Watch the most popular AKB, NMB & STU virtual handshakes

[abra]

Inspired by a tweet, I decided to list the most popular (liked/RT'd/commented) videos from AKB48's, NMB48's and STU48's recent handshake videos.
The videos are meant for fans who aren't able to meet the idols now that Japan is in a state of emergency, and can help you get a feeling of what it's like to attend a handshake event (minus all the queueing). And it could also work as an introduction to the most popular members in each group.

Notes:
- Okada Nana ranks first overall, not surprisingly as she is a top 3 AKB member + the leader of STU
- Nagisa unexpectedly gets first place in a handshake-related ranking
- Some videos were posted earlier than others which could affect the results, you can check the time stamps
- SKE and HKT handshake videos will be up in the coming days
- Check out NMB48's latest single Datte Datte Datte on Youtube

of course nana would be the most popular, and saepii likes already surpassed cocona's

Saeppi was already ahead in likes when I posted but about 200 RTs after so I put Cocona ahead. But Akarin, Miru, Nagisa and Saeppi are way ahead in views compared to Umeyamamoto, which is expected since they are much better known.

But I'm a bit surprised by Yukirin and Yuiri's numbers, I thought they'd be higher.
