looking at her now, she didn’t deserve all the hate she got during the peak of AKB. she was too kind and pure to carry the burden of the group along with the og soukantoku Takamina. no matter what ppl say, she will always be the face of AKB. i’m glad she’s doing great with her acting career now!

The hate came because many fans found NO REASON for a standard girl to become center, it came also from Yuko fans since Yuko worked very hard and became the best. "Why this girl and not the best?", a common question which caused 3 fan wars in the history of the group, there's always the chosen one against the best, Acchan and Yuko, Sasshi and Mayu, Sakura and Jurina.

well the hate came because acchan wasn't the type of person that you would think would be in the center position. she's not extroverted like yuko. she doesn't have the dancing skills like hirate yurina. she doesn't have the natural charisma of say a goto maki from morning musume. plus when you look at their early performances (2006-2008) you kinda feel that the other senbatsu members did what they could to help acchan be at ease at the center position, compared to later when acchan was able to highlight everyone's unique qualities while still commanding the spotlight at the center position. but i think losing to yuko in the 2nd General Election helped boost her confidence because yuko was able to shoulder some of her burden in becoming the face of the 48 Group. plus her speech after winning the highly publicized 3rd General Election helped quell some of the hate she got for being the center over their favorite members.

@@DemonPE i agree with acchan vs yuko cuz it seemed that no matter what yuko did, aki-p was always gonna put acchan at center. i also agree with sakura and jurina because management was more inclined to feature sakura over jurina despite jurina being the more tenured member, and ranked higher than her in the General Election. with sasshi and mayu, it's more about their idol philosophies. mayu represented their traditional idol image: cute, innocent, did nothing to tarnish her image, obeyed the rules. sasshi represented the new idol image because she wasn't afraid to speak out against some of the rules that idols had to adhere to. but other than their rivalry in the General Election, neither mayu and sasshi dominated the center position after acchan and yuko left. paruru got here share of singles. jurina and sakura got some here and there. mayu got her share of singles. i think the only time sasshi was the center was when she won the General Election.
