Request Hour ~Set List Best 100 2010~ (Prelude)

First things first is 'Prelude' the correct word to use? In 5 days time on 21 January to 24 January, AKB (with SKE and SDN) will hold their yearly concert at the Shibuya AX, and perform 25 songs each day (not including encores) for 4 days in a row. The top 100 songs will be voted by the fans out from a total of 255. The voting period is over. For most of us foreign fans, we are only entitled to 1 vote via the RIVER single. The Request Hour concert is basically a battle between the fans to see which song they like, but more importantly also a battle to see your Oshimen's unit in the ranking. This is especially if your Oshimen has graduated. Graduated girls are invited to perform for the concert if their unit is in the ranking. So the Hana Oshimens are gonna vote up Faint, Rinatin Oshimens...
