That preview doesn't say much. We already knew elections were happening from last episode. And the video just shows a lot of people seems to be bothered by it...
On a side note, I really liked this pic of Nagisa and Chieri.

-------------- BTW, seems that around today it was announced that Yagami will be among the 9 members of SKE48 to graduate anytime within this first quarter, which means, if Satelite goes ahead with further sequels or any spinoffs, either they'll have to make up an excuse (but not an excuse that could anger fans) or keep her signed on -- out of her group -- to continue as Sonata. Personally... OTL.

Tsubasa should be very aware of who is Chieri's father. Considering Chieri is the one getting the push, she may even suspect Zodiac already. I believe the main problem for her is discovering the reason. She probably have no idea of the research Zodiac is doing and what they and the D.G.T.O. could gain with it.

IRL, the members are voted for top positions by means of ballots that goes with the singles, and the practice of bulk-buying multiple singles (regarded as very wasteful by critics) is even acknowledged by the management.
If Zodiac is covertly trying to position Chieri by this method through proxies and cutouts, then yes, it surely trips a wire and Tsubasa sees it as highly suspicious. I could also read Chieri's unease because of it, I mean, for a trainee to make it to the 9th position would be a huge upset (IRL, in last year's elections, the highest a trainee ever got to rank was 34th).

And I actually do like fanservice, as long as the story doesn't suffer because it. Which never happened in any episode of AKB0048 so far, imo.

I mean, the anime goes out their way to show that the fans like Chieri a lot. See how they react to her every time she appears. Being ranked is consistent with this so I don't think Zodiac would need to buy votes. Besides, that would indeed be suspicious as hell.

The only plus side is that since Chieri's father seems to want her to become more in sync with her kirara and glow brighter so he can study it and her, using underhanded means to make her win the election will probably not get him what he wants.

And each member's is a little different! So say if there have been five different sets of outfits for the girls, with nine main characters, we're talking more like forty-five individual outfits....and that doesn't include the 75TH GENERATION'S OUTFITS.... That's amazing!! How do the artists come up with THAT many outfits!? I wish I could look at them all at once!!

This was based on a Music ON! TV CM. More Sonata fanart, just to mark Kumi Yagami's impending departure.

So, yeah... it's even worse than you think. Yeah, he definetly knows at this point that there are no shortcuts to the kirara power, but I really doubt that will make a difference to anyone else, including Chieri. |
