The jury is back, and the verdict is… somewhat unexpected. At least if the poll I posted last week served as some kind of indicator who might be the most popular of the 13 School kakumei auditionees.
Here’s the result of my poll (a total of 176 votes):
- Kazuki
- Soushi
- Shouta
- Tatsuya
- Hisashi
- Chikara Samson Jr.
- Kai
- Kei, Mario, Kaede (tie)
- Junpei
- Toshinobu
- Yuugo
It looks like the Japanese fans have a very different taste. Here are the results of the phone vote. No exact results are given, we just get to see the final four (in no particular order, I assume).
Wow. 
Yay for Yuugo, who came out of my poll with zero votes. I guess the Japanese fans are more into the sporty guys, both Yuugo and Hisashi (the basketball kid) made it to the final four. Shouta is the only one who seems to be equally popular at home and abroad, and Chikara Samson Jr.’s appeal with the Japanese may be his exotic name and looks. So there.
I set up a new poll for the final four over on the comments page, please cast your vote if you like. We haven’t seen anything new today, so for now it’s about physical appeal for the most part, but I guess that’s gonna change in the next couple of weeks.
