AKB48 has many regular TV shows, often with a changing cast of members.  Out of AKB’s shows, who shows up the most?  A 2ch user compiles the number of TV shows appearances for each member, and shares the results!

This ranking is limited to members of AKB48, so it doesn’t include members of sister groups.  It also only includes the following shows: Kyouwakoku, AKBingo, Tabi shojo, AKB Shirabe, Bokura ga kangaeru yoru, ANN, and Listen. It covers the first half of 2015 up to June 28th, 2015.

Some things to note: Kojiharu has a regular spot of Kyowakoku, so she naturally appears higher. All other member seem to have just guest appearances. There’s also a lot of other members who have less than 10 appearances, and even those that have 0 appearances! For example, Takamina appears only 5 times, and Shimazaki Haruka had 9 appearances.

Thus it seems that the number of appearances on TV shows doesn’t correlate too much to popularity or sousenkyo rankings. Nakanishi appears the most but has been unranked in every election for instance.
