Here’s my latest 48group rankings using this online ranker:

AKB48
I was really surprised at how much my thoughts have changed this past year. I’ve really been into the new Team 4 members in general (at least as far as AKB48 is concerned). Seeing as how I’m heavily swayed by variety-type members, the team 4 presence on AKBingo is probably the reason for so much change here. The Biggest drop that I had to admit to myself was Takamina dropping from my original #2 overall, all the down to #6 here, although I still respect the hell out of her. Funny thing that the top 2 members here are members with concurrent group membership, considering they’re my HKT48 and NMB48 favorites it makes some sense.

HKT48
I’ve been investing a lot into HKT48, I’ve been watching their variety shows, watching their variety shows, and buying their swag since even before they had an original song. So this list was the hardest for me emotionally, it was like choosing your favorite out of your own children. If I took this ranker several times in a row, I can safely say that it’d probably come out a little different every time. Love-tan definitely ended up ranking high as a she was my favorite from Watarirouka Hashiritai 7, and I’ve been really happy with how she’s grown into her older-sister role in HKT48, and I’m glad that she’s still got what it takes to stick around for awhile longer.

SKE48
This list reflects my relative unfamiliarity with the current members of SKE48. I was a Yagami Kumi, and Hata Sawako fan… so their graduations really hit my SKE48 fandom where it hurts. For a long time I couldn’t even bring my self to reshuffle my favorites here, but eventually Kimoto Kanon came out on top. However I’m always down for some Matsui Rena action, and I still think KII is the best SKE48 team, and Akane Takayanagi is a big part of that.

NMB48
I’m not really that into NMB48, but I like alot of their singles, and they’ve got their own energy. They’re really strong on variety members, so it’s hard for me to learn everyone still. However, I’ve always been a Milky fan, so there ya go. Sayaka was a big jump for me because this last year she just kept impressing me over, and over again.
