and akbwrapup.com
Firstly,i would like to start with the matchup in the round one of the tournament

In the round one of the tournament,already some of my oshimen has already appear like
E.g Oshima Yuko and Matsui jurina(where i was in for a surprise)

Anyway here is the line up for block A of the tournament round one

Block A

• Matsui Jurina vs. Muto Tomu

• Kobayashi Kana vs. Shimada Haruka

• Kojima Mako vs. Iwata Karen

For the block A of the tournament round one,i only know one of the member

E.g:Matsui jurina

*Apologises* i am still new to Akb48 afterall....

So,on to the match of Matsui Jurina

Matsui Jurina vs Muto Tomu

Winner:Matsui Jurina

Since i only know Matsui jurina,i was kinda rooting for her,so congratulation on making it to the second round,Jurina!

Block B

• Takeuchi Mai vs. Ishida Haruka

• Okita Ayaka vs. Takajo Aki

Summary:i do not know much of the member for this particular block but i was rooting for Takajo Aki,simply because she is in the sub-group:French Kiss and i like their song,however as 1 Akb member and Nmb member passing this round,thing are really starting to heat up as it is a victory for the sister group

So far....

Akb win:4  Sister Group win:2

Block C

• Mizuno Honoka vs. Nagao Mariya

• Maeda Ami vs. Takahashi Juri

• Miyazaki Miho vs. Kobayashi Marina

Summary:i only know member like Maeda Ami and Miyazaki Miho for block c,even though both of them lost,it seem that 3 member of Akb pass this round,with two team A member passing through round 1,by the way,i have to comment on the costume choice that Maeda Ami choose"venellope"

So far...

Akb win:7  Sister Group win:2

(Gap between akb and the sister group win are starting to get wider....)

Block D

• Tsuchiyasu Mizuki vs. Suzuki Mariya

• Kato Rena vs. Nakata Chisato

Summary:This round for block d seem like a inner fight between the four Akb member,all from the 4 different area,team A,team B,Team k and Akb kks,(at this point i kind of starting to hope to see more sister group member participate...),

Result,according to me

Akb win:9  sister group win:2


(Starting to feel guilty by taking too much photo from akbwrapup.com.....)

Block E

• Ichikawa Miori vs. Kodama Haruka
• Kamieda Emika vs. Tanaka Natsumi
• Izuta Rina vs. Uchida Mayumi

Summary:For this round,i only know member like Ichikawa Miori and Uchida Mayumi,this round seem like a  huge jump for the sister group with two Nmb member passing through this round,lady luck seem to have left Uchida Mayumi this round denying her of her chance to be in senbatsu this Janken tournament

Result

Akb win:10  Sister group:4

Block F

• Miyawaki Sakura vs. Matsui Sakiko
• Sato Sumire vs. Omori Miyu
• Uchiyama Mikoto vs. Miyamae Ami

Summary:For this block round,it seem like there is an equal number from each group advancing to the next round,with one from Hkt,Ske and Akb(all the different member name is just too much for a beginner like me)

Result

Akb win:11 Sister win:6

Block G

• Iriyama Anna vs. Nonaka Misato
• Matsumoto Rina vs. Katayama Haruka
• Yamauchi Suzuran vs. Kobayashi Rikako

Summary:In this block round two member from Akb,team b make it to the next round,along with one member from Ske

Result

Akb win:13  Sister win:7

Block H

• Oshima Yuko vs. Shiroma Miru

• Sato Seira vs. Ichino Narumi

Summary:Yuko seem to not have good luck in Janken Tournament as usual but at least she can have a break from being in Senbatsu for this 34th single(been waiting to comment one of my fav oshi...)anyway,two member from the sister group make it through this round,it seem like there will be a higher chance of seeing the sister group in Akb a side single

Result

Akb win:13 sister win:9

This conclude the end of the first round of the 34th single janken senbatsu tournament,i thought of reviewing the new single"heart electric"today,turn out it was only gonna release at next month 30th,(dissapointed),anyway,from the above round,it seem that only 1 of this year kami7 make it to the next round,stay tune for round 2 of the tournament!

Apologise for some of the picture not shown though,(kind of guilty for taking others credit too much...)

Btw,review of the second round of the tournament is underway,will post it up as soon as it is done.

Akb48 33rd single:"heart electric"review

Firstly,congratulation for the latest single"Heart electric"


In the first place,i think the name is pretty good,it just seem like a good name for a song and it kinda make you feel that "heart electric"is going to be an interesting single.Also,with the title it pretty much state that this single fall under the categories of "love"

Without further ado,here is some detail about the latest single "heart electric"

Release date:2013.10.30(reviewing this quite early,eh?)

Center:kojima haruna(kojiharu)-michelle

 Member lineup:(Takahashi Minami - Linda),(Oshima Yuko - Lucy),(Kashiwagi Yuki - Catherine),(Sashihara Rino - Lola),(Watanabe Mayu - Elizabeth).(Matsui Jurina - Caroline),(Shimazaki Haruka - Angelina),(Matsui Rena - Sandy),(Yokoyama Yui - Melanie),(Yamamoto Sayaka - Rosanda),(Watanabe Miyuki - Josephine),(Minegishi Minami - Barbara),(Ota Aika - Margaret),(Iriyama Anna - Veronica),(Kawaei Rina - Kawae).

Info taken from:http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Heart_Electric

To tell the truth,i was pretty surprise at this 33rd single lineup,even more so then the 32nd senbatsu election when sashihara rino become the center.Talking about the center,this round the center is kojima haruna.Unexpectedly,it was not those usual center like oshima yuko or watanabe mayu,rather it was kojima haruna who has never taken the center position for the a side of akb48.Lately,it seem that it is becoming the trend for choosing member that are about to be graduated to be the center for the single as in the case for itano tomomi(sayonara crawl 31st single),does that mean that kojiharu is about to be graduated?

The next thing that i want to highlight would be the english name for each member,to be honest,i think the member english name were funny and very interesting.Takahashi Minami really seem like she suit the name"Linda","Lucy"seem like a name for a very gentle girl,(Oshima Yuko,seem to be gentle and at time with strong determination,being the leader of team k?).On the other hand,"Elizabeth"seem to be kind of a strong name for Watanabe Mayu,who i think is pretty cute and gentle,so maybe yuko and mayuyu should have their english name switch??haha,anyway i had my doubt about Kashiwagi Yuki called "Catherine"it seem like a good name for her and at the same time not so too.Like Yuko,Sayaka Yamamoto seem like the "strong"type of girl and so"rosanda"is a pretty good fit for her.As for watanabe miyuki,i think that her nickname:"milky"will suit just fine as it is english.As for kawaei rina,her name"kawae"seem like not much thought is not put into it but then with all the english name taken by other member,i got to admit it was pretty hard to come up with another english name.Actually,i am pretty fine with the english name completely replace by their nickname but i suppose they did not want this single to kind of copy team b famous stage song"team b oshi"where team b member nickname were added in the song.

For this single,i am really looking forward to kojima haruma center performance and the part where she shout the member english name in the middle of the song.Also,i am glad that ota aika is in this single lineup as she is one of my oshi and has not appear in the A side single for a long time since everyday katchuusha(21st single).

I gonna do a review on the music video of"heart electric"when it is officially release,until then stay tune to reviewrotation for more of my review.
