person made akb.com when they noticed that the girls were getting popular. The person actually put it up for auction on YAJ for 10 million yen. It made the news:

Who knows who the real owner might be at this point....
