I have noted there are about 8-9 members who are possible to make their first rank in this Election, who?
1. Matsuoka Natsumi (Natsu)
Natsu is now, getting more exposed in media, by appearing sensually in FRIDAY, and more magazine, she always gain more songs in setlist, like in Hakata Legend, she always brings 2 songs, the Seifuku Resistance and Kinjirareta Futari, she was also called as the beauty queen of the new Team H HKT48, and also in Indonesia, she also gained more fans, proven by more follower in her fanbase (follower is actually relative, though). but, this can be a great moment, looking at the handshake performance, Natsu has a normal selling, almost close to the front girls. I think, this election can be a new jump for her. My prediction is maybe, she gain Future or Upcoming Girls, but Next Girls will be the most surprising, is there any rich fans of Natsu there? we'll wait for the news
2. Moriyasu Madoka (Madoka)
Frankly speaking, she's my HKT oshimen, so, of course, i'll vote for her. She also gained some recognition from her radio program, that is still running, and also, more due to the TEPPEN event, where she only lose to Sakippe (the winner), and even she equalize Ikuta-chan! (Nogizaka46), could that be great? Magazine appearance also showed her popularity (FRIDAY, Big Girls, or anything), AKBINGO Lucky Rank also showed the truth that she'll gain more and more fans. But, unluckily, looking at the handshake, Madoka still didn't run well, last individual handshake, Madoka only gained little, only 1 for 17, is that bad? worse i think, also, looking at the mmm... Magic Gum, really dropped a lot (the competitor is Sakura, Haruppi, and Mio though, lol), but Japanese fans told that Madoka fans now is dropped, but, is it influenced?? Let's see. My prediction so far about Madoka is maybe, Future Girls, or Upcoming Girls, but Next Girls will be very shocking thing.. Let's see. (promote : Indonesian fans are having plans to vote for Madoka, check @Morippo_FansINA for more infos in twitter)
3. Yabuki Nako (Nakochan)
Yeah, Nakochan. the smallest member in 48family, until now, gaining center position only for first month before debut, gaining first senbatsu in Sakutabe in the 2nd row, and gaining more recognition through TV, magazine, and anything, is that the amazing debut? I think, i try to compare her to Meru, yeah, it's hard though, but Meru gained the first centre position (Hatsukoi Butterfly), only several months after joining, isn't that great? Looking at the thread in stage48 or even fanbases, Nako always becomes the main topic, and seems, she is almost on the way to substitute Sakura for HKT loli-ness icon, so, what is it gonna be? Nako-chan fans maybe needs to gather a lot, so they can consolidate their votes in Sousenkyo. Nako-chan also gained more bonding with Sasshi (and Mikurin though), so, maybe, this will be more amazing, and TEAM H promotion? So, how's it gonna be then? And also, joining the units for AKB48 Maeshika Mukanee? Baby Elephant units. So far, my prediction for Nakochan is just.. yeah.. Upcoming or Future Girls, looking at the consolidation from Nako-chan's fans
4. Tanaka Miku (Mikurin)
Mikurin, now, becoming the youngest member in 48family (i don't know if any JKT48 3rd gen member is younger than her, tell me), but, i think, is it due to her bonding with Nako or whatever, that she also gained more recognition so far? Gaining more handshake ticket events and beating some members (like Akiyoshi or even Mai-chan), she also joined the senbatsu for Sakutabe in the 2nd row, seems Sasshi also push her so crazy this year, but not more than Nakochan (Sasshi's favorite kids so far). My prediction for her is.. only, Upcoming Girls
5. Anai Chihiro (Chi-chan, Kyappu)
Our lovely captain, yeah, loli captain, she has been doing great job this year in HKT48, gaining more fans, even surprisingly, in stage48 new member ranking (independent stuff), Kyappu ranked in top 25, more than Nako, Mio, or even Meru (it's indpendent, though), also looking at handshake tickets, she's done great, she almost sold out in one event, one rank below Sakuratan and Sasshi, her selling is always stable, and she also gained more female fans now, remember her Birthday Event in HKT theater? The encore leader was a female, and more shout was heard from female visitors, how is that? Kyappu is also fan of K-POP, that thing really makes some international HKT fans tried to push her, remember also the Odekake in Korea? She found Korean fan! LOOK! HOW AMAZING IS THAT!!! Kyappu is also my favourite, to be honest. My prediction so far is Kyappu will go to Future Girls, or even, Upcoming Girls
6. Murashige Anna (Aanya)
Miss Mentaiko, the trying-to-be-funny member, and Russian monkey, she gained more recognition after gaining solo CM in Magic Gum, is that great? YES!! The fact that she gained concurrency in NMB48 is also great, so she can learn with Yukirin and Sayanee well, she's great tutor, i guess.. And, also, some Japanese fans also consider her as a threat for any HKT members, then. Mmmm... what else, yeah, she also has Kobayashi Yoshinori's attention (he is animator, and seems 48 family critics, then. note : he is SASSHI hater), he wants to adopt Aanya as a kid, lol. Looking at handshake sales, Aanya is doing good, and for the Indonesian fans movement is also great, she always offers to be the best for everyone, acting like a histrionic (read : exaggerating), but still great. My prediction for her is just.. Upcoming Girls,
7. Motomura Aoi (Aoitan)
HKT super crybaby, but not anymore, or maybe, not shown too often in TV, like what she did in some Hyakkaten episodes. But, yeah, Aoitan is surprisingly doing great, but she has less media exposure, we never see her in magazine (yeah last time was the Young Jump gravure lottery), or stuff like that, but, Aoitan is doing great in handshake, yeah, not that great, but.. still promising, she still remained senbatsu spot in the 3 singles, this is very great! My prediction for Aoitan is just... Upcoming Girls, but Indonesian fans are planning to gather votes for Aoitan, you can go if you want to
8 & 9. Fuchigami Mai (Maichan)/Akiyoshi Yuka (Yukachan)
Maichan and Yukachan, these 2 amazing second gen is amazing thing, i think, the fact that some fans underrate Maichan is quite.. disgusting, remember the fact that she is also one of the 2nd gen (besides Meru and Mio) that get senbatsu spot in HKT 3 singles?? Even the management and media didn't push her well. OMG! Yukachan since 2nd single is doing great, her theater performance is improving, skills are better, and she also gained spots in couplings of AKB48 Maeshika Mukanee (Baby Elephants also). My prediction for these 2 girls are only.. Upcoming Girls
We still have some more girls, like Okada Kanna, Nakanishi Chiyori, Tani Marika or even Kojina Yui! WHY?? Some news told that there is a rich japanese fans who gave Yoshida Akari (NMB48) 5000 votes last year already oshihened to Kojina Yui, but these 9 girls has strong position
Yeah, that concludes my prediction, but, don't rely much on this, it's just PREDICTION! Election is a miracle, you can't even predict Sasshi won last year, or even Shibata Aya will gain center for Undergirls, right? Or maybe, Miichan dropped to Undergirls, it's unpredictable, right? So, let's wait for this interesting event, and don't forget to show your support to your oshimen. no matter what.
