Team Nemousu Hotplate Session
We had a hotplate session at Lyn's place on Saturday and it was FAB. Lots of food and wagyu beef. Had an AKB48 semi-marathon session afterwards. Thank you Lyn for being a great host!

AKB48 22nd Single/2011 Senbatsu General Elections
I want to encourage them to keep up this good attitude, even if they think their hard work through sweat and tears didn't pay off.
I want to hug and tell them I appreciate it, even if they think of giving up.
I want to tell them all they're number 1 to someone, even if they didn't make the Top 40.
There's so many things I want to.
It doesn't matter for I know there're many out there who want to too.
Now, on with the results.
[Center]
1. Maeda Atsuko – Team A – 139892 Votes – "I thought several things this year. There are so many fans who support me, but I felt alone... I think there are people who hate me, but please, don't hate AKB. I am going to work even harder so that you can recognize me. Yuko, I think you're the one who has always pulled AKB forward. I will be happy if you can support AKB together with me."
[Media Senbatsu]
2. Oshima Yuko – Team K – 122843 Votes – "Other people say a lot of thing, like "elections should be one vote per person", but for us, number of votes represents your love for us. Hebirote is a song I cherish. I will sing and dance at my best in the next song too. I still haven't received last year's trophy, so give it to me, I want to keep it as a souvenir!"
3. Kashiwagi Yuki – Team B – 74252 Votes – "I wondered if it was ok for me to be 3rd in early announcements. I was scared, but I thought to be here I need ambition. I felt frustrated at being 8th last year. I was cut away from 7 people activities too, but thus won't happen anymore. I'll do my best."
4. Shinoda Mariko – Team A – 60539 Votes – "I felt dizzy everyday, and I felt anxious, but I am grateful for your support."
5. Watanabe Mayu – Team B – 59118 Votes – "Last year I was #5th too, so I feel set here, or rather, relieved. But I won't be manipulated just by (vote) numbers. I'll believe in you and do my best."
6. Kojima Haruna – Team A – 52920 Votes – "This year, too, I was very uneasy over the elction period. The fans told me to relax but after all, I thought of a comment for #10 position. Maybe it's too late for me but from now on I will show you my true power."
7. Takahashi Minami – Team A – 52790 Votes – "My position has lowered, but Takahashi Minami is Takahashi Minami. I'm slowly getting closer to my dream. I will always do my best as a member.The members will increase, come and go, but I want to protect them from this position."
8. Itano Tomomi – Team K – 50403 Votes – "Last year I went from 7 to 4 but this year it went down again... but since there are fans who support me I'll do my best."
9. Sashihara Rino – Team A – 45227 Votes – "I can't believe I'm in media senbatsu. I have never had something I was proud of so far, but I am proud of this number of votes. I'll do my best to have lots of screentime in the next pv."
10. Matsui Rena – Team S – 36929 Votes – "I couldn't even imagine this when I joined SKE. I finally overcame that huge wall."
11. Miyazawa Sae – Team K – 33500 Votes – "Last year I received a wonderful position, but it was a year full of frustrated feelings. This year I will only look forward. I want to become everyone's Sae-chan."
12. Takajo Aki – Team A – 31009 Votes – "*has trouble standing up*cries loads* My wish to raise up 1 position has been granted. I did my best in French Kiss etc. I'll keep doing my best!""

We know that the AKB48 girls are full of initiative but Sae just pushed it one step further with her proposed modeling pose of... pretending to be kissing Sayaka while sitting on her lap.
Sayaka was not amused... I think the last thing that she wants is to be slapped with another 'scandal'.
Sae still likes to interact with her fellow members.

Maeda's Top on Elections, yet AGAIN!
Acchan's teary acceptance.
Maybe her new haircut brought her that extra push (as if she needed it) luck.
2011's biggest winner was of course, Yukirin, her stint as weather girl brought her to no. 3.
Sae-chan gotta ganbatte already. Sayaka, no more no. 17 in 2012!!
Takamina too, slipping down since year 1.
The usual suspects need to buck up! Ganbatte! We're rooting for you!
Is this the final result for the 3rd Senbatsu General Election???
Woah, Yukirin raised to no. 3! Hmm... & Acchan took back her #1. Mariko-sama... My heart breaks when I know she is #4... Haiz... Nevermind, GANBATTE kudasai!!! Tomochin, she has done well. Competition is really stiff this year round. Yui! Made it to Top 20! Rena is #10 liao?! Sae, Sayaka, ganbatte too! :)
How I wish I can watch the Senbatsu GE soon.

Didn't noticed her until I watched Majisuka Gakuen II
:) I just added Yui Yokoyama to my fav list. Spotted her in Majisuka Gakuen II. I know I am evil, but the girls in AKB are just too cute & sweet. My list will increase slowly till it reached 48.
Are you gasping for breath? Are you looking for your jaw? Are your eyes popping out? I bet my last dollar that you're having all of the above mentioned. ;)
