So, for some reason I couldn’t finish watching the 4hr video of Janken (Stopped when Yukirin was defeated in the Top 16) before I went to start on the second part of RH (100-1). That as well I haven’t finished yet. I haven’t watched the Making Of yet neither have I finished the first Disc (100-76) but I have a galore of caps already, as per usual, but those will have to wait until I finish the whole thing before I post all of them (prepare your bandwidth). But for now, I am only mention those things that caught my eye most.
So, in case you have missed everything that has been going on today, the Janken Tourny happened a few hours ago and yo yo yo!I think like 90% of the Fandom came away with a re-kindled flame for the Family no matter how long one has been following the group! Seriously, this Janken was serious business! If anyone still has any doubts about Janken rigs, I have nothing to say to thee!
Without of course pouring water on anything, the winner of the Janken, to either get a solo single or a solo concert if they are already debuted soloists, was Milky. That is Watanabe Miyuki of NMB48 Team BII/SKE48 Kennin! Since I used to love her during the B days, I am happy for her. And she does have a bit of experience in solos so I am not worried in the least.
But that isn’t all. Despite the many worries of there not being a performance for the new COOL single, that didn’t mean that we can’t get an announcement and Jesus, did we get an announcement! The names kept on rolling and rolling to the point of me thinking that they are gonna pull one on us and announce every single member in the group. Luckily, we stopped at 32. Which is really, really still a lot! I shudder to think of the screen time each member will be getting, especially those in the lower numbers (Like you know who). The single is to be Double Centred by of course Mayuyu and…
wait for it…
wait for it…
SAKURA-TAN!
That’s right! The one and only Miyawaki Sakura! The other No.2 Kagoshima Princess in HKT, Our Yukirin being the Kagoshima Queen and No.2 of AKB. Quite the similarities these two have it’s almost too scary! Sakura, the girl that should have been(before Sasshi) should be (since it isn’t Sasshi) the centre of HKT singles but has been denied since the early days. The girl that has actually written her frustrations about this herself on her blog (Read It Here). Finally, she is finally getting Justice served her!
Sure Yukirin is still suffering under the boot and has yet to see the daylight which I guess made those Up there guilty when they saw how unfair they have been to both these Kagoshima power houses! To keep treating Sakura the same way they have been Yukirin would have been really a shitty thing to do and I was nearing my bend (as Sakura did) but thankfully, they gave at least one of them a break! Wish it would have been yukirin though especially at this moment in time where B seems to be hitting things off and a Mayuki single would have been most appropriate but alas.
But it is Sakura, and if no Yukirin, then Sakura is the best option and I am forever grateful that at least they went with this! We are getting close now. Yukirin can’t just help Mayuyu during the practice for this single and ignore Sakura seeing as they are both Centres (dreaming, dreaming!)
I of course, having had college today, I missed most of the Janken and only got to see one match of Yukirin during the Top 16’s battle for the positions (and No.1) so I totally missed the first three awesome matches that got her to the Top 16. My Goddess, where did she still the luck? Not only her though, Team B was on fire this day dear Readers! Especially My Favourite Draftee Sayaya who almost swept the whole house clean! In support was Naanyan and Goddess Yukirin. Really bad that neither won though. It’s wishful thinking of course but can you imagine a B triangle at the top of that pyramid? Then there is the 38th Single Senbatsu filled with more B members! Like, I am so insanely happy right now!
Sure my goddess is like in the 7th line if we are going by the order of name announcements but really, what’s new? It wouldn’t surprise me if she wasn’t in this at all! I hope Avex is taking notes! Sure she is in the Janken Senbatsu as well but as per usual, she is also in the back line there too. Since this means that she won’t have that an important part in both these last two singles of 2014, she should be available for a Solo Concert not to mention a 3rd single, am I right!
Seriously though, when shall we have a MAYUKI single if not now when Mayuyu is AKB’s No.1 and Yukirin the No,.2! Probably when she gets that Top spot in the Election. Well, that does it, I am multiplying my efforts by 7 now from last year! You started this AKS, it’s so on!
In the meantime though, Mayuyu please take care of Sakura like Mamarin has you. And I hope you pass on some good things about Sakura to Yukirin and Sakura, take this chance to appeal to Mayuyu about Yukirin so she can pass it on. Then again, I have a feeling Sakura is gonna get out the big guns and take the battle to Mayuyu for Yukirin’s affection. Oh shi…Is this it? Will this decide it all? Oh God, now I can’t wait for the after-effects of this single! Something is gonna change, I can just feel it! Okay, this is better than a Mayuki single for now!
Good Lord!
The girl from Yukrin’s real home VS the girl that is Yukirin current home (Home is where the heart is)…MY BODY IS READY!
Any way, skip over for more photos of these wonderful Oshi of mine and Mayuki (BOC)!
So I was watching these latest Kokoro vids and at first I was all super hyper from all the Mayuki and in the case of Count Down TV, Yukirin sandwiched between Rena and Mayuyu as in the caps above! Such a great moment in and of itself. But then I tuned my Goggles to >9000 and it is then I noticed Sakura-chan!
In the very first cap, while Rena is all happy in her own world (who wouldn’t?) sitting next to Yukirin, she is of course unaware of the heated gaze of jellies being directed her way from Sakura! I swear to God that look! I just got a serious flashback from the Sousenkyou from that gaze. Sakura still hasn’t forgotten and neither has she forgiven it seems.
And while in the middle cap you would think that at least Mayuyu would be safe from all Yukirin’s lovers because they know Mayuyu will always be first and thus no need to waste energy and happiness grudging, then you haven’t met Sakura! The gaze she gives Mayuyu is even more poisonous than the one she gave Rena! You best watch your back…Queen!
Seriously though guys, this is not just me being a super shipper, right? Sakura is at her limits it looks like to me. And she is at that dangerous age where one feels like they can do anything (sweet 16 am I roit?)
Just look at the way she looks at Yukirin in this OP of the latest Music Station when Yukirin is talking about the festival she went to with Miichan! Love, what is it? A girl with those eyes will do anyything! I am starting to fear for Rena and Mayuyu’s lives!
But that is only for the last resort. For now Sakura is beginning to fight just as we have been wishing (you know what I mean Willmark). Take a closer look at that AKB48 Show Opening as Sasshi, Mayuyu and her go back to the stage. Love that little touch management did BTW, it could have been the Top3 having that talk but while I would be royally pissed had it been any other girl, somehow it being Sakura makes sense. Okay, I guess AKS isn’t that clueless.
I don’t know about you but to me it looks like Sakura used this chance to her advantage. There was no need to pass so close to Yukirin, with that cute way of running, arms trailing far enough to touch Yukirin just in case her body doesn’t! And she did touch Yukirin, I saw the dress moving! my goggles can’t be deceived!
These reactions from them say it all…Just kidding ^^
Seriously though, I hope Sakura gets more confident and starts approaching Yukirin. it took Rena 4-5 years sure but she got there. Then again Yukirin wasn’t as evasive towards Rena than she is towards Sakura, not to mention they don’t have any connections like she and Sakura do.
You know, while Sakura was making fun of Sasshi and Mayuyu being in the same room, I wonder if she thought of herself being in the same room with Yukirin! I hope Sashiko took notes and will make it happen! Just think off it – Sakura and Yukirin in a room, just the two of them!
Yeah, I can’t picture it either. There is just something dangerous about these two getting together and I don’t even know what. Does everybody feel it too? Is this why we haven’t gotten them two alone together? Hm…
Any way, I am doing research right now on summons! If it takes Black Magics to get these tow together, then off to summon Satan I go! I love it greatly even now but after playing that Kuchi Utsushi performance (You know which one!) countless times, I need something else! It’s been like 7 months or something! So I am doing some voodoo magic for either this year’s Utagassen or RH 2015! It has to happen!
On another note,
AS THANK YOU. FOR MAKING US WHAT WE ARE TODAY.
My Goddess, we don’t deserve you!
I tell you guys, I have never been so proud of an Oshii! Definitely my Kami! Always having such great words to say and if they are not about us fans, then they are about something else selfless!
I love her!
All those who want her to be selfish (especially for the Sousenkyou) don’t understand Yukirin! Giving up on her because she lacks the hunger for Top is just…
Sigh
She works hard for us not for her to be No.1. It is the reason she always smiles, always. She is having fun to make us have fun watching her perform. I wish others would understand this.
So, Lolly asked me what my No.1 ships were in the 48 Family and X21 so instead of a quick comment, I am using this post for some pics sharing and a wider word spread!
None of these should be a surprise really to all who have been Readers of Yuri goggles for a while now. MAYUKI dominate the Main Dorm in Akihabara, WMatsui, despite the fact that they are a professional ship still are my favourite even as I have yet to see blog pics of the two being lovey dovey. Seriously I know they might be busy or something but still…Not even one!?! Talk about bad Fan-service! Thank the Lord for the PVs!
HKT is mainly about my personal tastes than anything else because I have yet to find an actual honest to God couple. They all haven’t found a firm ground yet being all flighty, maybe Madoka/Natssun. I had found a grounded ship in Chori/Aanyan but alas, they went and dismantled them with the transfers! And speaking of transfers…

SAYACCHU T.T)/
Damn you management, damn you! All the fucks I’ve given about NMB since the shuffles have only to do with Yukirin and we all know how little of her appearance in there is. NMB has gone from being my favourite group and Team N almost thrashing Team B for favourite Team and me watching every single N stage to me not even caring anymore! They even split up my Shuuka, like…
I guess I under-estimated how much Maachun really meant to me. Seriously I thought I loved that girl but not to this extent! I didn’t think her leaving NMB would make me lose so much interest in it to the point of not even watching any of their stages! Since new team N’s debut, I haven’t seen a single NMB stage! I don’t know how she affected me so. Before, I watched almost all Teams’ stages even the KKS (Thanks to Riichan 24hr TV getting me interested in them BTW) but now…Paruru gives more fucks about anything than I do NMB!
Anyway…moving on! It was a hard decision to decide between Yumi/Reika and Ikomiona but my love for Ikoma-kun and Hocchan totally cheated the test to have a perfect score! There is just something about those two and Hocchan’s hobbies give that un-expected spice to the relationship whereas Reika and Yuki are your typical perfect couple and we have enough of those going around so…
As for X21, MaiMai and Miho are still my favourites. I never get tired of the way they watch each other during interviews when the other speaks and how they somehow always end up next to one another. Now granted if you were asking me who was my favourite from their TV show, then of course Rina and Ichigo totally take the cake but that is only within the show’s universe. Outside in the real world, I actually ship Ichigo with someone else so…
Any way, I hope this answered your question perfectly Lolly! Be seeing you around (I hope)
This is the first time I’ve seen Yukirin using Mayuyu’s lap (Anyone’s for that matter)! Kind of not the situation to do it too which makes this a joyous occasion! I really was right – Yukirin’s feelings towards Mayuyu (Or the way she shows them) has really changed!
Seriously these two>.<
Any way this is a new TV show (?) about AKB48 members giving out part-time jobs to citizens! Not really sure about the actual concept of the show but episode one was with Mayuki and looks like episode two will as well be them. Not sure if they will be the hosts for the whole show. Probably not though.
This first episode they got three girls to help with their All Night Nippon radio show and one of them was actually an actress that Mayuyu had worked with before!! Yukirin seemed really proud (and shocked) of Mayuyu for remembering. I too really. All three were really cute though! Mayuki sure have an eye for beauty!
Anyway it was fun watching Mayuki being Mayuki, chilling in the back of the mini coach while scouting out girls in the streets through the windows!
Kind of wish though that Yukirin would come back to AKBINGO, now that Sakura-tan and Maachun have started showing up. Probably not gonna happen seeing as French Kiss have a new show as well. Oh well…
