AKB48 7th Overall Election Forecast Ranking: Takahashi Minami Ranked First

The official brochure "AKB48 Final Election 2015" (ticket sales began on June 6, held at the Fukuoka Dome) went on sale on May 13, and the editorial board predicted the top 16 of the AKB48 final election based on the information obtained.

Since last year, the editorial board of the official guidebook has been making predictions about the outcome of the general election, which is quite topical. Predicted to be the first in this year's ranking is the central AKB48 chief supervisor , Takahashi Minami, on the cover photo of the guide book. Both the "first-place declaration" she released at her solo concert in April this year and the solidarity of AKB48 Rice, who regretted her graduation in December this year, have become her strong support. Therefore, the editorial department also predicts that in the final general election, she may be able to draw a perfect end to her AKB career.

Not only that, Takahashi's ally Yoshinori Koshima did not participate in the general election this time, but when participating in an event in late April this year, he said: "I really still hope that Takahashi Minami can win the championship this time." Her support has also become a strong support for Takahashi. When the cover image centered on Takahashi was revealed on May 10, the official guide to the general election climbed all the way up the pre-sale list of online bookstores, and as a result, the first edition was printed with 100,000 copies. It is foreseeable that Takahashi, as the biggest contributor to the team, will receive many votes full of gratitude.

Predicted to be second place was Mayu Watanabe, who won first last year, Third place was Rina Iehara, who won first place the previous year, and NMB48's Yamamoto Sai, who achieved amazing results in handshake meetings and photo albums, was predicted to be fourth, along with the past queens. The forecast ranks sixteenth, including general election regulars and newcomers worth looking forward to in the future.

The guidebook includes the "real reasons" for Takahashi's declaration to win the championship, and is an 80-page special collection of candidates, featuring special shots and interviews with the 100 notable members selected for the book. The book also features a list of 272 candidates for the general election, a "General Election Poster", and a "Hakata Guide" by HKT48 members who introduce Fukuoka's specialty shops and tourist offices.
