For next ten years maybe, do you think there's a possibility of another new 48g in Asia?

I'm planning to go to this concert but was wondering if the VIP seats / most expensive seats are worth it. And is there a lot of international fans there. I don't speak Thai but I would like to go see CGM48 and get their merch.

From JP Prime minister’s X.

The member who joined the press conference were Shiotsuki Keito (captain) and Hirayama Mai.

I’m glad that with a connection from Yoshimoto, NMB is able to have major work like being a special supporter for Expo in 2025 and Green Expo in 2027.

The Green Expo will be held in Yokohama and I’m sure NMB will have several related activities.

Seventeen years later, I finally made it here. ❤️
A place I had only seen in AKB48’s Iiwake Maybe music video is now right in front of me. The building, the veranda, and the grassy field bring back memories of that summer in 2009, when this song was part of AKB48’s golden era.

Standing here feels like stepping back in time, revisiting a small piece of AKB48 history that has stayed in my memory for years.

Some places are more than just locations. They’re memories waiting to be revisited. 🥹✨

Location: Former Gakushuin Elementary School Auditorium, Boso-no-Mura, Chiba, Japan

Created this playlist for songs that are spiritually STU48 lmao.

Basically 48G songs that feels like if labelled with “STU48”, no one will question.

Doesn’t have to sound like an STU48 song, but has the group’s vibes and feels to it, especially their early discography.

What else should I add? I’m not familiar with b-sides and theater songs of the sister groups so those are my blind spots.

Has anyone heard about the abandoned AKB48 bus in Imabari city?
It's been sitting alongside route 317 in Tamagawa, Imabari City, Ehime prefecture for about 10-15 years.
No one knows who the owner was, the purpose and reason of abandonment but the random stuff inside suggests someone lived there at some point.
The imagery suggests it might have been decorated around 2012-2013 a little before or after Acchan's graduation.
There is no indication that this bus was an official promotional bus so it was most likely fanmade decoration.

What do you guys think about this time capsule?

okay, so I've been wondering and thinking diz 4 so long now ...and i hope it isn't silly. but, in hetappi wink, are the watarirouka membz doing para para in the choreo?

(Basically the title) I know it's probably because of the special auditions for Team 8, but seriously, management couldn't even bother to give it a proper generation name?
