AKB48′s Akimoto Sayaka returns to Team K captain position, forms new unit DiVAhttp://www.tokyograph.com/news/akb48s-akimoto-sayaka-returns-to-team-k-captain-position-forms-new-unit-diva (http://www.tokyograph.com/news/akb48s-akimoto-sayaka-returns-to-team-k-captain-position-forms-new-unit-diva)
AKB48 member Akimoto Sayaka (22) successfully ran the Tokyo Marathon on Sunday. She finished the course in 6 hours, 50 minutes, and 6 seconds, barely within the 7-hour time limit for the marathon. As a result, AKB48 producer Akimoto Yasushi rewarded her efforts by announcing the reinstatement of Akimoto as the captain of Team K.
Akimoto personally resigned from the captain position last October after it was revealed that media creator Hiroi Oji (57) had spent a night at her apartment, though the situation was apparently innocent. Many fans have been supportive of her since then, sending messages assuring her that she didn’t need to quit.
Akimoto’s re-appointment as captain was accompanied by another announcement that same day. Her management agency, office48, revealed that she will be part of a new 4-member unit called DiVA. She is being grouped with fellow AKB48 members Umeda Ayaka (22), Masuda Yuka (19), and Miyazawa Sae (20). The group is expected to release their debut single this spring.

AKB48′s DiVA to recruit new members through auditionhttp://www.tokyograph.com/news/akb48s-diva-to-recruit-new-members-through-audition (http://www.tokyograph.com/news/akb48s-diva-to-recruit-new-members-through-audition)
Posted on April 20, 2011 by tokyograph
AKB48’s newest sub-unit DiVA held their debut event in Japan on Wednesday, performing their first single “Tsuki no Uragawa,” which is being released on May 18. During the event, it was revealed that the group plans to add several new members this summer through an open audition, the first ever for one of AKB48′s sub-units.
At the moment, DiVA consists of Akimoto Sayaka (22), Miyazawa Sae (20), Umeda Ayaka (22), and Masuda Yuka (19). In the words of producer Akimoto Yasushi, the group is currently “incomplete,” so he plans to add 6 more members, bringing the group total up to 10. Once the group is “completed” and becomes a “vocal and dance unit that everyone can acknowledge,” their name will evolve from DiVA (with a lower-case “i”) to DIVA (with a capital “I”).
Producer Akimoto drew a parallel to the popular group EXILE, which “powered up” in 2009 when it grew from 7 members to 14 members. He told DiVA that he didn’t want them to settle for a CD debut as their goal; rather, he wants them to aim at becoming the number-one vocal and dance unit.
The audition for new members will be held this summer. More details will be announced at a later date.
I dun like the audition news... >_< I'd keep DiVA as it is now... cos it's perfect now T_TAgreed.

DiVA 「Information」 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKtqAKcc1_4#ws)Live vocals ftw :D
No one posted about DiVA's upcoming concerts yet?Hm, would that mean there'd be solos/duets in order to lengthen the concert? 'Cuz it'd be hard to believe they'd perform song after song and do the MCs too for the duration of the entire concert.
We'll see :ph43r: They're 1 hour concerts. Prolly playing all of their songs and maybe some surprises? Like... like... like.... Twin duet! :inlove: A fangirl can dream right lolNo one posted about DiVA's upcoming concerts yet?Hm, would that mean there'd be solos/duets in order to lengthen the concert? 'Cuz it'd be hard to believe they'd perform song after song and do the MCs too for the duration of the entire concert.
We are going to have “UNIT MATSURI” concert on January 23rd, and DiVA will also perform on the stage of it
Please be assured that the remaining members of DiVA will be having their performance as scheduled.
