CASUT00 at the Elections

Hey everyone!

Have you checked out the poll on the sidebar yet? Make sure to take a look! -------------------> 
So back to the elections a bit, if you haven't caught up on that yet, make sure to read that post first! (it's the one before this one)

Aside from the ranking changes, there weren't any lineup changes made to SERA00, and there weren't any graduations or promotions either. Considering that at least 2/3 of the things I listed above usually happen at events like this, I would say it's an accomplishment! (or disappointment, considering who's view you're looking at this from)

However, even though CASUT00 didn't participate in the SERA00 General Elections, they were in attendance and performed the title track from their recent EP, "Chocolate Weekend". In fact, they were the ones who experienced a small lineup change, and that was the swapping of members Nikki and Holiday from their teams. I added three lists, including CASUT00, to the List of Members page by the way~ Miss Avery says that this small change cannot be considered a lineup change or a team shuffle, since up until now CASUT00 has been performing as 8, and haven't performed as separate teams yet. The management wanted to even out the teams so that there would be an equal number of singers and dancers on each team. I'll post it below, but if you ever want to access the list again, you guys know the drill...list of members tab.....yeah....

Team Azalea:

JY (leader, Azalea captain, lead dancer, 1995)

Isabelle (dancer, 1996)

Arron (centre, main vocalist, 1997)

Nikki (vocals, 1998)

Team Bluebell:

Rachel (Bluebell captain, lead vocalist, 1995)

Ava (vocals, 1997)

Holiday (dancer, 1997)

Madison (main dancer, 1996)

CASU-J:

Konomi (leader, main dancer, 1993)

Sachi (main vocalist, 1994)

Haruka (main rapper, 1993)

Yuka (lead vocalist, 1995)

And that about sums up today's post. I have a TON of homework to do (any ideas for a creative assignment on Lispector? :P) so I'll catch you guys later <3

2014 4th General Elections RESULTS! + 29th single

Hey everyone!

So here are the results for the 4th General Election that happened on the first of November! I would just like to tell you guys about a couple new website updates first. All the SERA00 member information is updated, and I added some new information for you guys too. If you click on the "List of Members" page, instead of the long list, you will see three links. All of them lead to equally or even longer lists. :) You can now view all the members listed by rank, ranking, and also access new information listed on their profiles. There's a description for each list on the page. The members by team page still stands alone.

Okay! The ranking turnout for this year's election is already listed in one of the new lists I mentioned above, but I'll put it here anyways:

A rank
1.    Sakiko Mihashi

67.  Calla Brandt (00 rank)
68.  Silver Vion (00 rank)
69.  Eliza Moir (00 rank)
70.  Lorena Castagna (00 rank)

As you can see, Sassan has reclaimed her throne, reaffirming her position as Centre of SERA00! Unfortunately, Luna had to settle for second place. I mentioned before that this election went back to the "usual" A, B, and C rank ratio - 16 A ranks, 16 B ranks, and everyone else excluding 00 ranks are C ranks.

The media members are definitely experiencing a change! While last year's Fab 4 still retain the top 4 places, there are a couple of upsets in the latter half. Maya has inched up a couple of places, and Kotoka has risen enough to just edge herself into the media members!

Who are some members whose rank rose significantly? Yumichan rose 15 places, Rome, Echo, Raine, and Macey rose 17 places, Mikayla rose 21 places, Tomiko rose 22 places, and Sammi rose 24 places, but I cinch the trophy - rising 25 places!

I honestly don't even know what to say. Anyone who attended the elections or watched the live broadcast (or read the news) will know that I cried my heart out when I placed 9th. I really think it's because I received such a wonderful opportunity to update SERA00's blog. It's almost been two years now and I know my name became more known in SERA00 ever since I started blogging. I thank all the fans who voted for me and everyone. I literally could not have attained this success without you all. I love my fans so much <3 I could go on and on (did you see what I did there? :P) but this post is not reserved for my personal thanks. But thank you, seriously!!

Okay! Continuing, who is new to the A ranks (as in, they were not an A rank from last year's election)? The answer is...Kotoka, Evie, Yumichan, Wyoming, Brindle, and Alyss. 

Most of the 00 ranks placed at the bottom, but that's okay! They're still trainees and their popularity will increase as their skills, experience, and exposure increase. The top 5 highest ranking 00 ranks in order are Tang Tang, who is the ace of the seventh generation, Soracchi, Emma, Yura, and Kailee. Actually, the ace of the sixth generation, Sammi, has experienced a good level of success as well, propelling herself to the B rank. Despite being the ace, she has not yet managed to emulate the success of her fellow sixth gen, Yumichan.

Yumichan's success is amazing, and I respect her for it. This is only her second election, and she's already an A rank in 12th place! The only one who has risen faster than her is Harley, who was FIFTH in her second election. HOW? I've managed to attain 9th place and A rank status this year, but it's my fourth election. (nevertheless, I am extremely grateful)

Are you still with me? (*applause*) The 29th single! Featuring a main cast of the newly elected A ranks, the SERA00's 29th single, titled "Land of Dreams", will be released on December 1st! Please wait for it!

Regardless of our ranking, we will all continue to work extremely hard for our fans! For a lot of us, just being in SERA00 and knowing that we have the power to brighten someone's day is enough. Please continue to support SERA00 and we will always strive to do better and better!

Vote for Social Media! + EVIE photocard :O

Hey everyone!

I'm just in the process of finalizing the 2014 General Elections post, and then it'll go online for you guys! In the meantime, I created a little poll on the sidebar that looks like this:

So vote! If any of the options reach 100 votes, I'll create an account on that platform! It'll be more of a personal, Evie-orientated account so that we can get to know each other more ^_^ It'll be there for (according to the numbers now) another 377 days... If you have any suggestions put them in the comments below, and remember that you can always email me! I'm really happy to converse with my fans~ visit the MORE page for more info!!

AND NOW...

The most long awaited request...a photo of Evie? Me? What?

(*whisperwhisper* look at what I added in the sidebar)

Hey everyone!

Omg. I have a chem test next week. And a math test. And a French interactive oral. Why did I do this to myself -_-

But more importantly (at least for the time being), is the 2014 GENERAL ELECTIONS!!

TOMORROW! (technically today, since it's past 12?)
:O

Well. Guess who'll be trying and failing to sleep tonight.
This is your last chance to cast your votes! Voting ends at 1AM on November 1st! Less than one hour to go before the fates of more than 60 girls are sealed ;)

Apink's Eunji + more on elections and new YS group

Hey everyone!

Have you bought a copy of our new release yet? Be sure to vote before the election arrives on November 1st!

I made a mistake last time when I was writing about YS Entertainment's new boy band. It's not only a boy band, apparently it will be co-ed? That'll be interesting to see!

On the topic of singers, let me introduce you to one of my biggest inspirations - Jung Eunji of Apink! If you're a fan of Apink or just a casual k-pop lover, you'll be familiar with their cute and innocent songs and image. In fact, they just made their Japanese debut, although they are not new to the j-pop world. (I apologize for the recent surge of kpop related posts, I realize some of you have no idea what I'm blabbering about...all the more reason to get into kpop! XD no I'm just joking - I'll try to have more usual content up soon!)

left to right: Eunji, Bomi, Namjoo, Chorong, Hayoung, Naeun

Eunji is one of the most underrated singers in kpop - her voice is so powerful. I mean, who is capable of singing a song like this live? (although her English is another matter :P)



Anyways I love this group so much, they pull of their sweet image perfectly.

Here's their most recent release, a Japanese version of their hit song No No No.


Please support SERA00 ... and Apink :D

(p.s. look in the sidebar for something Apink related XD)

2014 ELECTION SINGLE - 28th single

Hey everyone!

It's here! SERA00's 28th single will be released on October 17, and it will contain the voting tickets for our SERA00 4th General Election, which will take place on the first of November! Omg just typing about it is already making me nervous... Anyways, the line-up of the 28th single, named "On and On", features Luna, who is currently ranked first place in SERA00, in the centre. The rest of the main cast is comprised with girls who ranked high last year, so unfortunately I won't be participating in this single.

So make sure you get a copy of On and On when it's released on Friday and vote before the 2 week voting period is over!

This year we will go back to the original rank formations and have 16 A ranks (since the size of the main cast is usually 16), 16 B ranks, and the rest will be C ranks. As usual, the trainees remain as 00 ranks despite their ranking turnout.
