AKB48
Idols You Can Meet Everyday

AKB48 is a Tokyo's Akihabara-based female idol group produced in 2005 by Yasushi Akimoto, a songwriter.

The group was born under the concept "idols you can meet everyday." Based in Akihabara, the "hottest" town in Japan as the mecca of Japanese subculture including anime, manga, figurines etc, AKB48 has its own theater and performs there everyday. AKB48 consists of 3 teams, Team A, Team K and Team B, dividing 48 members into respective teams. Besides the members, there are trainees who have chances to get promoted to the members. 

AKB48 sister groups have been established in other cities like SKE48 in Sakae, Nagoya, and NMB48 in Namba, Osaka. The name of each group derives from a shortened representation of the city the group is based in.

Under the concept "idols you can meet everyday," AKB48 has widen their appeal as an idol group in the new era by performing in various fields such as movies, TV shows, theaters, modeling, radio, magazines and more, in addition to their regular stage performance.
