This is big news...

Some say it's to promote her possible 3rd single?

Acchan is shooting a music video overseas...

possible 3rd single?



And hey... web twitter can now auto-translate... is that why it was down earlier today?

Also, she is in the Return of Team Surprise:

Curiously the official blog post mentions "new unit announcement" in the same bullet point as the Acchan appearance...


Also, why the Sapporo Dome concert only?

What connection does Acchan have with Sapporo?

All I know is that she did some adverts for Sapporo Beer after her ACCHANASS scandal:

She will be back in Sapporo Dome right? With new unit announcement right? Then what if the new unit is SPR48? 
SPR48 = Sapporo48

Her appearance will be for the promotion of her 3rd single and according to some info they conclude she will appear in the team surprise song only.
About the new unit, it was not confirmed yet if Acchan is there :3
Let's hope for the best xD

On July 31, Maeda Atsuko made a surprise guest appearance at AKB48's Sapporo Dome concert of their tour, 'AKB48 2013 Manatsu no Dome Tour ~Mada Mada, Yaranakya Ikenai Koto ga Aru~'.


Maeda excited the crowd of 30,000 people by singing 3 songs including her newest "Time Machine Nante Iranai", which is scheduled for release in September. This marked her first time appearing at the group's concert since graduating on August 27 of last year.

Maeda, who appeared on stage wearing a yellow dress, sang "Flower" and "Kimi wa Boku da" back-to-back. During the MC, she greeted, "Everyone, it's been a while. I'm Maeda Atsuko. It's been a year since I graduated. I am very happy to sing in front of everyone."

Takahashi Minami told Maeda, "It's been a while. You became beautiful." When asked, "What have you been up to recently?", by Kojima Haruna, Maeda answered, "I'm in the middle of shooting a drama for NHK."

Itano Tomomi, who will be graduating from the group on August 27, asked, "Does anything change after you graduate?" Maeda responded, "Even if you graduate, the distance doesn't change."

Afterwards, Maeda sang her new song, "Time Machine Nante Iranai". This will be her first single after graduating from AKB48, and also her first solo single in a year and 3 months.

so that was the only connetion  

some say that acchan use it for promoting her single, but i think it was the other way around, if acchan should be seriously promoting her single in an akb concert it should be in tokyo not in saporro
