The general election was announced.
I'm going to participate.
Last year, the preliminary results included, whenever one of my douki ranked in, I felt happy for them, but it was just frustrating that I couldn't catch up with them.
Because it was even more important to me than it was the two times before that.
But right at the time when I couldn't enter the preliminary ranking, I also had my injury and couldn't participate in performances, and then during the final announcement, I couldn't rank in either.
I was really starting to think I shouldn't be around here anymore.
The injury totally seemed like a sign too.
But from that negative point on, I put up with it, accepted my resting period, and in this one year there was
the tempura bowl shop,
the mental agony chao fan,
Kareha no Station,
Yuudachi no Mae ranking first,
me ranking 7th in the CM senbatsu,
a front row position in the team song,
and the fact that my injury's healing.
And lately Iโve been getting more jobs too.
Little by little I'm feeling like even my past frustrations are starting to be overwritten by happy memories.
That's not thanks to my own strength but to my fans' support.
If it wasn't for my fans' strength, I wouldn't have been able to feel that happiness.
I'm sorry I always rely on you, but I care so much about ranking in, I just had to write this today.
I don't want this current flow to stop.
Well then, nice dreamsโช
(*ยดโฝ๏ฝ)ใ About the General Election

Yesterday I wrote about my intentions regarding this year's general election, but because there were some people in the Google+ comments asking me what I would want to do after I rank in, I want to write about that today.
I was an 48Group fan before I joined SKE.
I liked SKE too, but I had members I was cheering on in all groups, and I recorded the general election broadcast, voted for the members I liked, and of course I bought the CDs too.
Shedding tears about all the things happening during each year's election and having my feelings stirred was how I grew up.
ใAKB48 Senbatsu Sousenkyoใ
I want to leave my name in that history, if only once, as proof I was part of the 48Group too.
I know that the process is what's important, but I want to leave a visible result behind.
Something anyone can see.
And to be honest, I have no idea about the things after ranking in, even if I think about it.
But I don't know what to do if I don't rank in either. ็ฌ
Can I enter SKE's senbatsu if I rank in?
There's no guarantee.
But it might become more likely.
If I rank in, I might become more known than I am now.
Nothing of that is definite.
If I think about it, it's all just "might".
But there's one thing I have the confidence to say "this is absolute" about.
If I rank in, I can share my joy with all my fans, I can smile with everyone, I can shed tears of joy with everyone.
There will remain a happy memory in my heart and in my fans'.
From the feelings of frustration I've been sharing until now, I want to go over to tasting feelings of happiness and joy with everyone.
Even just a single time would mean a lot.
More than all those frustrating times.
The general election is a big event, and I think the happiness would be accordingly big too.
That's why I want to rank in.
The general election and my participation in a song of that single, I want to create a happy memory of that with my fans.
And then I want to contribute to SKE.
This isn't an SKE single.
I understand that, but that's not it.
Last year, SKE members made up the biggest part of the 80 rankers.
I want to be one of those people too this year.
Or rather, I want to rank in as one more additional SKE member.
With that I want to show that SKE's still cutting it.
That might be my ex-fan perspective playing into my feelings...็ฌ
I talked about it like this now, but when I think about "if I rank in", what ends up crossing my mind is "but what if I don't" and I get really worried.
These are my feelings.
They aren't nicely arranged, but will I still get an answer?
Well then, nice dreamsโช
