On May 21, the preliminary results of “The 6th AKB48 Senbatsu General Election” were revealed at AKB48 Theater in Akihabara, Tokyo.

For the election, 296 girls from AKB48 and its sister groups stand as candidates, and the top 80 girls will be able to participate in AKB48’s 37th single.

To much surprise to everyone, Rino Sashihara takes the 1st place with almost double the amount of votes separating her with the current #2, Watanabe Mayu.

In the past 5 years, Atsuko Maeda came first for the 1st and 3rd elections, Yuko Oshima placed first for the 2nd and 4th elections, and last year, Sashihara ranked number 1.

It will attract the fans’ attention if Sashihara would be able to win the election for the second consecutive time. The voting for the election will end on June 6 at 3:00 pm, and the final results will be revealed at Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo on June 7.
