AKB48 (2011-08-06)
I've been living in a hole.
I'm late to this red hot Japanese girl singing group known as
AKB48. They are one of the three groups (the other two are SKE
48 and NMB 48) in the entire group (I find this very confusing) but
they seem to be the most popular. They do
shows in their theater in Akihabara (
)
and they sell CDs and stuff, that's about all I know.
They've been on TV so much lately that one can't escape seeing
their faces or hearing their famous song.
The TV commercial aired in June that featured their newest member
16-year-old Aimi Eguchi created a whir of sensation and publicity
because the very pretty face was later reviewed to be a result of
computer graphics.
