Fortune cookie was their last "hit" single I feel. While the following songs have no doubt sold well, I've felt little impact from the songs themselves.

I don't mean last as in final, I mean like... Most recent lol. Who knows what the future will bring for them :-p

So, we got preliminary results! http://www.tokyohive.com/article/201...ction-revealed

And Sasshi won!

Not sure if I like it though last year I voted for her x.x But I don't want to see Sasshi-center again :/

I'm happy for Paruru! I wish she stays in TOP 5 :heart

UPD: btw, first day sales of Labrador Retriever are 1,462,156!! To compare, last year's Sayonara Crawl got 1,450,881; 2012's Manatsu no Sounds Good had 1,170,554.

They're still selling like hotcakes! But yeah... Sasshi and Kyushu domination... I just don't understand why Sasshi is preventing even Mayuyu from getting the top rank... It's just - why is there more for Sasshi instead of Mayuyu??? (I don't even care about Sasshi!)

Rena Matsui at no.6? She deserves to be wayyy higher. And I'm okay with Sasshi as center, I kind of like her. I hope there are a lot of changes when the final results come out.

Katorena finally gettin justice

I. can't. stand. SASSHI.
gooood, not center again. let mayuyu be 1st for god's sake.

I've also been listening to NMB more than akb. I didn't particularly feel mae shika mukanee (and that says A LOT because i love yuko), and i don't care for labrador retriever. Nor suzukake nanchara lol. I agree on koi suru fortune cookie being their actual last hit!

No Kojiharu O_O
And the girl from Nogizaka46 isn't there, right ?

Why do the people love Sashi ?? Is her personality "amazing" ?

Oh, I don't know lots of the girls on the list

Just glad that Jurina is #3!!!

I guess.. we can't.. prevent Sasshi for being #1

Doesn't Sasshi get haters like Acchan did when she was #1 repeteadly?

Tokyohive only put the top 16, you can see all the top 80 here http://www.akb48wrapup.com/2014/05/a...inary-results/

At this rate, Sasshi could be the first member to win #1 for 2 years in a row huh? ><

^ Yeah... even Yuko supported her to get 1st 2 times in a row :/

I hope Mayuyu fans get more active and make her win, though I actually don't like Mayuyu, I just don't want to see Sasshi again.

I'd love to see Paruru 1st *_* I saw some Japanese fans calling for other Paruru oshi to vote for her. aww if I could I'd give all my votes to Paruru

Paruru is the center girl for Eien Pressure, right ?? She is so cute <3

Sasshi will win this again. The advantage she has over the rest is way too big... just like last year, so no discussion there lol

I'd like Jurina to jump over Mayuyu and crush her dreams of becoming center.
I like neither of them, but Jurina's worked her ass off since the moment she centered Oogoe Diamond IN TWO GROUPS and I'd say she just hit the middle of her idol life (that is, she can stay other 8 years in the group while others like Mayu and Paru are already 20... the idol life doesn't go much longer).

I love Mayu but I'd like Jurina get second spot too, she deserves it

Music Station performance



Somebody is singing live, don't say I didn't warn you

Sasshi looks like she didn't get enough sleep, her eyes are red

this is just crazy

Sounds very immature and stupid, god

:thud

Oh my goodness...

That has got to hurt... Hopefully Kawaei and the others injured get well soon...

WTF, just WTF. I feel so sorry for the girls and for the staff members involved. I hope everyone heals up quickly.

I hope they can be ok, I can imagine the horrible scene and I'm feeling horrible.
