AKB48 Group 37th Single Senbatsu Election To Be Held in June



This year again AKB48 and its sister groups will hold an election to decide senbatsu members. The 37th Single Senbatsu Election will take place on June 7th in Ajinomoto Stadium. Voting tickets will be included in the 36th single which will be relased on May 21st. This 36th single will also include an Oshima Yuko graduation song called [Kyou made no Melody].

Again this time, there will be a candidate system for the election meaning that the eligible members can decide whether they want to participate in the election. Eligible are AKB48, SKE48, NMB48 and HKT48 members but also former AKB48 members who are now members of overseas groups, i.e. Nakagawa Haruka and Chikano Rina. For the election, the new shuffled team system will be used.

A novelty this time is the number of ranks: 80 ranks instead of 64. The ranks 65~80 will be the 'Upcoming Girls'.

The 37th single with the elected members will go on sale sometime in August.
