AKB48 (Akihabara 48) is an all-girl idol group (age 12 – 23) consisting of two teams of 20 and 16 members respectively. The idea is “idols you can go and see” why they have daily performances in their own theatre in Akihabara, Tokyo. The man behind the project, Yasushi Akimoto, was involved with another all-girl group,
Onyanko Club, back in the 80’s.
It may be a cheap trick to put teenage girls in school uniform on stage, but I must admit that I like them.
