In case many people do not know the amazing news, just less than a day ago Watanabe Mayu ranked first for the first time in the AKB48 37th Single Senbatsu Sousenkyo with 159,854 votes (defeating 32nd Single Senbatsu Sousenkyo winner and former reigning queen Sashihara Rino who had 141,954 votes). It's a dream that Mayuyu has always wanted since the first Sousenkyo, and now the third generation and Team B ace has finally achieved it. Congratulations Mayuyu!

Other amazing (and hilarious) moments from the Sousenkyo include:

WMatsui (SKE48 Team S / AKB48 Team K's Matsui Jurina and SKE48 Team E / Nogizaka46's Matsui Rena) breaking into the Top 5

NMB48 Team N / AKB48 Team K's Yamamoto Sayaka and AKB48 Team A's Shimazaki Haruka breaking into Kami7.

AKB48 Team A's Kojima Haruna trolling everybody by pretending to announce her graduation (Note: Kojiharu don't you dare do that again)

SKE48 Team E's Suda Akari breaking into the Top 10.

SKE48 Team E's Shibata Aya, HKT48 Team KIV / AKB48 Team A's Miyawaki Sakura, and AKB48 Team A's Kawaei Rina breaking into Senbatsu for the first time.

AKB48 Team K's Yokoyama Yui once again almost having a heart attack and requiring help to get on stage due to overwhelming emotions.

Nogizaka46 / AKB48 Team B's Ikoma Rina being honestly confused ("DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" XD)

SKE48 Team KII's Kinoa Yukiko's first Sousenkyo ranking.

AKB48 Team B's Tanabe Miku thinking that her ranking was a prank.

SKE48 Lifetime Honourary Kenkyuusei Matsumura Kaori, NMB48 Team M's Fujie Reina, and AKB48 Team K's Iwasa Misaki and Nagao Mariya becoming the centres for Undergirls, Next Girls, Future Girls, and Upcoming Girls.
