My dictionary, it fails me! For I have no words to describe this week’s episodes from Nogizaka46! and HKT48’s new battle shows. These shows are simply crazy people and this week was simply far out, well, where HKT is concerned.
For Nogizaka, last week was the craziest. That being said, Ijiri outdid himself this time around in the Back-stage pranks he pulls. Not only did he wear Nojo’s cap, but he wore Manatsu’s new dress, some childish panties (I hope they weren’t hers as well ^^) but he took Hashimoto’s lip bam, placed it in the band of his panties then proceeded to…eat it!
Needless to say, the girls’ reaction was spot on!
As good as that skit was though, it’s TMSG’s episode that takes the cake! That camera-man was just…not expected!
I’ve been noticing a good deal of Sakumeeru lately…
Gay subtext in a movie you shouldn’t watch
Finally gotten around to the awaited Itou2
Natsuki’s jelly levels could feed a whole country
H!P is still trying hard to win me over again, now with the help of smileage
And I find myself wondering whether Sasshi is an HKT or AKB member!
I mean, she was even among the KN members and had their uniform too and not HKT48. I remember someone mentioning that now that she is centre, she is gonna be drugged back to AKB, I guess their speculations are turning into facts now.
I have been recruiting ships to strengthen my fleet ever since that post and yes, Black and Gekikara are still at the top and I really doubt they will ever be de-throne’d, if even Mayuki couldn’t do it I doubt anyone can. There is of course more I have my eye out for but they haven’t just cut it well enough to be recruited. For now, let them know I am keeping my eye on them.
Here are those that got to me with enough force to be added to the Fleet!
A lot of people…A lot of delusional people just died within Mayuyu’s mind at that moment in time I am sure of it!
‘This is bullshit, right?’
Not even Yuko was pleased! Nay, was anybody in AKB pleased this elections?
‘I call total bullshit!’
I don’t think so! I mean even the Stalker Acchan graduate is all like…
This is a joke, right?
Right? Some one tell me this is a prank.
…Anyone?
Dafuq am I gonna do now?
I could have played it before in a way that seemed like I was congratulating Yuko once more at her victory. Now what?! I am supposed to officially pass on my torch to the new Face darn it!!
Fuck this..I’mma outta here…
Meanwhile the next Face…
‘Soon bitches…soon!’
Mayuyu was so not happy on this day. I feel embarrassed now for getting so mad at Maachun’s ranking when Mayuyu was in the worst state. ^^ It was really painful watching her trying very hard to smile during her speech. Strange seeing a cyborg struggle to smile I tell ya >.<
Seriously though, anyone think that Acchan was there to officially do the deed with Mayuyu had she gotten 1st?! I mean it wouldn’t make sense to make the drama with Yuko again. That’s redundancy but I am sure she would have done it to cover for Mayuyu not taking 1st.
Too bad she had to happen…
Good job Sasshi, hope you enjoy your throne. You know what they say about ‘Up There’.
First, I wish to apologise for making you worried, well, some of you who were nice enough to. I assure you though that there is nothing majorly wrong with me other than my poor heart that was threatened of death during this last Sousenkyou. Believe me, if something that bad does happen to me, I have sisters and a brother to let you all know that this is IT – No more BG! For now though, it was just a matter of the heart.
Now, before you go jumping to conclusions about what exactly, or who, made me like this, I have to dump cold water on you by saying that it has nothing to do with any Top 10, let alone Top 40. No, my attempted killer in the NMB48 fans that oh so butchered my NaMBa Oshii Maachun – Ogasawara Mayu! That’s right, Maachun’s ranking is the reason I almost gave up on this crazy Fandom! It wasn’t the fact that our representative is SASHIKO! Despite that fact alone being all kinds of wrong that Sasshi is now the rep of all Idols in Japan (What? She is at the top of AKB which is at the top of the Idol Business so she is the one that is supposed to be an idol for all the dreamers out there hence all the wrongness of it) Maachun’s ranking is what really got to me the most this fifth time around.
To really grasp how un-fair her position is, let’s go basic. Think of Sayanee’s position, then Milky’s. Think of NMB48 during the beginning when these three were considered the Ace of Triangle as they would appear in shows mostly the three of them. Think of all that love that seemingly is targeted towards Maachun during N theatre performances. I am sure I am not the only one who gets the vibe that she is loved the most while watching them, seriously! Think of the girls’ current personalities in NMB48. Then think of the three’s (SayaMilkychun) ranking in this 5th Senbatsu Sousenkyou.
Now tell me that that gap is not the most unfair of things.
Here is something I tried to do and I wished I shouldn’t even ever have thought of doing it in the first place – I tried to imagine NMB without Maachun.
“…”
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO IT!
Seriously, how? Why?!! Her ranking doesn’t make sense to me whatsoever! No matter how I think of it there just isn’t sense to it. From an already disappointing 60th last year to a measly 54th this year! How?! Why?!! I don’t get it?! Someone explain to me what Sayanee or Milky have that places them boundaries ahead Maachun?! I just can’t figure it out! Someone who should be ashamed of themselves once said to me that it’s because people prefer Idolish girls! To this logic I say – HUH?!!! Maachun is a comedian but she is an Idol comedian. She has what Idols have (Great dancer and performer – so much so she is the replacer of SayaMily when they are absent – I still can’t stretch how important his fact is, Cuter than 40% of the senbatsu rankers, has the bro-some powers of Sashiko – in that she really gets easily along with other girls) and on top of all that she is incredibly funny – NMB is supposed to be about the funny! And then there is all that Maachun chanting during stages!
Where is the logic of her ranking in all of this?! Let me point out who the Center is. Let me ask why Sayanee is ahead of Milky. Maachun not Idolish enough?! Don’t even…God, the more I think about it the more I feel like shutting myself in once more until next year or something!
And the gap between her and SayaMilky is not all. I understand Nana being ahead of her because of her exposure in that weekly show she had until last year so I guessed that her being fourth I could handle – Not that she was fourth, she was fifth because Ainyan got the better of her. This year I was sure she would at least close the gap between her and Nana and be a true fourth but did that happen?! Hell no! In comes not one, not two, not three but four, FOUR!!!!!!!! PREVIOUS NONE-RANKED GIRLS going passed her. THEY ARE ALL AHEAD OF HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keicchi (40th)
Fuuchan (44th)
Shuu (49th)
Akarin (50th)
Akarin, I am happy for because I have always wanted her to rank. I still think of her as the centre for Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo and not Milky. But then there was that thing that got her booted for half a year which saw her not ranking that last Sousenkyou. And so I wouldn’t have thought her to be ahead of Maachun but viola, she is. But as I said, Akarin I can understand. But the other three?!! Keicchi? Fuuchan?! Shuu?!!!!!!!!!!!! I now understand that meme of ‘mind blowing’ and its real meaning. Forget Fan-ism, some things are just not right naturally and Maachun being the last ranked NMB48 girl is most definitely one of them!
And so there you have it my dearest readers. It wasn’t Sashiko being the Centre of the world that means the world to me second only to the world of yuri, that almost made me quit this world of Idols, no, it wasn’t that. It was Maachun – Ogasawara Mayu’s ranking that almost did it! One thing is for sure though, I have lost hope in some of my fellow fans of this fandom and my love for the Family has fallen by almost 60%. Now it’s almost purely on my Oshiis to keep be grounded in this fandom, and the yuri of course. I haven’t watched an AKB show in like…forever…(Not since that episode on AKBINGO). An HKT show without Sakura is dead data on my HDD, I only screen through Geinin now…Everything is just so.
And all because of Maachun’s ranking!
If anyone can explain her ranking to me please, try!
