History

2005 - 2006: Theater Debut and Indies Era

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.

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:

‪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

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.

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.

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:

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.

On April 1, 2006, Team K started performing at the AKB48 theater.

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.

In March of 2006, Usami Yuki of Team A became the first girl to graduate from the group.

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.

2006 - 2008: Major Label Debut and DefSTAR Records Era

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.

The album managed to reach #3 on the Oricon Weekly Album charts.

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.

In October and November of 2007, Team A members Watanabe Shiho and Masuyama Kayano graduated.

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.

Among them was Minegishi's graduation, which was postponed indefinitely after being scheduled for April 2nd. The group also launched OUC48, named after the Japanese word for home (お家; ouchi). As OUC48, the members performed regular stage plays from their homes, which were filmed through video chat and streamed on YouTube.

Baragumi and Yurigumi

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.

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. It was used once again in the single Kibouteki Refrain, but with an additional third unit, Cattleyagumi ('cattleya group').

The two groups are as follows (☆ denotes a girl who has changed teams or graduated since the announcement was made):

• Baragumi

Team A: Hirajima Natsumi☆, Kojima Haruna, Komatani Hitomi☆, Masuyama Kayano☆, Minegishi Minami, Oshima Mai☆, Takahashi Minami, Urano Kazumi☆, Watanabe Shiho☆.

Team K: Akimoto Sayaka☆, Imai Yu☆, Kasai Tomomi☆, Kobayashi Kana, Matsubara Natsumi☆, Noro Kayo☆, Ohori Megumi☆, Ono Erena☆.

• Yurigumi

Team A: Hoshino Michiru☆, Itano Tomomi☆, Kawasaki Nozomi☆, Maeda Atsuko☆, Nakanishi Rina☆, Narita Risa☆, Ohe Tomomi☆, Sato Yukari☆, Shinoda Mariko☆, Tojima Hana☆.

Team K: Hayano Kaoru☆, Masuda Yuka☆, Miyazawa Sae☆, Oku Manami☆, Oshima Yuko☆, Sato Natsuki☆, Takada Ayana☆, Umeda Ayaka☆.
