Battle for Yukirin
Uza, UZA, UZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I am in a very pleased mood guyz, I really am. Even the fact that Paruru (insert bell sounds here) won the center position (can I snicker?) I can’t help but be happy overall thanks to the other happenings that overshadows that fact!
One, Yukirin finally made it into Janken Senbatsu after failing two times! Well, she failed to get to the 1st Gen auditions of AKB (because of the distance and) after failing the 8th Gen auditions of morning musume, but she got in at her third try. There are so many thirds with Yukirin that she actually puts the charm in ‘third time is the charm’ and the magic in ‘3 is a magic number’.
So yeah, she was OWN’d by plot-device Paruru so she did not go any higher but at least she is in the Top 16.
And so is Tomochin, who is also a first timer in Janken Senbatsu. On the other hand, Kojiharu finally got out of senbatsu for the first single ever! Talk about karma!
Mayuyu is still the unluckiest senbatsu girl ever, even with the magic wand of having to battle only once to get in, she was POWN’d! Well, at least she was very happy for her Mom for finally making it. Also, she had her other half of WWatanabe to keep her company in the losers’ section so all is good.
Second, wait for it…UZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I love this title so very damn much because of a couple things: One, Starting with the title itself, which means (to annoy/annoying) I find it appropriately titled because for the love of God, those Dudes are as annoying as hell! For crying out loud I hope they get deleted from the PV because I am gonna skin a cat if they are still there! Seriously, think of how winrar this single would have been had the girls done the mens’ dances themselves. Seriously! It would be the first ever 2mil seller in a week! But nooooooooooo, they had to put men in there! Seriously, what’s with the Dudes in AKB’s latest releases?!! FUCK! I hope NMB doesn’t get this disease as well. (which has already happened somewhat with the Black and White team B-Sides of the last single). Very UZAAAAA indeed!
Double centre Jurina and Yuko seems is going to be the norm where Acchan was the norm in non-senbatsu singles. This makes Team A center, then team K center so all is left is team B center. I am counting on you Mayu—–FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I forgot that she is in Team A now!
Damn it all!
Go on Yukirin, take her down and bring glory to Team B.
But wait, though not official yet, Paruru is a member of new Team B, so essentially, we already have center now.
Oh good, looks like the (plot) device is preforming it’s function already!
Also….SAKURA-CHANNNNN!!!!
Sakura has been added to the AkiP-16 (What I call non-election senbatsu) and by God, if she doesn’t look like she belongs!!!
Any way, UZAAAAAAAAAAAAA is a very lovely song and the Pv is gonna kick ass, if the guys are frikkin deleted from it! IThe song though is already candy to my ears and just like the previous two pre-Janken singles (a la BEGINNER and Kaze wa Fuiteiru) It looks like this is going into the top 10 AKB songs for me.
Thirdly, we have WYukirin (NaMBa Yukirin and Real Yukirin) or Aya-nyan/Yukirin or…whatever! Any way, it’s no secret (unless this is your first time hearing it) but NMB48, Team N’s Hikawa Ayame idolises our own Yukirin so much that she is even called the Yukirin of NMB! I don’t know why exactly though because they don’t look alike (even though I hear most saying they do) because to me Aya-nyan looks more like Paruru (even her mannerisms) than Yukirin. Is it the boobies?! Because she does have some on her and she is not afraid to show them judging by the get-up she arrived in on stage in-front of like 1000s of fans and also there is that pic!
Any way interestingly Ayame-chan, one who greatly adores Yukirin, had to battle Sae (No.1 candidate for Yukirin husbando) and break SaeYuki opportunity in order to meet Yukirin on the next level. I don’t know how she won, standing there in front of Prince Sae, I guess her love for Yukirin trumps over that.
Anyone care to guess who Yukirin was rooting for?
Look at the stars in her eyes! If that ain’t love…
Anyway, Yukirin won and even though she did not get the chance, Sae was still very happy for her as displayed by her standing ovation!
So, no Mayuki this Janken but at least we got this and
TomoYuki
TakaYuki
WOW!
First time I’ve seen Yukirin go all mellow like that with anyone!
~
And Finally, The most highlighted part of Janken Selections….
FASHION!
Talk about selling!
I am pretty sure that most members are gonna get a boost come next elections because of their confidence through choice of attire in this Janken!
You just wait!
I mean, hello, where else could you see…this much hotness outside of AKB?!
Fairies VS Bunnies
Policegirls VS House Maid
Puppies VS Banbies
Bikergirls VS Devil/Angels
Athletes VS Yankees
And many many more…
Okay, fine!
I will give AKB a few more years! It’s still has something no one else has so I guess I should wait before I switch gears!
UZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Janken Taikai? What’s that? You mean Appeal Taimu, right? Hahaha! 😛 And if pictures are worth a thousand words, then Sato Seira needs fuckin’ gifs because pictures don’t do her body justice.
Also really happy that Yukirin finally made it to Janken senbatsu! Never mind if she’s bottom of the barrel there. Good job after ranking dead last in the palm reading episode of AKBINGO! 😀
P.S. I’m pretty sure the Beat Buddy Bois are a one-time thing. It was a special joint performance for the Budokan, which means: Yay! no more Exile-wannabes crowding the stage in the future!; but also, Boo! No more scorpion dance from Yuko, Yui, Sayanee and Takamina. <_<
September 20, 2012 at 16:52
I gave up a long time ago at hoping for a front Yukirin in singles. Even the senbatsu where she is high ranking don’t do anything for me because AkiP will just shove her back in the shadows come none senbatsu singles so….I am just happy she made it in at all.
Unless Seira was in the few minutes I scrubbed the vid, Was she shown at all? Believe me, there would be tons of gifs of her but alas.
As for the dance, I hope they leave them in in the original. Think of the eyegasms!
September 21, 2012 at 00:01
Unless they showed a different stream back in Japan, then where the hell did these gifs come from?



Yeah, I’m hoping they somehow leave the dance intact. If they really need back-up dancers, then they should just take the best dancers from every groups and use them, not the guys. -_-
September 21, 2012 at 00:34
DAFUQ?!!! O.o
Okay, Taimu to re-watch that vid, frame by frame!
September 20, 2012 at 16:42
Ko-kojima-san….
OTL
I am super depresed over her loss,
Right now, being a Kojiharu-oshi is suffering… (;_;)
September 20, 2012 at 16:56
And she had on her lucky panties too >.<
September 20, 2012 at 17:10
Well, I guess she should have kept wearing her red dress as it was her lucky colour and item xD
September 20, 2012 at 17:29
Indeed. But she had to wear that yello out and bear white! If only those were red silk…Sigh!
September 20, 2012 at 16:46
Well after past efforts I’m just glad Yuki is in the Senbatsu!!!
Aww TakaYuki, they seem to be getting closer, me-thinks both of them are trying to fill the Acchan sized whole in their lives perhaps…….
And you know how I feel about TomoYuki, or YukItano as I dubbed them…….
As for the battle for Yukirin, wiell, Ayanyan winning was OK I guess but as soon as I saw that rose I was fully behind Sae, I’m sure it was for Yuki………
September 20, 2012 at 16:58
‘My Body is ready’ VS ‘Be my Princess’
Hmmm
I was a little caught in the middle but now I am happy she won. The poor girl probably had never even touched Yukirin until then
September 20, 2012 at 23:56
Well it was pretty darn sweet when Ayanyan was pretty much reduced to tears by seeing Yuki, and Yuki being Yuki, she was really touched by the whole thing as well as this is not something that happens to her an awful lot from other members.
September 21, 2012 at 00:35
Indeed.
Now all she had to do was take Ayanyan right there…I mean, she was basically ready to be served…to Yukirin!
September 20, 2012 at 17:12
Yukirin has officially joined the ALL-ROUND SENBATSU club with Acchan, Mariko , Kojiharu, Miichan and Tomochin. They’ve been selected by all existing means to be part of the Senbatsu: By AkiP’s pick, Election and Janken! On Kojiharu’s fall, no record is eternal, as Acchan got kick from senbatsu by Sayaka last time around, Kojiharu was destined to also get kicked out!
I’ve also said this many times but Acchan and Yukirin had an almost identical AKB friend circle! There is tons of Mariko, some Tomochin and Miichan references on her blog and since Flying Get, Yukirin practically consolidated her bond with Yuko and Acchan as well as began to link more with Kojiharu and Takamina.
Uza, is a catchy song with an amazing choreography, I do agree the dudes made the whole thing somewhat annoying, just the gals it would’ve been awesome! Another Acchan coincidence, just like Yukirin when she got her Janken senbatsu position, she wasn’t at the front positions!
After some research I’ve come to notice that there are too many “coincidences” between Acchan and Yukirin…
September 20, 2012 at 17:28
They are like the sun and moon indeed.
Actually, if Yukirin wasn’t so tall (which is apparently the reason she is backed off) she would so be center offensive to Acchan and Yuko.
Not surprised about Jurina since she was plastered with a ACE label from the very first appearance she made. Had AkiP made in any more obvious as to her plans, the world would flip an axis!
September 20, 2012 at 17:44
I think, Yukirin isn’t centre position because as you see with French Kiss she eclipses the others easily though it probably would’ve been fun to watch Yukirin in front and Acchan, Yuko and the other top members pushing her. Usually Yukirin seems to take things so calm and only warms her engine, but with Acchan and Yuko around her she seems to put the pedal to the metal–I’m not good with English idioms!- Jurina is still green, she was time to mature whilst the likes of Mariko, Yukirin and Yuko are on almost at their pinnacle.
As you know I have an AtsuYuki obsession, I say with confidence their synergy was the best in all of AKB! Those two would so totally be rocking UZA! Can’t wait for the release of their Team Surprise single alongside Yuko…If karma is fair well see those three in a project outside AKB soon–crossing my fingers!
September 20, 2012 at 17:54
Ah yes!
Team Surprise ^_________^
Yukirin centre should be next in the surprise list, right?!
September 20, 2012 at 18:03
So it seems, the cover places Yukirin centre, I hope she actually is the unit centre, but can’t rule the posibility of being Mariko-sama the lead, she also has a great voice!! And then there are five singles after this until Acchan x Yukirin x Yuko single, I want another song from those three!
September 21, 2012 at 00:02
Hmm well certainly after she got third in the elctions she began spending time with the same people as Acchan and a well placed drama really did give Yuki the chance to get on more personell terms with Acchan.
In many ways its a shame that we will not see more of Yuki, Mayu and Yuko as a ‘top 3’ they have great chemistry together I feel and kinda wish we could have another year with them but what with Jurina and all, that does not seem to be the plan…..
September 21, 2012 at 00:05
…..
as for Takamina and Itano and others, well Yuki seems to get on alot better with these girls now, mainly through spending time together but Yuki has always been one who is generally slow to warm to people so it’s just a case that she now sees them more, and you never know, maybe with Mayu going to A she feels that she should spread her wings a little freindship wise.
September 21, 2012 at 00:40
Yukirin and Rena have that in common. They like the lone wolves….Opposite of other people that are all into other people’s business for company.
Now though, I am with you in wanting Yukirin to bond with more members. And with Miichan in the new B, I am finally seeing her getting the best friend, the one best friend, in Yukirin, finally, after all these years.
September 21, 2012 at 00:37
Indeed.
And Ginghan Check should have been about the trio but NOOOO, Another Top two whoring just like the last senbatsu Single with Acchan and Yuko!
Ahhhhhhhhh
My Poor Yukirin….
September 21, 2012 at 10:11
Yeah, I think Yukirin is kinda doomed not to ever be over focused on in a PV, I guess gingham check is the most we can hope for on that front, for full AKB singles anyway.
As for Mayu, Yuko and Yuki in gingham check, well the ‘double center’ thing seems to be the established way of doing singles ATM so as often in singles, Yuki seems to be one who loses out (I dunno if this is all about height like she, Mariko and Haruna always seem to be done over with or if there is more to it) but still, compared to what she got in Flying get for being third, Gingham was an improvement.
As for Miichan, well I think that Yukirin could definitely be that friend, she already likes Miichan and the thing with Yuki is that she tends to like the people she likes, as in if she likes you, she means it, I think a lot of girl, Miichan included know this and now they are both in B, they can really get closer.
listening to the commentary though I kinda wish Sasshi had gone back to team B as well, she, Yuki and Miichan would be great in a team together……
September 20, 2012 at 18:40
First thoughts: Why not calling this even a cosplay fest is beyond me… Also ponkotsu beating Moeno is beyond cruel… Also Uza… And the next janken song will be? “Ah, U~ru~see yo~?” Oh, wait! What? Never mind… (Free blueberry muffins for anyone who catches this reference!)
Hold on a sec? Is that only me who doesn’t like this song? Oh, I’ll be trolled so hard after this comment… I can’t wait -_-
But still this song sounds like one of Tomochin’s singles… seriously…
But seeing Yukirin more in a companion of TakaMina… suddenly this tomato tastes sweeter a bit… And what the? Another Yukirin? C’mon! Oh god, why? But still it would be better seeing Yukirin as a next ace than that ponkutsu… 100000000000x better in fact…
[Kragorin owning count: +1]
September 20, 2012 at 20:30
How could I not like it, when Yukirin is rocking the costume! The choreography is also energizing and the lyrics are catchy–by extension the tune- but I agree Black-chan here that the dudes ruined what was and hoping still be a certain hit! Though on a personal note, I don’t like the double centre concept, it’s just taking camera away from gals like Yukirin or Mariko-sama! Other than that UZA is rather cool…Maybe Yukirin wants to gather intel on what Takamina knows about Acchan, to launch her conquest offensive, fufu!
September 20, 2012 at 23:43
Indeed, Yukirin was sexy as hell in that costume. Those legs….
Too bad there was almost zero screen time for her, but I guess the screentime she got in the actual Janken makes up for it….? Or not
September 21, 2012 at 02:54
We need more Yukirin on screen! I find it odd, AkiP was the one to pass Yukirin during the 3rd Gen auditions yet she gets really little support from him and she’s been rather put to herd the group, while others like Mayuyu–whom Togasaki had a hard convincing the other judges to accpet- get more spot light. Exposure is important for an idol. But Yukirin is like a German Sheppard, loyal, trustworthy and obedient, she embraces her roll without complaining…I hope her up coming solo marks the so much needed Yukirin surge! If she does great while solo, definitely centre position is achievable!
September 21, 2012 at 12:48
Well, I heard that Yukirin is expected to be the most successful Solo so we shall have to wait and see.
If AkiP doesn’t butcher her with shity songs! >_>
September 20, 2012 at 23:45
Nah, Next single will be – SHOKKAKU!
For more than one reason…
And I was looking forward to your reaction to some TakaYuki loving we saw ^^
September 20, 2012 at 22:09
I actually love this time of year. Screw back to school, and november mock exams, or whatever – this is the time for AKB-awesomeness.
River.
Beginner.
Kaze wa fuiteiru.
UZA.
These songs are the reason I love AKB48 so much.
September 20, 2012 at 23:42
FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU
I totally forgot about RIVER!!!
Hmmm, I guess I am safe, in that there was no Janken in 2009 (But there were teh shuffles!) >.<
September 21, 2012 at 16:50
Totally dig the aqua blue swimsuit.
