The Official AKB48 Thread

AKB48 (derived from Akihabara 48) is a female Japanese idol group produced by Akimoto Yasushi. They have their own theater in Akihabara (a district in Tokyo) where they perform regularly. The concept of the group is "idols you can meet". AKB48 is named after Akihabara (Akiba for short), the area in Tokyo where the group's theater is located. The idea of AKB48's producer Yasushi Akimoto was to create a girl group that, unlike a regular pop group, which gives occasional concerts and that is mostly seen on TV, would have its own theater and perform there on a daily basis; the fans would always be able to go and see the girls live. AKB48 still performs at the theater daily, with tickets distributed by lottery.Akimoto has also expanded the AKB48 concept to several sister groups throughout Asia.

The group consists of four "teams" (subgroups): Team A, Team K, and Team B, and Team 4. Having several teams not only allows the group to reduce the load on its members, since a daily concert at the theater is given by only one team, but also gives AKB48 opportunity to perform in several places and even countries simultaneously. Each of the teams also has a unique image.According to member Misaki Iwasa, Team A represents freedom, Team B is very idol-like with cutesy costumes, while Team K has a strong and powerful image. In 2010, Team 4 was formed, however, disbanded after 2 years. A new Team 4 was revived in 2013 with different members.
According to an early press release, the group intended to have 16 members on each team to make a total member count of 48but had varied the member count over time,and had as many as 92. A number of aspiring members (so-called trainees or kenkyūsei(研究生?)) learn the group's songs and are appointed as understudies for the main members, so that a replacement is always available.

In addition to singing performances, members are heavily promoted throughout the Japanese mass media. The group regularly holds "handshake events", where fans get a chance to shake hands with the group's members.

Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the Oricon charts.
