Keyakizaka46 Center Picks

Keyakizaka46 will always be close to my JPop Music forefront as it was the first group in AKB Groups (46/48) I started listening to and following the members. Having said that there will always be a disagreement on the choice of Center Position (C) the group chose to employ while releasing their Singles! 

Hirate Yurina was outrightly favoured and picked blindly over other members to center in all 8 major singles Keyakizaka46 released (you can ignore 9th & last single) for which some criticized the Seed & Flower Management. 

However, at the end of the day things turned out surprisingly well as all 8 singles topped the Oricon Charts and became a Commercial Success for Sony MUSIC Japan.

Keeping that aside, any of the Keyakizaka46 members could have centered the group in my view and achieved the same level of success given the songs, lyrics, music and choreography was of such high quality.

Here is my pick for Keyakizaka46 Center Position for Singles 1-8:

S#1 Silent Majority

Suzumoto Miyu (C)

S#2 Sekai Ni Wa Ai Shika Nai

Sugai Yuuka (C)

S#3 Futari Saison

Moriya Akane (C)

S#4 Fukyouwoun

Oda Nana (C)

S#5 Kaze ni Fukarete Mo

Kobayashi Yui (C)

S#6 Glass wo Ware

Imaizumi Yui (C)

S#7 Ambivalent

Watanabe Risa (C)

S#8 Kuroi Hitsuji

Hirate Yurina (C)

(Yes, Kuroi Hitsuji means Black Sheep!!)
