Those are the senbatsu plus…

 

Matsumura Sayuri and NEW-COMER Akimoto Manatsu!

Actually, she isn’t really new since she was there at the beginning during the selections of the first Gen members but from what I understood, she had been away due to…complications (probably medical) but she is now back and just for her, the rules were changed!

Now it’s no longer ‘The Seven Deities’ but EIGHT DEITIES!

To the new ones, this Deity thingy is equivalent to AKB’s Kami7 (Or 8 now, what with the Tomochin Effect!)

And while in AKB it is never really explicitly mentioned, in Nogizaka selections the Deities are mentioned and by effect, they are at the front of the line-up for the singles.

 

I Ship ‘em so badly >.<

As we can see, Rina is forever the face (though this time she was actually beat in rank by Ikuta who came in at No.1 but really, she is still the centre so WGAF!) and thus the CENTRE and pulling out her sides are Ikuta and Minami-chan.

I just hope they actually do get a GAY PV to make me go bat-wing crazy! All that cuteness is simply wasted on ‘Bicycle singles!’

Give me ma yuri NGZ46 PV already, dear Yasusu-chan!

Peace….
