The elections are now halfway through and nothing significant has changed over the past week except that Jurina has moved to #14, Meetan pushes up to #20 whilst Sayaka dips further down to #23. Come on Sayaka fans, vote for her!! She deserves to sing on the a-side!! One more week to go before the final results are in.

seriously… they need to get rid of SKE48 members. it’s an AKB48 release right? I understand they’re trying to get them out there, but they need to make a name for themselves and work hard like the original team a members.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Jurina but I agree with you that it should be limited to AKB48 members only. If they insist on putting her in AKB48 singles then pull her out of SKE48.
SKE48 members will stay on AKB48 singles because they’re there to promote SKE48. They’re not that popular yet on their own so Akimoto is using AKB48’s popularity and including SKE48 front girls on AKB48 singles to arouse fan curiosity about the group.
Fair enough if SKE48 members are on AKB48 singles to promote themselves but will this change after SKE48 release their debut single or is the status quo set to continue until they’re well established?
