AKB48
AKB48 members are girls whose age ranges from 13 to 20-plus. They are
recruited through auditions that are held regularly in Japan.[11] Members of the group are not allowed to have boyfriends, and must be "well-behaved."[18] If they "misbehave", they may be expelled from the group.[19] When members get older, they "graduate" from the group and are replaced by new members.[3]
AKB48 was founded based on the "idols you can meet" concept.[20] The group's producer Yasushi Akimoto decided to create an idol group that, unlike a regular idol group that 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.[15][20] AKB48 performs at the theater daily; because of demand, tickets are now distributed only via a lottery.[11] The AKB48 Theater is located in the Don Quijote store in Akihabara, Tokyo.[11]
The group consists of four subgroups: Team A, Team K, 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.[16] Each of the teams also has a unique image.[18] 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.[18] A number of aspiring members (so-called trainees or "Kenkyūsei") learn the group's songs and are appointed as stand-ins 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.[11] The group regularly holds "handshake events", where fans get a chance to shake hands with the group's members.[11]
In 2009, the concept of "senbatsu general elections" was introduced.[15] In these elections, fans vote for their favourite members of AKB48 and its sister groups. Members who receive most votes get to participate in the recording of AKB48's next single,[15] are more heavily promoted,[11] and get to sing center stage during the group's performances. To obtain a ballot, voters have to buy the group's singles.[21] Another new concept, AKB48's rock-paper-scissors tournaments, was introduced in 2010 for the group's 19th single "Chance no Junban".[22] Members of AKB48 and its sister groups compete against each other in the knockout tournament for being on AKB48's next single

AKB 48
Personnel
AKB48 holds the Guinness World Record for being the world's "largest pop group".[12][13] The group currently consists of a total of 88 girls, divided into three subgroups: Team A and Team K with 21 members each and Team B with 22 members,[14] as well as a number of aspiring members, who are called "kenkyūsei" ("trainees").[15] The member lineup often changes as when girls get older, they "graduate" from the group, while new members are cast through regularly held auditions.[3] 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.[16]Given the large number of members in the group, AKB48 uses two selection methods to determine who will record a single and perform it on TV.[citation needed] So far, two big selection events are held annually. One is selected by fans who vote for their favorite members in so-called "general elections" ("sōsenkyo" in Japanese). Fans participate by purchasing the group's latest single, which includes a ticket that allows the buyer to register a vote for a particular member. The other selection method consists of a rock-paper-scissors tournament between the members themselves. Votes cast for the 2011 election exceeded 1 million, and the single "Everyday, Katyusha", that contained a voting ticket for the election, set a new Japanese all-time record for weekly sales of a CD single.
AKB48
AKB48 (read "A.K.B. Forty-eight") is a Japanese girl group. The group has 88 members, ranging in age from 13 to mid-20s.[1] Produced by Yasushi Akimoto, it is one of the highest-earning musical acts in the world, with 2011 record sales of over US$200 million in Japan alone.[2] It has achieved such popularity in Japan[3] that it has been characterized as a social phenomenon.[4]
As of January 2013, the group's seventeen latest singles topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart. In 2010, "Beginner" and "Heavy Rotation" placed, respectively, first and second in the list of Japan's best selling singles for the year.[5] In 2011 and 2012 AKB48's singles occupied the top five spots of the Oricon Yearly Singles Chart.[6][7] The band has sold over 20 million CDs,[8][9] and holds the record for most singles sold in Japan by a female group.[10]
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 every day; tickets are now distributed only via a lottery.[11]
