You can vote for AKB48 / SKE48 / NMB48 / SDN48 songs only, no unit songs.


Voting starts from October 25th-November 30th
The serial number to vote comes with the 23rd single which is being released on the 26th October.

When we say unit we actually mean sub-groups right? Because when talk about our favorite unit songs for example, we generally talk about OO Stage's OO song.

I think this is a great idea for management to do it this way. It give a better chance of more SKE/NMB/SDN48 songs of appearing in the countdown and definitely more stage songs.

darn I thought it said tokyo dome(just that) for a while and thought "OMG WOW THAT IS HUUUUUGE" but nevertheless I'm looking forward to this~

[ｌａｌａ]

Unit as in Warota, No3b etc.

[Mei.ka~]

In the last Request Hour, didn't units get to perform their songs? Or is this now because of the new Unit Matsuri thingy?

Anyways, I really hope that Kinjirareta Futari gets performed and, if I had to choose for any single songs, I'd like if the older ones get performed over the newer ones. ^.^

[Erin.]

^ Yes, unit songs were performed last time, but it was largely nob3 and WH7, so it was becoming like an Ogi Matsuri (as Krusha wrote in the AKB thread).
I wish that Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru would be performed, but apparently it's not too popular with Japanese fans (or so I've read). But Sakura no Hanabiratachi should be there, and hopefully Skirt Hirari. (I like their old singles. )

[Krusha]

That they are excluding all sub groups from the 4 AX days and giving them their own 5th day, means there's a better chance of seeing songs like Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru, or Mori e Ikou.

These are old songs, so I realize it's probably an impossibly small chance for them to resurface with so many new fans, but if they do... I'm gonna scream

Question: Do you guys vote for your favorite song or for a song that your oshimen is in? or are the one in the same?

[Krusha]

If I can get ahold of limited edition singles (I have to wait til next week... ), then my votes will again go for units or songs Amina is in.

Sometimes people do it differently, maybe vote for their favorite songs, or songs that have oshimen in - with more songs question is do you vote for all or one specific?
In that case it can be wise looking into what song is the most popular of those, or check if your oshimen leaves some hints like "Please vote for ...." like Sasshii did last year.
They may express wishes like this during HS events or blogs etc.

If of course I was a billionaire I'd vote for oshimen songs, and my favorite songs. But yeah I'm not a billionaire so I'll have to limit myself ....

[Erin.]

If I had the money to vote, I'd probably vote for a favourite song, just because my oshimen doesn't really have parts in most songs. But I would also vote for WH7's Winku song, because Wasamin is in it (and I like the song). Of course, if she asked her fans to vote for a specific song, I'd do that.

[dev-null]

I vote for songs and not girls in this case. F.ex. if I had to vote for a favorite girl I should have voted for "Candy" last year, because one of my favorites (Yuka) is in it. But I'm not really a fan of this song. It is just too cute for my taste. I voted for Seifuku Resistance, last year.

But this year I probably vote for something in Team N direction. Though I'm not sure how stage songs are handled there since those songs were sung by some other teams (Team A or K) previously (so I don't know who would perform the song in the end — yes, I'm aware that contradicts my above statement: which team performs should be irrelevant, if I just vote for the song, right? ).

So I probably have to limit myself to the "NMB48" stage song or single songs which makes choosing a bit easier.



/end of rather random thoughts

[Blu-Cherri]

the songs vs oshimen thing is actually really tough for me.
Shiichans first unit is saboten to gold rush and I do actually really like the song but I also want to vote for some other songs like Mr Kissman, Keibestu(yes I love A4), Dareka ni Aisaretai, I'm Crying, Mori e Ikou...
There's so many when I start thinking about favourite songs so voting for shiichan's unit kinda makes the decision easier for me.

[dev-null]

On a second thought...
I definitely would vote for "First Love", but only if Erepyon would make an appearance.
But I don't know what the chances are for this really.

(Nothing against Mayuyu, but I don't think she fits this very song. )

[vutt]

That they are excluding all sub groups from the 4 AX days and giving them their own 5th day...

Is "5th day for units" your speculation or have I missed some important news?
Assuming that by 5th day you meant separate event.

[Krusha]

They are excluding all sub-groups such as DiVA, no3b, Watarirouka Hashiritai, French Kiss, etc. from all 4 AX days, and these will instead be on the 5th day, a new concept - the so called unit festival.

This is actually a pretty good idea, as it means you won't have to sit and watch no3b and WH hog all the spots in one or two days, and instead there's a possibility for more stage songs. And these unit songs don't disappear either, we get an extra concert day with them added.

[vutt]

Well, 2012 Request Hour Setlist Best 100 concert is scheduled for 4 days. So there cant be 5th day.
My question was more like do we already know when Unit concert will happen?

^ Thanks, I have missed that blog post indeed.

I guess details about whether or not we can vote for 5th day songs if at all will be revealed later.

[Alienpyon]

Just voted

One vote went to "Dakishime cha ikenai" and another to "Saigo no seifuku" (one one my old favourites and, at the same time, an awesome song that has made it only once in the top-100; hopefully it will show up again this year ).

This time, however, after voting, "An error occured" each time I offered to fill in the questionnaire.

[droopy10]

Just used my 2 votes, 1 went to "Dakishime cha ikenai" and the other went to B 4th's "Kataomoi no taikakusen ", both have my oshi, Moeno and she is the center of that unit song. Hopefully with no sub-group songs in this year the rank will go up from last year.

Hope with the revival concerts that older songs make it back.
