TV Performances

Selected Members

• Team A: Itano Tomomi, Oshima Mai, Kojima Haruna, Takahashi Minami, Nakanishi Rina, Narita Risa, Maeda Atsuko

The seven selected members were named the "Sukahira Seven" (すかひら7) and were originally meant to be the consistent leads of AKB48. However this idea was changed over time, ultimately phasing out Narita Risa almost immediately, then Nakanishi Rina next. More or less, the other five girls continued to be seen normally as consistent leads of AKB48.
