'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A. Failing the first generation audition, she didn't give up her dreams and worked as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater. Through customer's feedback and Akimoto's challenge, she was able to join the group and is only person to be referred as generation 1.5.<br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />
===KING RECORDS===<br />
On October 2008, the group signed with [[KING RECORDS]] under the You, Be Cool! sublabel, and released their 10th single titled [[Oogoe Diamond]] featuring [[Matsui Jurina]] of the just newly formed [[SKE48]] on the CD cover. In that same month, at the final performance of A4 Revival, original members [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Nakanishi Rina]] and [[Narita Risa]] announced their graduation simultaneously. Their graduation took place at AKB48's NHK Shuffle Concert on November 23, 2008. <br />
<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]]. At the end of the concert a new formation of AKB48 was announced, shuffling members from all teams. Each team was also assigned a captain; [[Takahashi Minami]] was to lead Team A, [[Akimoto Sayaka]] was to lead Team K, and [[Kashiwagi Yuki]] would become the leader of Team B. 4 of the group's oldest members, [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Urano Kazumi]], and [[Sato Yukari]] were transferred into the newly announced mature group named [[SDN48]] (Saturday Night 48).<br />

===Baragumi and Yurigumi===<br />
<br />
On November 4th, 2006, it was announced that the members of Akihabara48 would be rearranged into two groups: Baragumi ('rose group') and Yurigumi ('lily group'). No more official announcements have been made on this matter since then, and it is widely believed that this idea has been scrapped.<br />
<br />
However when the single [[Kaze wa Fuiteiru]] was released, the idea of Baragumi and Yurigumi was resurrected as part of the [[Under Girls]] B-side groups.<br />
<br />
The two groups are as follows (☆ denotes a girl who has changed teams or graduated since the announcement was made):<br />
<br />

'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A. Failing the first generation audition, she didn't give up her dreams and worked as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater. Through customer's feedback and Akimoto's challenge, she was able to join the group and is only person to be referred as generation 1.5.<br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />
===KING RECORDS===<br />
On October 2008, the group signed with [[KING RECORDS]] under the You, Be Cool! sublabel, and released their 10th single titled [[Oogoe Diamond]] featuring [[Matsui Jurina]] of the just newly formed [[SKE48]] on the CD cover. In that same month, at the final performance of A4 Revival, original members [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Nakanishi Rina]] and [[Narita Risa]] announced their graduation simultaneously. Their graduation took place at AKB48's NHK Shuffle Concert on November 23, 2008. <br />
<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]].

Producer [[Akimoto Yasushi]] stated that she will be “the heroine of the new age”. Eguchi was immediately met with skepticism from many fans and soon Team K member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] leaked on her blog that Eguchi was made of parts of other members through photoshop. On June 20th, Weekly Playboy published an article about Eguchi, stating that she was made up of parts of [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Watanabe Mayu]], [[Shinoda Mariko]], [[Itano Tomomi]], [[Oshima Yuko]] and 12th generation Kenkyuusei Sasaki Yukari.<br />

===Baragumi and Yurigumi===<br />
<br />
On November 4th, 2006, it was announced that the members of Akihabara48 would be rearranged into two groups: Baragumi ('rose group') and Yurigumi ('lily group'). No more official announcements have been made on this matter since then, and it is widely believed that this idea has been scrapped.<br />
<br />
However when the single [[Kaze wa Fuiteiru]] was released, the idea of Baragumi and Yurigumi was resurrected as part of the [[Under Girls]] B-side groups.<br />
<br />
The two groups are as follows (☆ denotes a girl who has changed teams or graduated since the announcement was made):<br />

'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A. Failing the first generation audition, she didn't give up her dreams and worked as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater. Through customer's feedback and Akimoto's challenge, she was able to join the group and is only person to be referred as generation 1.5.<br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />
===KING RECORDS===<br />
On October 2008, the group signed with [[KING RECORDS]] under the You, Be Cool! sublabel, and released their 10th single titled [[Oogoe Diamond]] featuring [[Matsui Jurina]] of the just newly formed [[SKE48]] on the CD cover. In that same month, at the final performance of A4 Revival, original members [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Nakanishi Rina]] and [[Narita Risa]] announced their graduation simultaneously. Their graduation took place at AKB48's NHK Shuffle Concert on November 23, 2008. <br />
<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]]. At the end of the concert a new formation of AKB48 was announced, shuffling members from all teams. Each team was also assigned a captain; [[Takahashi Minami]] was to lead Team A, [[Akimoto Sayaka]] was to lead Team K, and [[Kashiwagi Yuki]] would become the leader of Team B. 4 of the group's oldest members, [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Urano Kazumi]], and [[Sato Yukari]] were transferred into the newly announced mature group named [[SDN48]] (Saturday Night 48).<br />
<br />
In October 21, 2009, AKB48 released the single [[RIVER]] which became the first AKB48 single to reach #1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart. It became the second best selling female single of 2009. <br />

<br />
On December 8, 2010, AKB48 celebrated its 5th anniversary in the theater with a special performance by all members, as well as returning graduates. All 9th generation kenkyuusei were also promoted.<br />
<br />
In March 2011, it was announced on their blog they have temporarily closed the AKB Theater due to the [[Wikipedia:2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami|2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami]]. Many upcoming activities were also postponed, including their concerts at [[Yokohama Arena]] from March 25th to the 27th, and the release of their first studio album, ''[[Koko ni Ita Koto (album)|Koko ni Ita Koto]]''.<br />
<br />
On June 6, 2011, AKB48 made public announcement during this evening’s Himawari H1 Revival Stage the formation of a brand new AKB48 team, bluntly titled [[Team 4]]. The Team will consists of the 10 previously promoted kenkyuusei.<br />

Producer [[Akimoto Yasushi]] stated that she will be “the heroine of the new age”. Eguchi was immediately met with skepticism from many fans and soon Team K member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] leaked on her blog that Eguchi was made of parts of other members through photoshop. On June 20th, Weekly Playboy published an article about Eguchi, stating that she was made up of parts of [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Watanabe Mayu]], [[Shinoda Mariko]], [[Itano Tomomi]], [[Oshima Yuko]] and 12th generation Kenkyuusei Sasaki Yukari.<br />
<br />
On July 3rd, AKB48 announced and confirmed that they will be having their ‘24th Single Senbatsu Janken (Rock, Paper, Scissors) Tournament‘ in September.

===Baragumi and Yurigumi===<br />
<br />
On November 4th, 2006, it was announced that the members of Akihabara48 would be rearranged into two groups: Baragumi ('rose group') and Yurigumi ('lily group'). No more official announcements have been made on this matter since then, and it is widely believed that this idea has been scrapped.<br />
<br />
However when the single [[Kaze wa Fuiteiru]] was released, the idea of Baragumi and Yurigumi was resurrected as part of the [[Under Girls]] B-side groups.<br />
<br />
The two groups are as follows (☆ denotes a girl who has changed teams or graduated since the announcement was made):<br />
<br />

'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A. Failing the first generation audition, she didn't give up her dreams and worked as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater. Through customer's feedback and Akimoto's challenge, she was able to join the group and is only person to be referred as generation 1.5.<br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />
===KING RECORDS===<br />
On October 2008, the group signed with [[KING RECORDS]] under the You, Be Cool! sublabel, and released their 10th single titled [[Oogoe Diamond]] featuring [[Matsui Jurina]] of the just newly formed [[SKE48]] on the CD cover. In that same month, at the final performance of A4 Revival, original members [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Nakanishi Rina]] and [[Narita Risa]] announced their graduation simultaneously. Their graduation took place at AKB48's NHK Shuffle Concert on November 23, 2008. <br />
<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]]. At the end of the concert a new formation of AKB48 was announced, shuffling members from all teams. Each team was also assigned a captain; [[Takahashi Minami]] was to lead Team A, [[Akimoto Sayaka]] was to lead Team K, and [[Kashiwagi Yuki]] would become the leader of Team B. 4 of the group's oldest members, [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Urano Kazumi]], and [[Sato Yukari]] were transferred into the newly announced mature group named [[SDN48]] (Saturday Night 48).<br />

===Baragumi and Yurigumi===<br />
<br />
On November 4th, 2006, it was announced that the members of Akihabara48 would be rearranged into two groups: Baragumi ('rose group') and Yurigumi ('lily group'). No more official announcements have been made on this matter since then, and it is widely believed that this idea has been scrapped.<br />
<br />
However when the single [[Kaze wa Fuiteiru]] was released, the idea of Baragumi and Yurigumi was resurrected as part of the [[Under Girls]] B-side groups.<br />
<br />
The two groups are as follows (☆ denotes a girl who has changed teams or graduated since the announcement was made):<br />
<br />

* [[Watanabe Miyuki]]<br />
<br />
* Kikuchi Ayaka was fired from AKB48 following a scandal, but was allowed to re-audition for AKB48 Kenkyuusei<br />
<br />
==Information==<br />
AKB48 held its third audition in 2006, and the 3rd generation of members who were meant to be Team B made their first appearance in the theater on December 8, 2006. Around the same time, it was announced that [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Hirajima Natsumi]], [[Masuyama Kayano]] and [[Watanabe Shiho]] would be transferred to Team B to act as a teacher figure for the new members. After [[Orii Ayumi]]'s graduation, however, Masuyama Kayano remained in Team A. <br />
<br />
Team B debuted on April 8, 2008, and performed two revival stages throughout 2007. After Team B's first stage, Watanabe Shiho graduated from AKB48 and was replaced by [[Saeki Mika]], the first kenkyuusei to be promoted to a team. In February, 2008, they began performing their first original stage. In August, 2008, [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired due to a scandal.<br />
<br />
In August 2009, Saeki Mika graduated and the announcement was made that the teams would be shuffled. [[Kitahara Rie]], [[Sato Amina]] and [[Miyazaki Miho]] were transferred from [[Team A]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Chikano Rina]] and [[Masuda Yuka]] were transferred from [[Team K]], and [[Ishida Haruka]], [[Komori Mika]], [[Sato Sumire]] and Suzuki Shihori were promoted from Kenkyuusei. Suzuki Shihori withdrew from AKB48 shortly after the announcement (but rejoined later as a 11th generation Kenkyuusei), and [[Suzuki Mariya]] was promoted to Team B instead of Team A. Suzuki Shihori was then promoted back to Team B to replace Oku Manami following her graduation.<br />
<br />
In January 2012, Hirajima Natsumi (and Yonezawa Rumi) was caught in a scandal and withdrew. Then in March 2012, during AKB48's concert in Saitama Super Arena, it was announced that [[Watanabe Miyuki]] of NMB48 would be joining Team B temporarily, as well as continuing her activities with Team N.<br />

==Information==<br />
In December 2005, an audition was held for the second generation of AKB48, Team K. 18 girls were chosen and in April 2006 they started preforming at the AKB48 theater. Their first stage, PARTY ga Hajimaru yo, was recycled from Team A. On June 17th 2006, [[Uemura Ayako]] graduated, making her the first Team K member to graduate AKB48.<br />
<br />
In August 2009, it was announced that the AKB48 teams would be shuffled in October 2009. The 'new' Team K that was announced included [[Itano Tomomi]], [[Fujie Reina]] and [[Minegishi Minami]] from [[Team A]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakatsuka Tomomi]], [[Nito Moeno]] and [[Yonezawa Rumi]] from [[Team B]], as well as the promotion from [[AKB48 Kenkyuusei]] of [[Uchida Mayumi]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Nonaka Misato]] and [[Matsui Sakiko]].<br />
<br />
In June 2010, [[Ono Erena]] announced that she would be graduating from AKB48 to focus on her acting at the end of the summer, and shortly after her graduation in September 2010, [[Yokoyama Yui]] was promoted to Team K.<br />
<br />
In January 2012, Yonezawa Rumi (and Hirajima Natsumi) was caught in a scandal and withdrew. Then in March 2012, at AKB48's concert in Saitama Super Arena, it was announced that SKE48's [[Matsui Jurina]] would be joining Team K temporarily, as well as continuing activities with Team S.<br />

==Information==<br />
In June 2005, [[Akimoto Yasushi]] had his first audition for his "Akihabara 48 Project", a project for a group that featured 48 girls who performed in their own theater. By October, he had picked 24 girls to be the first group of members for what came to be known as AKB48, and on December 8, 2005, 20 girls debuted in the Akihabara 48 Theater. At the end of Team A's first stage, Usami Yuki graduated to pursue a career in gravure.<br />
<br />
In 2007, it was announced that Team A (who had just finished their fourth stage) and [[Team K]] (who had just finished their third) would be performing together as [[Himawari-gumi]], a team of mixed Team A and K members who performed two stages together. At the time, it was unclear whether they would revert back to their original teams after the run.<br />
<br />
In August 2009, it was announced that the teams of AKB48 would be shuffled in October 2009. The 'new' Team A consisted of [[Kuramochi Asuka]] and [[Matsubara Natsumi]] from [[Team K]] and [[Oota Aika]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Sashihara Rino]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]] and [[Nakaya Sayaka]] from [[Team B]], as well as the promotion from [[AKB48 Kenkyuusei]] of [[Iwasa Misaki]], [[Ooya Shizuka]], [[Suzuki Mariya]] and [[Maeda Ami]]. Suzuki Mariya, however, was added to Team B after Suzuki Shihori withdrew. <br />

'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A. Failing the first generation audition, she didn't give up her dreams and worked as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater. Through customer's feedback and Akimoto's challenge, she was able to join the group and is only person to be referred as generation 1.5.<br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />
===KING RECORDS===<br />
On October 2008, the group signed with [[KING RECORDS]] under the You, Be Cool! sublabel, and released their 10th single titled [[Oogoe Diamond]] featuring [[Matsui Jurina]] of the just newly formed [[SKE48]] on the CD cover. In that same month, at the final performance of A4 Revival, original members [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Nakanishi Rina]] and [[Narita Risa]] announced their graduation simultaneously. Their graduation took place at AKB48's NHK Shuffle Concert on November 23, 2008. <br />
<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]]. At the end of the concert a new formation of AKB48 was announced, shuffling members from all teams. Each team was also assigned a captain; [[Takahashi Minami]] was to lead Team A, [[Akimoto Sayaka]] was to lead Team K, and [[Kashiwagi Yuki]] would become the leader of Team B. 4 of the group's oldest members, [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Urano Kazumi]], and [[Sato Yukari]] were transferred into the newly announced mature group named [[SDN48]] (Saturday Night 48).<br />

===Baragumi and Yurigumi===<br />
<br />
On November 4th, 2006, it was announced that the members of Akihabara48 would be rearranged into two groups: Baragumi ('rose group') and Yurigumi ('lily group'). No more official announcements have been made on this matter since then, and it is widely believed that this idea has been scrapped.<br />
<br />
However when the single [[Kaze wa Fuiteiru]] was released, the idea of Baragumi and Yurigumi was resurrected as part of the [[Under Girls]] B-side groups.<br />
<br />
The two groups are as follows (☆ denotes a girl who has changed teams or graduated since the announcement was made):<br />
<br />

<div align="justify"><br />
'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A without passing the second audition. Prior to joining the group, Shinoda was actually working as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater.. She could not attend the first audition for the group because she was working at the cafe. Fans petitioned for Shinoda to be able to join the group. <br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />
===KING RECORDS===<br />
On October 2008, the group signed with [[KING RECORDS]] under the You, Be Cool! sublabel, and released their 10th single titled [[Oogoe Diamond]] featuring [[Matsui Jurina]] of the just newly formed [[SKE48]] on the CD cover. In that same month, at the final performance of A4 Revival, original members [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Nakanishi Rina]] and [[Narita Risa]] announced their graduation simultaneously. Their graduation took place at AKB48's NHK Shuffle Concert on November 23, 2008. <br />
<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]]. At the end of the concert a new formation of AKB48 was announced, shuffling members from all teams. Each team was also assigned a captain; [[Takahashi Minami]] was to lead Team A, [[Akimoto Sayaka]] was to lead Team K, and [[Kashiwagi Yuki]] would become the leader of Team B. 4 of the group's oldest members, [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Urano Kazumi]], and [[Sato Yukari]] were transferred into the newly announced mature group named [[SDN48]] (Saturday Night 48).<br />
<br />
In October 21, 2009, AKB48 released the single [[RIVER]] which became the first AKB48 single to reach #1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart. It became the second best selling female single of 2009. <br />
<br />
In December 31, 2009, AKB48 performed RIVER-Surprise special remix at the 60th NHK Kouhaku uta gassen. 72 members (all AKB48, the Kenkyusei, and 3 [[SKE48]] members)) were in the performance.<br />
<br />
"[[Majisuka Gakuen]]" (Majisuka Academy), a drama featuring several members of AKB48, SKE48 and SDN48 started airing from January 8th, 2010 on TV Tokyo.<br />
<br />
On March 3, 2010, a full 5 months after they announced that all the teams were to be reshuffled, the first new formation of AKB48's Team K premiered with their new stage titled "RESET."<br />
<br />
On August 2010, AKB48 expanded their official shops outside of Japan (namely Asia region) with it being in Hong Kong. They then expanded their locations with it being: Taiwan (April 2011), Singapore (May 2011) and Shanghai (July 2011).<br />
<br />
On December 8, 2010, AKB48 celebrated its 5th anniversary in the theater with a special performance by all members, as well as returning graduates. All 9th generation kenkyuusei were also promoted.<br />
<br />
In March 2011, it was announced on their blog they have temporarily closed the AKB Theater due to the [[Wikipedia:2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami|2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami]]. Many upcoming activities were also postponed, including their concerts at [[Yokohama Arena]] from March 25th to the 27th, and the release of their first studio album, ''[[Koko ni Ita Koto (album)|Koko ni Ita Koto]]''.<br />
<br />
On June 6, 2011, AKB48 made public announcement during this evening’s Himawari H1 Revival Stage the formation of a brand new AKB48 team, bluntly titled [[Team 4]]. The Team will consists of the 10 previously promoted kenkyuusei.<br />
<br />
On June 11th, 2011, It was announced at a handshake event that Eguchi Aimi, a girl who auditioned for [[NMB48]], would be joining AKB48 as a trainee, she appeared immediately in Playboy Weekly and in advertisements. Producer [[Akimoto Yasushi]] stated that she will be “the heroine of the new age”. Eguchi was immediately met with skepticism from many fans and soon Team K member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] leaked on her blog that Eguchi was made of parts of other members through photoshop. On June 20th, Weekly Playboy published an article about Eguchi, stating that she was made up of parts of [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Watanabe Mayu]], [[Shinoda Mariko]], [[Itano Tomomi]], [[Oshima Yuko]] and 12th generation Kenkyuusei Sasaki Yukari.<br />
<br />
On July 3rd, AKB48 announced and confirmed that they will be having their ‘24th Single Senbatsu Janken (Rock, Paper, Scissors) Tournament‘ in September. This will be the second year in a row that they will be choosing their ’senbatsu’ members for their new single, which is due to be released in December. The event will take place on September 20th at the Nippon Bukoukan once again. Moreover, This event will be broadcasting in Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand.<br />
<br />
On January 27, 2012, it was revealed that [[Hirajima Natsumi]] and [[Yonezawa Rumi]] resigned from AKB48.<br />
<br />
On March 25, 2012, it was announced [[Maeda Atsuko]] will be graduating from AKB48.<br />
<br />
On August 24, 2012, AKB48 had another team shuffle since August 2009. It was also announced that “Team 4″ which was formed in June of last year, will be discontinued, thus, they are back to 3 teams; Team A, K, and B, like it used to be.<br />

'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A without passing the second audition. Prior to joining the group, Shinoda was actually working as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater.. She could not attend the first audition for the group because she was working at the cafe. Fans petitioned for Shinoda to be able to join the group. <br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />
===KING RECORDS===<br />
On October 2008, the group signed with [[KING RECORDS]] under the You, Be Cool! sublabel, and released their 10th single titled [[Oogoe Diamond]] featuring [[Matsui Jurina]] of the just newly formed [[SKE48]] on the CD cover. In that same month, at the final performance of A4 Revival, original members [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Nakanishi Rina]] and [[Narita Risa]] announced their graduation simultaneously. Their graduation took place at AKB48's NHK Shuffle Concert on November 23, 2008. <br />
<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]]. At the end of the concert a new formation of AKB48 was announced, shuffling members from all teams. Each team was also assigned a captain; [[Takahashi Minami]] was to lead Team A, [[Akimoto Sayaka]] was to lead Team K, and [[Kashiwagi Yuki]] would become the leader of Team B. 4 of the group's oldest members, [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Urano Kazumi]], and [[Sato Yukari]] were transferred into the newly announced mature group named [[SDN48]] (Saturday Night 48).<br />
<br />

Many upcoming activities were also postponed, including their concerts at [[Yokohama Arena]] from March 25th to the 27th, and the release of their first studio album, ''[[Koko ni Ita Koto (album)|Koko ni Ita Koto]]''.<br />

Eguchi was immediately met with skepticism from many fans and soon Team K member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] leaked on her blog that Eguchi was made of parts of other members through photoshop. On June 20th, Weekly Playboy published an article about Eguchi, stating that she was made up of parts of [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Watanabe Mayu]], [[Shinoda Mariko]], [[Itano Tomomi]], [[Oshima Yuko]] and 12th generation Kenkyuusei Sasaki Yukari.<br />

===Baragumi and Yurigumi===<br />
<br />
On November 4th, 2006, it was announced that the members of Akihabara48 would be rearranged into two groups: Baragumi ('rose group') and Yurigumi ('lily group'). No more official announcements have been made on this matter since then, and it is widely believed that this idea has been scrapped.<br />
<br />
The two groups are as follows (☆ denotes a girl who has changed teams or graduated since the announcement was made):<br />

<div align="justify"><br />
'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the [[Oricon]] charts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A without passing the second audition. Prior to joining the group, Shinoda was actually working as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater.. She could not attend the first audition for the group because she was working at the cafe. Fans petitioned for Shinoda to be able to join the group. <br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />
===KING RECORDS===<br />
On October 2008, the group signed with [[KING RECORDS]] under the You, Be Cool! sublabel, and released their 10th single titled [[Oogoe Diamond]] featuring [[Matsui Jurina]] of the just newly formed [[SKE48]] on the CD cover. In that same month, at the final performance of A4 Revival, original members [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Nakanishi Rina]] and [[Narita Risa]] announced their graduation simultaneously. Their graduation took place at AKB48's NHK Shuffle Concert on November 23, 2008. <br />
<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]]. At the end of the concert a new formation of AKB48 was announced, shuffling members from all teams. Each team was also assigned a captain; [[Takahashi Minami]] was to lead Team A, [[Akimoto Sayaka]] was to lead Team K, and [[Kashiwagi Yuki]] would become the leader of Team B. 4 of the group's oldest members, [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Urano Kazumi]], and [[Sato Yukari]] were transferred into the newly announced mature group named [[SDN48]] (Saturday Night 48).<br />
<br />

Many upcoming activities were also postponed, including their concerts at [[Yokohama Arena]] from March 25th to the 27th, and the release of their first studio album, ''[[Koko ni Ita Koto (album)|Koko ni Ita Koto]]''.<br />

===Baragumi and Yurigumi===<br />

On November 4th, 2006, it was announced that the members of Akihabara48 would be rearranged into two groups: Baragumi ('rose group') and Yurigumi ('lily group').

==Information==<br />
Shortly after the debut of AKB48's first sister group [[SKE48]], a tabloid reported that [[Akimoto Yasushi]] was looking at expanding with a new group in Fukuoka. However, no further details were presented and it appeared as though the project was scrapped.<br />
<br />
In May 2011, however, it was announced that Akimoto would be having auditions for a new group in Hakata, called HKT48. At AKB48's concert in Seibu Dome, the first generation of HKT48 made their first appearance, and they began performing regularly in their theater in November.<br />
<br />
In February 2012, 16 girls were chosen as Team H.<br />
<br />
In June 2012, it was announced that AKB48 member [[Sashihara Rino]] would be transferred to HKT48. Her position would be left up to management<br />

<div>'''Senbatsu''' (選抜; literally 'selection') is a term used by [[AKB48]], [[SKE48]], [[SDN48]] and [[NMB48]], as well as by 'rival group' [[Nogizaka46]] to refer to the selected members in singles, events, performances, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Information==<br />
The term Senbatsu did not become commonly used until the First Senbatsu Election, which chose the selected members for [[Iiwake Maybe]], but the process of choosing specific members to perform the A-side of single releases has been in practice since [[Skirt, Hirari]].<br />
<br />
Senbatsu is almost always chosen by the management, but [[Iiwake Maybe]], [[Heavy Rotation]] and [[Flying Get]] were chosen by an election, and [[Chance no Junban]] and [[Ue kara Mariko]] was chosen via a rock-paper-scissors tournament.<br />

<br />
<div align="justify"><br />
'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A without passing the second audition. Prior to joining the group, Shinoda was actually working as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater.. She could not attend the first audition for the group because she was working at the cafe. Fans petitioned for Shinoda to be able to join the group. <br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />

<div>'''SKE48''' is an [[Idol|idol]] girl group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They are signed to [[avex trax]], and were formerly signed to [[Lantis]] & [[Crown Gold|CROWN GOLD]] labels. SKE48 regularly perform the stage show at Sunshine Sakae in Nagoya.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
In the Summer of 2008, Akimoto Yasushi started his plan to expand AKB48 to the entire country of Japan by starting in Nagoya. 22 members were chosen and 15 of these girls debuted with former [[AKB48 Kenkyuusei]] [[Nakanishi Yuuka]] as Team S. 11 year old [[Matsui Jurina]] was chosen as senbatsu and center for [[AKB48]]'s 10th major single [[Oogoe Diamond]], and SKE48 started performing regularly in the SUNSHINE SAKAE theater. Even before they could release a single, [[Suzuki Kirara]] of Team S graduated in November 2008 having only to perform their first stage.<br />
<br />
In April 2009, 23 new girls were chosen as the candidates for the new SKE48 team, KII. 1st generation kenkyuusei [[Sato Seira]] and Team S member [[Sato Mieko]] were chosen to join Team KII and [[Mori Sayuki]] was added to Team S.<br />
<br />
In August 2009, SKE48 released their first single [[Tsuyoki Mono yo]] on Lantis. It did not have senbatsu, and instead featured Team S on the A-side and Team KII as the B-side. Shortly after this Team S lost another member, [[Takai Tsukina]] graduated citing to focus on her studies.<br />
<br />
In November 2009, a third generation was announced and 13 members were added to Kenkyuusei.<br />
<br />
In December 2009, Maeda Eiko from Team KII transferred to the newly debuted sister group, [[SDN48]] for idols who are above 18 years old. Also in this time, [[Yamashita Moe]] graduated from the group to become a graphic artist.<br />
<br />
In February 2010, SKE48 Kenkyuusei began performing regularly in the theater.<br />
<br />
In March 2010, SKE48 released its first single on CROWN GOLD. It featured a 7 person senbatsu. Also in March, 1st generation members [[Mori Sayuki]] and [[Shinkai Rina]] were demoted to Kenkyuusei, eventually to graduate in May 2010.<br />
<br />
SKE48's 4th generation debuted in September 2010. 16 new Kenkyuusei were added to the group, bringing the total number of Kenkyuusei to 26.<br />
<br />
On December 6, 2010, SKE48 announced the creation of Team E, using 16 kenkyuusei. 4 members of Team KII, Iguchi Shiori, Uchiyama Mikoto, Kit Momona and Saito Makiko were moved to Kenkyuusei. 4 remaining members of Kenkyuusei, [[Abiru Riho]], [[Goto Risako]], [[Hata Sawako]] and [[Yakata Miki]] were moved to Team KII. This was also the first time that SKE48 reached its goal of 48 official members.<br />
<br />
On May 28, 2011, SKE48 announced that they were changing record labels to [[avex trax]] and their first single under their new label, [[Pareo wa Emerald]] would be released on July 27, 2011.<br />

==Information==<br />
Shortly after the debut of AKB48's first sister group [[SKE48]], a tabloid reported that [[Akimoto Yasushi]] was looking at expanding with a new group in Fukuoka. However, no further details were presented and it appeared as though the project was scrapped.<br />
<br />
In May 2011, however, it was announced that Akimoto would be having auditions for a new group in Hakata, called HKT48. At AKB48's concert in Seibu Dome, the first generation of HKT48 made their first appearance, and they began performing regularly in their theater in November.<br />
<br />
In February 2012, 16 girls were chosen as Team H.<br />
<br />
In June 2012, it was announced that AKB48 member [[Sashihara Rino]] would be transferred to HKT48. Her position would be left up to management<br />

'''NMB48''' is a Japanese [[idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. It performs regularly in the NMB48 Theater, previously known as base YOSHIMOTO.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
To continue his plan for a franchise of idol groups in Japan, Akimoto Yasushi announced that he would start an idol group in Nanba, Osaka. NMB48's name comes from '''N'''a'''MB'''a, an alternate romanization of Nanba.<br />
<br />
Auditions were held in August 2010, and were broadcast on the TV show "Starhime Sagashitarou", which featured members of SKE48. Initially, 26 girls passed but there will still be inter-auditions to pick the 16 girls who will be Team N. The 26 girls were introduced on October 9th, 2010 at AKB48's Aki Matsuri.<br />
<br />
On December 4, 2010, NMB48 announced that Team N and its captain will be announced at the shonichi performance of Team N's first stage. The remaining members will remain kenkyuusei.<br />
<br />
On January 1, 2011, NMB48 started performances of its first stage. On March 10, 2011 Team N was formed.<br />
<br />
In June 2011, it was announced that NMB48 would be making their single debut with [[Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo]], several months after their first original song [[Seishun no Lap Time]] was being performed in the theater. On June 6, the second generation winners were announced at the end of Team N's performance at TDC Hall. The introduction of the 2nd generation brought the total number of members in NMB48 to their goal number of 48.<br />
<br />
In August 2011, photos of 2nd generation member Shimada Rena with a boyfriend surfaced on the internet. Initially, no action was taking regarding the photos, but as more photos surfaced and as other scandals were brought to attention by fans, Shimada was suspended from activities for the rest of 2011 starting in September. At this time, [[Yoshida Akari]] and [[Matsuda Shiori]] were also suspended due to issues balancing school work with work, and Yoshida, [[Kondo Rina]] and [[Watanabe Miyuki]] were removed from the preliminary senbatsu for NMB's second single due to undisclosed reasons, and replaced with [[Yamaguchi Yuuki]], Yamagishi Natsumi and Murakami Ayaka.<br />

<div>'''SKE48''' is an [[Idol|idol]] girl group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They are signed to [[avex trax]], and were formerly signed to [[Lantis]] & [[Crown Gold|CROWN GOLD]] labels. SKE48 regularly perform the stage show at Sunshine Sakae in Nagoya.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
In the Summer of 2008, Akimoto Yasushi started his plan to expand AKB48 to the entire country of Japan by starting in Nagoya. 22 members were chosen and 15 of these girls debuted with former [[AKB48 Kenkyuusei]] [[Nakanishi Yuuka]] as Team S. 11 year old [[Matsui Jurina]] was chosen as senbatsu and center for [[AKB48]]'s 10th major single [[Oogoe Diamond]], and SKE48 started performing regularly in the SUNSHINE SAKAE theater. Even before they could release a single, [[Suzuki Kirara]] of Team S graduated in November 2008 having only to perform their first stage.<br />
<br />
In April 2009, 23 new girls were chosen as the candidates for the new SKE48 team, KII. 1st generation kenkyuusei [[Sato Seira]] and Team S member [[Sato Mieko]] were chosen to join Team KII and [[Mori Sayuki]] was added to Team S.<br />
<br />
In August 2009, SKE48 released their first single [[Tsuyoki Mono yo]] on Lantis. It did not have senbatsu, and instead featured Team S on the A-side and Team KII as the B-side. Shortly after this Team S lost another member, [[Takai Tsukina]] graduated citing to focus on her studies.<br />
<br />
In November 2009, a third generation was announced and 13 members were added to Kenkyuusei.<br />
<br />
In December 2009, Maeda Eiko from Team KII transferred to the newly debuted sister group, [[SDN48]] for idols who are above 18 years old. Also in this time, [[Yamashita Moe]] graduated from the group to become a graphic artist.<br />
<br />
In February 2010, SKE48 Kenkyuusei began performing regularly in the theater.<br />
<br />
In March 2010, SKE48 released its first single on CROWN GOLD. It featured a 7 person senbatsu. Also in March, 1st generation members [[Mori Sayuki]] and [[Shinkai Rina]] were demoted to Kenkyuusei, eventually to graduate in May 2010.<br />
<br />
SKE48's 4th generation debuted in September 2010. 16 new Kenkyuusei were added to the group, bringing the total number of Kenkyuusei to 26.<br />
<br />
On December 6, 2010, SKE48 announced the creation of Team E, using 16 kenkyuusei. 4 members of Team KII, Iguchi Shiori, Uchiyama Mikoto, Kit Momona and Saito Makiko were moved to Kenkyuusei. 4 remaining members of Kenkyuusei, [[Abiru Riho]], [[Goto Risako]], [[Hata Sawako]] and [[Yakata Miki]] were moved to Team KII. This was also the first time that SKE48 reached its goal of 48 official members.<br />
<br />
On May 28, 2011, SKE48 announced that they were changing record labels to [[avex trax]] and their first single under their new label, [[Pareo wa Emerald]] would be released on July 27, 2011.<br />

'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A without passing the second audition. Prior to joining the group, Shinoda was actually working as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater.. She could not attend the first audition for the group because she was working at the cafe. Fans petitioned for Shinoda to be able to join the group. <br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />

===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />

<br />

<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]]. At the end of the concert a new formation of AKB48 was announced, shuffling members from all teams. Each team was also assigned a captain; [[Takahashi Minami]] was to lead Team A, [[Akimoto Sayaka]] was to lead Team K, and [[Kashiwagi Yuki]] would become the leader of Team B. 4 of the group's oldest members, [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Urano Kazumi]], and [[Sato Yukari]] were transferred into the newly announced mature group named [[SDN48]] (Saturday Night 48).<br />

'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A without passing the second audition. Prior to joining the group, Shinoda was actually working as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater.. She could not attend the first audition for the group because she was working at the cafe. Fans petitioned for Shinoda to be able to join the group. <br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert. The concert was later canceled because this violated a Japanese anti-monopoly law. <br />
<br />
In October and November of 2007, Team A members [[Watanabe Shiho]] and [[Masuyama Kayano]] graduated.<br />
<br />
On December 31, 2007, 43 members of AKB48 appeared on the 58th Annual [[Kohaku Uta Gassen]], the prestigous end of the year music special. They performed with idols [[Leah Dizon]] and [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. <br />
<br />
In August 2008, Team B member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] was fired after pictures of her with a boy surfaced. Fans requested a second chance for her. In the end, she had to audition again and was readmitted as a Research Student.<br />
<br />
===KING RECORDS===<br />
On October 2008, the group signed with [[KING RECORDS]] under the You, Be Cool! sublabel, and released their 10th single titled [[Oogoe Diamond]] featuring [[Matsui Jurina]] of the just newly formed [[SKE48]] on the CD cover. In that same month, at the final performance of A4 Revival, original members [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Nakanishi Rina]] and [[Narita Risa]] announced their graduation simultaneously. Their graduation took place at AKB48's NHK Shuffle Concert on November 23, 2008. <br />
<br />
From August 22-23, 2009, [[AKB48]] and [[SKE48]] performed a concert at the famous Japanese stadium, the [[Nippon Budokan]]. At the end of the concert a new formation of AKB48 was announced, shuffling members from all teams. Each team was also assigned a captain; [[Takahashi Minami]] was to lead Team A, [[Akimoto Sayaka]] was to lead Team K, and [[Kashiwagi Yuki]] would become the leader of Team B. 4 of the group's oldest members, [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Urano Kazumi]], and [[Sato Yukari]] were transferred into the newly announced mature group named [[SDN48]] (Saturday Night 48).<br />
<br />
In October 21, 2009, AKB48 released the single [[RIVER]] which became the first AKB48 single to reach #1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart. It became the second best selling female single of 2009. <br />
<br />
In December 31, 2009, AKB48 performed RIVER-Surprise special remix at the 60th NHK Kouhaku uta gassen. 72 members (all AKB48, the Kenkyusei, and 3 [[SKE48]] members)) were in the performance.<br />

<br />
On December 8, 2010, AKB48 celebrated its 5th anniversary in the theater with a special performance by all members, as well as returning graduates. All 9th generation kenkyuusei were also promoted.<br />
<br />
In March 2011, it was announced on their blog they have temporarily closed the AKB Theater due to the [[Wikipedia:2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami|2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami]]. Many upcoming activities were also postponed, including their concerts at [[Yokohama Arena]] from March 25th to the 27th, and the release of their first studio album, ''[[Koko ni Ita Koto (album)|Koko ni Ita Koto]]''.<br />
<br />
On June 6, 2011, AKB48 made public announcement during this evening’s Himawari H1 Revival Stage the formation of a brand new AKB48 team, bluntly titled [[Team 4]]. The Team will consists of the 10 previously promoted kenkyuusei.<br />

Producer [[Akimoto Yasushi]] stated that she will be “the heroine of the new age”. Eguchi was immediately met with skepticism from many fans and soon Team K member [[Kikuchi Ayaka]] leaked on her blog that Eguchi was made of parts of other members through photoshop. On June 20th, Weekly Playboy published an article about Eguchi, stating that she was made up of parts of [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Watanabe Mayu]], [[Shinoda Mariko]], [[Itano Tomomi]], [[Oshima Yuko]] and 12th generation Kenkyuusei Sasaki Yukari. There’ll be an official announcement on the June 20, 2011 regarding Aimi. <br />

On November 4th, 2006, it was announced that the members of Akihabara48 would be rearranged into two groups: Baragumi ('rose group') and Yurigumi ('lily group'). No more official announcements have been made on this matter since then, and it is widely believed that this idea has been scrapped.<br />

<div align="justify"><br />
'''AKB48''' (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese [[Idol|idol]] group produced by [[Akimoto Yasushi]]. They have their own theater in [[Wikipedia:Akihabara|Akihabara]] (a district in [[Tokyo]]) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Theater Debut and Indies Era=== <br />
In July 2005, renown producer [[Yasushi Akimoto]] held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions, detailed screening of the application documents. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In November, the selected girls went through an extensive one month training program. <br />
<br />
On December 1st, the AKB48 Theater had its grand opening. On December 8, 2005, the group held its first public show in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A. The team consisted of:<br />
<br />
[[Itano Tomomi]], [[Kawasaki Nozomi]], [[Kojima Haruna]], [[Komatani Hitomi]], [[Maeda Atsuko]], [[Masuyama Kayano]], [[Minegishi Minami]], [[Nakanishi Rina]], [[Narita Risa]], [[Ohe Tomomi]], [[Oshima Mai]], [[Sato Yukari]], [[Takahashi Minami]], [[Tojima Hana]], [[Usami Yuki]], [[Orii Ayumi]], [[Hoshino Michiru]], [[Urano Kazumi]], [[Watanabe Shiho]], and [[Hirajima Natsumi]]<br />
<br />
A second audition was soon announced, and was held in cooperation with Japanese telecom company [[NTT DoCoMo]]. It was the first audition ever where the applicants had to send in their audition video with their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
In January 2006, three months before Team K was formed, Akimoto let [[Shinoda Mariko]] join the group as part of Team A without passing the second audition. Prior to joining the group, Shinoda was actually working as a waitress in a cafe in the same building and on the same floor as the the AKB48 theater.. She could not attend the first audition for the group because she was working at the cafe. Fans petitioned for Shinoda to be able to join the group. <br />
<br />
19 of the 11,892 applicants who participated in the second audition were chosen to join AKB48, but in the end only 17 girls joined the group to become Team K in April 2006. They were:<br />
<br />
[[Akimoto Sayaka]], [[Umeda Ayaka]], [[Oshima Yuko]], [[Ohori Megumi]], [[Oku Manami]], [[Ono Erena]], [[Kasai Tomomi]], [[Kobayashi Kana]], [[Sato Natsuki]], [[Noro Kayo]], [[Hayano Kaoru]], [[Masuda Yuka]], [[Matsubara Natsumi]], [[Miyazawa Sae]], [[Imai Yu]], [[Uemura Ayako]], and [[Takada Ayana]]. <br />
<br />
On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater. <br />
<br />
AKB48 released its debut single [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi]] in February 2006, which made it to #10 on [[Oricon]] charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week - a surprisingly high rank for a group on an indies label.<br />
<br />
In March of 2006, [[Usami Yuki]] of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group. <br />
<br />
On June 7 AKB48 released their second indies single, [[Skirt, Hirari]], and performed on TV for the first time. Shortly after, on June 17th, [[Uemura Ayako]] of Team K graduates from the group.<br />
<br />
===Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era===<br />
In August 2006 AKB48 signed a major label contract with [[DefSTAR Records]], a part of [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. Their first single under DefSTAR Records, [[Aitakatta]], was released on October 25, 2006 and reached #12 on the [[Oricon]] Weekly Singles Chart.<br />
<br />
In October 2006, a third audition was announced, resulting in the arrival of 13 new members forming Team B in December 2006. The selected girls were:<br />
<br />
[[Inoue Naru]], [[Oota Aika]], [[Kashiwagi Yuki]], [[Katayama Haruka]], [[Kikuchi Ayaka]], [[Saotome Miki]], [[Tanabe Miku]], [[Nakagawa Haruka]], [[Nakaya Sayaka]], [[Noguchi Reina]], [[Matsuoka Yuki]], [[Yonezawa Rumi]], and [[Watanabe Mayu]]<br />
<br />
On November 3rd & 4th, 2006, AKB48 performed their first concert [[AKB48 First Concert "Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~]] at Nippon Seinenkan in Sendagaya, Shinjuku.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, the first change was made to the three teams, transferring [[Kazumi Urano]], [[Shiho Watanabe]], and [[Natsumi Hirajima]] from Team A to Team B as supporting members. [[Orii Ayumi]] graduated from the group shortly after this.<br />
<br />
On January 31st, 2007, AKB48's fourth single (second under DefSTAR Records) [[Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru]] was released; reaching #7 on [[Oricon]] charts. There has been speculation that the PV and lyrics to this song are an allusion to ''enjo kosai'' - voluntary underage prostitution - though this has not been confirmed. Their next single, [[Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou]], featured a theme of bullying and suicide throughout the lyrics and PV. To promote the singles, AKB48 went on their second concert tour, AKB48 Haru no Chotto dake Zenkoku Tour ~Madamada daze AKB48!~ which began on March 10, 2007.<br />
<br />
In June 2007, members [[Imai Yu]], [[Hoshino Michiru]] and [[Takada Ayana]] graduated at roughly the same time. The group's fifth single [[BINGO!]], was released on July 18th, 2007.<br />
<br />
On New Years Day 2008, AKB48 released their first studio album, ''[[Set List: Greatest Songs 2006–2007]]''. The compilation album included all of the group's singles up until their sixth, [[Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka|Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?]]. Team K member [[Ohori Megumi]] (now in [[SDN48]]) became the first member to have a solo cover on one of AKB48's CD releases. She appeared exclusively on the cover of the Limited Edition of the album. The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts. <br />
<br />
In February 2008, AKB48 re-released their first indies single, changing the title to [[Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008]]. This would turn out to be their last release under the DefSTAR Records label. A spring concert was initially announced. Fans who bought a copy of ''Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008'' at the theater would be given a random poster featuring one of the girls. If a fan collected all 44 types of the posters, they would be entered in a lottery to win tickets for their spring concert.
