In "IDC , Musicnkisses Stop Posting This!": Japanese Girl Group AKB48 Holds Annual Election...
+ Produce 48 Rankings
* I didn't follow the drama around the Sousenkyo this year other than most of the popular girls sitting out. Idk if anything dramatic happened on the Japanese side, but Produce 48 will surely make up for it.
* ICYMI: Every year AKB48 does a special election to rank the most popular members of the 48G groups (meaning AKB and all of it's Japanese sister groups-SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, NGT48, and STU48). The 46 groups are excluded (for now). This year was the first year where girls from the overseas groups (JKT48 from Jakarta, BNK48 from Bangkok, and TPE48 from Taipei) to participate although JKT48 as a group elected to sit out due to Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr holiday.
* This year marked the tenth anniversary of the Sousenkyo elections.
* As I said before, a shit ton of the popular girls elected to sit out including three time winning LEGEND Sashihara Rino, always a bridemaids Kashiwagi Yuki, and underrated Queen who shoulda been on P48 Yamamoto Sayaka. Members like Watanabe Mayu and Kitahara Rie have graduated or in the process of graduating.
Anyway, Matsui Jurina finally won and Miyazaki Sakura was shook. You can't win them all sis (altho I hope Jurina snatches Produce from Sakura too).
Here's the top 100 girls

LMAO @ Sakura coming in third. The Produce 101 curse strikes again! Apparently she didn't take the customary group picture because she was crying/throwing a fit. She better hope that's not the case and news doesn't make its way back to Korea, because they already don't like her.
Also, only TWO girls from the overseas groups ranked, both from BNK48.
