it's to promote their new album in august, the 12 songs are part of the setlist
I laughed when they said Sashihara will be representing team H. I still see her as an AKB member ._.
uh, why is A-chan still in AKB ? Don't understand
You probably saw the news about her graduation. It's misleading though, YES she will be graduating. Did she graduated yet? NO. She will officially graduate from the group after their summer tour.
loooks funny :/
just no why
@.@
You guys are funny. It's just a temporary group. There's a big long list on wikipedia of temporary subgroups made for the sake of a media tie-in. There's another list of groups for B-sides. And various shuffles also have names. They name them. It's no big deal. This one does seem like they're going to release a bunch of songs though, but I figure it's one time only.
Another unit???? Team Surprise??? Somehow, I don't feel that enthusiastic
Looking forward to the new album. Would love to have seen Saaya in this unit.
A temp unit isn't it? I also heard Acchan, Yuko and Yukirin forming a unit as well... 3 aces, dunno how that will turn out...
where u come to Indonesia again??.. can't wait to see u..

“Yo dawg! we heard you like AKB48 so we put a AKB48 in yo’ AKB48 so you can listen to AKB48 while yo' listen to the AKB48"
