4th Place

I’m happy that Yukirin ranked 4th this year.  Top 5 members remain unchanged compared to last year. Every year, every election, there would be many predictions from various people around the entertainment business. Some predictions are more real and some are more personal preference. And in all the serious predictions, Yukirin is always rather low. In 2010 and 2011, most predicted her to be down in the 10-12th range, this year was no different. It always seems to me that they underestimate Yukirin, underestimate Yukirin’s fans and her fanbase. Regardless, I’m happy that every year, those people are proven wrong. I had no doubt that Yukirin can be top 5 this year. Although she dropped a rank to 4th, she gained another 20k votes from last year and that makes me happy. She didn’t quite break that 100k votes mark but it wasn’t too too far off. One reason I started this blog was because of Yukirin’s solo, I wanted a place where you can find stuff about Yukirin, apart from AKB48 forums. I look forward to seeing Yukirin in more solo stuff, her 2nd solo single, her 3rd solo live, etc etc. I am an AKB fan, but above all, I am just a Kashiwagi Yuki fan. To all Yukirin’s fan, thanks for checking out this blog. Let’s continue to be in Yukirin World together! これからも変わらず、ゆきりん推しです！...
