Do note that this is not the final result, and there will most likely be big changes from now to the final result on July, which is the case for all the previous year's senbatsu elections.

Usually, fans would submit only a few of their votes to test the market, and use the preliminary results as a guide to how they should distribute their votes amongst all their Oshimens in the various groups, or the fans would keep their votes until after the preliminary vote count, and then vote all at once so there would be a surprise sharp rise in positions, which was the case of Sato Amina in the 1st election. Unfortunately since then it's no longer a secret and is part of the tactics of many fans now, but I don't know if that's the reason why Amina did not rank at all in the preliminary results.

So it is quite shocking to see Sashihara Rino right on the no.1 spot with 28k votes, almost double that of the 2nd place holder Watanabe Mayu. During last year's preliminary results, the 1st place only had 15k votes. Do the Sasshi fans have something in mind? Or has Sasshi's fanbase grown leaps and bounds since the last election?

Another surprise is SKE48's Shibata Aya, who did not rank at all last year but somehow shot up straight to the 8th place. I don't recall Ayaya getting any major pushing the past year so I'm wondering where all this newfound fame came from. SKE's Suda Akari and Kizaki Yuria, and AKB's Shimazaki Haruka have also leaped from Under Girls to Senbatsu but those 3 have been pushed heavily.

Looking at the results overall, there seems to be just as many SKE48 members as AKB48 members. Maybe it's time SKE48 had it's own Senbatsu Election?

Do drop us a comment on who you voted for and why, and which members do you think deserve to be ranked but did not.

Stay tuned for the final result on 8th June, 2013, 05:30PM at the Nissan Stadium.
