AKB48 General Election moments

I don’t think it’ll ever happen again, but let’s share memories and everything.

I used to spend all my time in the live commentary and reaction threads.

1. [+49, -13]

Mayuyu the best

2. [+73, -3]

It was kind of horrible, making little girls and women compete against each other like that.

3. [+93, -5]

Back then, it was kind of a big event.
Everyone was watching it on TV.

4. [+96, -4]

The Kami 7 era was so much fun

5. [+78, -1]

I still remember the tragedy of Sato Amina, who ranked in the single digits in the first election but got completely sidelined in the MV.

6. [+70, -4]

I wonder how Mayuyu’s doing.
Hope she’s living a happy life.

7.  [+24, -1]

It was on TV, right?
Even though I wasn’t really interested, I ended up watching the live results online.

8. [+24, -0]

I wonder how much money those top votes actually represent.
It’s a crazy world.

9. [+41, -2]

Annin is already 29... 

10. [+8, -0]

Was it after Sashihara’s rise?
The day after the general election, weekly magazines started dropping scandal scoops about AKB members dating. Suto Ririka’s case was wild. I was surprised to see it even covered in stylish adult magazines.

Everyone at work was watching it together, lol. When someone was announced first place in the preliminaries and I was like, “Huh? Who’s that?” that's when I kind of lost interest 😆 So nostalgic—who was it again?

>> Ogino Yuka, right? The girl from Niigata? The one who got married recently.

>> Waa, it was that bully girl

12. [+15, -2]

It’s crazy to think they used to do live broadcasts during prime time.

13. [+15, -2]

I miss the days when it aired on regular TV with high ratings.
When Acchan took first place again, they even had special editions and breaking news.


14. [+63, -1]

The time when it was between Oshima Yuko and Maeda Atsuko was super hype!

15. [+40, -2]

Sutou Ririka’s wedding announcement and Mayuyu watching it with that indescribable expression.

16. [+17, -1]

I used to enjoy it back then, but knowing about Jurina breaking down from the pressure and Haruppi developing bipolar disorder during the election makes me embarrassed about my old self.

17. [+70, -2]

1st place Watanabe Mayu, 20 years old at the time.



18. [+68, -1]

The image of AKB48’s center is definitely these two.


19. [+15, -0]

Wait, it’s not going on anymore? I didn’t know that. Come to think of it, it was a pretty brutal event.

20. [+7, -2]

Isn't the program where ME:I was formed basically a Japanese version of a Korean audition show based on the AKB General Election?
