AKB48 41st single Preliminary sousenkyo result is out – Sashihara Rino takes the TOP for the THIRD TIME!!!

Well – we’re not sure if we should be surprised with Sasshi taking the #1 again ( this is her third time in a row! )… what are your thoughts?

Bear in mind though, that even if this preliminary result does somewhat give us an insight to the fans’ movements, the end result that we will see in Yahoo! Auction Dome in Fukuoka on the 6th of June 2015 might be a completely different picture.

Quick refresher that this preliminary counted votes registered on the first day of Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai single release – so this effectively excluded votes from fans who purchased the single online ( and are still waiting for their delivery to arrive ) and those who didn’t pre-order their single.

Is everyone ready for the Sousenkyo preliminary results announcement? We'll be updating live on our site! (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) pic.twitter.com/WkNgItb28L
