H-How…? How did this sorting even happen?! How did they end up standing together like that?! You guys know these things aren’t random, right? Especially on important shows like MS! Like, how?! First of all the only way Sakura would be on the front line is by the newest single sorting which means she would be next to Mayuyu who is next to Souchan and then they would be followed by the AkiP senbatsu a la Jurina, Paruru and Sashiko. So even Yukirin being in that spot by itself is a miracle! We all know if she had a choice she would have taken the last row but there she was! RIGHT NEXT TO SAKURA! Both in front of PaJuri! Like, Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?!

I’m sorry but my mind is still trying to process this! it might seem like such a trivial thing to others but believe me, it is not! And yet while I am trying to figure that out, I am also trying to not keel over at how completely awkward Sakura looks next to Yukirin! She is okay with standing at the front of the whole group with Mayuyu but not standing next to Yukirin! Nope, that is a whole other different thing! Seriously, you all have to re-watch that AKB segment and watch Sakura! If you do you will notice how often she kept stealing glances in Yukirin’s direction even as they stood that close to each other. I have evidence…

 

Like, what even Sakura! You even look guilty doing it too! I guess she too knows how rare a moment like this is so she is thinking of using it to her utmost advantage! Who knows how long it will be until she get to be able to look at Yukirin so closely again? BTW, those gifs are slowed down so imagine how quick those glances were! Heh, I am onto you Sakura-tan! And don’t get me started on those looks she sometimes gave Yukirin…

Sakura pls…

I had a huge grin on my face all through this talk! How could these two just standing next to each other bring out so much emption within me?! It’s madness! Well, at least Sakura is suffering with me too! But if this was not planned, then it also makes it all that much more awesome because it would mean that Sakura chose to stand to Yukirin herself, which of course is a mind boggling thought! The first thing to go to her mind of this were a free standing would have been to be next to Mayuyu (the other centre) or next to Sashiko (member she is more connected to). I think we can all agree that she would have chosen to stay as far away from Yukirin if possible but that is before the current progression! Lately things have been happening that just makes me wanna pull all my hair out!

So, if we think that it was Sakura’s choice to be next to Yukirin, things get even more awesome! This might kind of explain that scene…

What’s the matter Rena? You are with Nogizaka now, so what’s that that has gotten your attention in AKB? First thought tells me it’s Yukirin since she is active about something but the next thought tells you are more interested in who is standing next to her, which would have been your position had you been there. So then, did Sakura take this opportunity in Rena’s absence to strike? Because if Rena was there, we know she would have been the one next to Yukirin. I have a feeling that if she was, and was in the back line, somehow Yukirin would have been in the back line with her right next to her too!

Oh, OH!

Okay, better stop before  I get lost in all this speculation! But before I disappear, what is an AKB performance without…

 

MAYUKI
