Senbatsu

Revision as of 04:50, 5 July 2015 by Windershaker (talk | contribs) (AKB48 Single Senbatsu)

Senbatsu (選抜; literally 'selection') is a term used by AKB48, SKE48, SDN48 and NMB48, as well as by 'rival group' Nogizaka46 to refer to the selected members in singles, events, performances, etc.


Information

The term Senbatsu did not become commonly used until the First Senbatsu Election, which chose the selected members for Iiwake Maybe, but the process of choosing specific members to perform the A-side of single releases has been in practice since Skirt, Hirari.

Senbatsu is almost always chosen by the management, but Iiwake Maybe, Heavy Rotation and Flying Get were chosen by an election, and Chance no Junban and Ue kara Mariko was chosen via a rock-paper-scissors tournament.
