Tsugunaga Finals

Chisato Okai
Age: 13
Member Since: 2002
Beat: 15. Erina Aoki, 10. Yui Okada

vs.

Yuu Kikkawa
Age: 15
Member Since: 2007
Beat: 6. Yuko Nakazawa, 3. Reina Tanaka

Activity: Chisato Okai. Milky Way was some nice exposure for Kikkawa, but Chisato in C-ute is so much better.

Looks: Yuu Kikkawa. Yuu is still in the fresh face mode to me.

Charisma: Chisato Okai. I shouldn’t bring this into play but Yuu Kikkawa on Oha Star is pretty disappointing. I’m sure Chisato would take her out in a knife fight.

WINNER - Chisato Okai 2-1. Chisato has had a pretty easy schedule so far - at least in terms of ranking. Yuu Kikkawa made an effort after some upsets, but I still prefer Chisato.

Mai Satoda
Age: 23
Member Since: 2002
Beat: 13. Yuki Maeda, 5. Nozomi Tsuji

vs.

Atsuko Maeda
Age: 16
Association: AKB48
Beat: 9. Mari Yaguchi, 1. Momoko Tsugunaga

Activity: Mai Satoda. I can’t even pretend like I pay attention to AKB48 more than Ongaku Gatas.

Looks: Atsuko Maeda.

Charisma: Atsuko Maeda. I can’t explain why Atsuko Maeda grabs my attention out of AKB48, I really can’t. She just DOES.

WINNER - Atsuko Maeda 2-1. Atsuko done did it again. How is it possible that a non-H!P member is on the verge of making it to the Final Four?

Chisato Okai
Age: 13
Member Since: 2002
Beat: 15. Erina Aoki, 10. Yui Okada, 11 . Yuu Kikkawa

vs.

Atsuko Maeda
Age: 16
Association: AKB48
Beat: 9. Mari Yaguchi, 1. Momoko Tsugunaga, 4. Mai Satoda

Activity: Chisato Okai. C-ute triumphs over AKB48, no surprises here.

Looks: Atsuko Maeda. Chisato isn’t going to come close in this category.

Charisma: Chisato Okai. Something finally beats the Atsuko charm! I find it very entertaining thinking of Chisato making other idols cry and winning knife fights.

WINNER - Chisato Okai 2-1. Finally, the mystery idols are gone. Chisato Okai wins the Tsugunaga Region, admitedly the weakest of the 4 regions. I mean, Chisato only beat one single digit seed, and it wasn’t even a H!P member. The TLS Selection Committee will need to due a better job of seeding next year.

The finals of the TLS March April Madness are now set.

Hitomi Yoshizawa vs. Maimi Yajima.
Arisa Noto vs. Chisato Okai.

The Nocchi vs Chisato matchup really is coming out of nowhere. That’s what happens with seeding though. Hitomi vs Maimi may very well be the real finals. I guess I need to this by tonight or else we will be venturing into May Madness, and that’d just be ridiculous.
