2015 AKB Janken Tournmant date announced 

Okay. Here is some regular news, by request (^_^). The date for the next Janken Tournmanet has been announced.

There is not really much more to say about this. It was announced on a large film screen during a handshaking event. The date is Wednesday, September 16th, 2015 and will take place at Yokohama Arena. The preliminary election takes place on August 6th, and is open to all 48-group members.

It’s same every year, I think? I hope it’s interesting winner. But I mostly just watch because of costumes.

I hope hiwatashi yui wins this one or any of those new faces in the group like immamura maria
