So… as you should all know already by now, unchanged from the preliminary results last month, yesterday night (Japan time) at Nissan Stadium, Sashihara Rino (HKT48) was named the new center of AKB48, dethroning Oshima Yuko from the number 1 spot.

There will be much reaction regarding this –and apparently Sasshi antis have already wrecked havoc in 2ch– but the fact remains unchanged, the hetare girl from Oita prefecture that came to Tokyo to chase her dreams finally managed to wrap her hands around that #1 trophy that she’s been chasing for so long.

For us AKB48 fans, honestly it will be interesting to see what someone with a personality more fitting to be in a variety program than to lead an idol group can manage to achieve.

We’ve had Acchan with her girl-next-door image, we’ve had Yuko with her top-entertainer aura… a hetare girl with baggage in her past? Now THIS is new.

What are your thoughts regarding this year’s Sousenkyo?Did you shed any tears? Did you jump for joy so high that you broke a furniture?
Did your parents tell you to shut up and not scream like a madman in the middle of the night?
