Atsuko Maeda had belonged to AKB48 graduated from Japanese idol pop

group "AKB48" on August 27, and the public performance for her was held

at AKB48 theater in Tokyo, Akihabara.

That fact surprised not only AKB's fan but also people who were not their fan.

In the day, Akihabara was very crowded by many people who felt sad for

her graduation. And the sight and the performance held in the establishment

were relayed from many TV stations.

Do you know this Japanese idol pop group "AKB48"?
I wrote the article about them on this blog before. Do you remember it?
I'll tell you about them again :)

They are the most popular idol group in Japan now.
We call them "A, K, B, forty, eight".
AKB48 was produced by Yasushi Akimoto in 2005.
He is a famous lyricist and broadcast writer in Japan.

They have acted for their fans with the concept
"Idols you can meet everyday".
They give the public performance almost every day even now.
So you can meet them. They are an invaluable artist for thinking so.

And now, we can listen to their music in many places,
on TV, on radio, in many shops.
I don't know the places where you don't hear their music :)

So...
You should know about them to know Japanese culture LOL
