[News] AKB48 new Team 4

[SomethingWild]

I made a poll: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=36208.0 


I also wonder how Hilary, Miyupon and Sasaki feel about this. They have been KKS for aaages and then something like this comes along where relative noobs get into a team rather quickly. Then again, if I were them I'd probably be happy to be in A, K or B since those'll always have a stronger legacy...

I, uh, don't know how to say. Part of me is happy to see Miichan promoted moreover being a team captain. Part of me is disappointed because I won't see Nacchan in Team K, which is my ideal scenario. But once again Aki-P trolled us. He created something that once being disbanded. His trolling ability is on another level

^^ I used to wonder the same thing when Team 4 original was created and then started to have a lot of attention..... There were some members already promoted into A or K or B who were the same age as team 4 members.... But didn't necessarily get as much air time....

AKB48's resurrected Team 4 performs on the AKB stage for the first time

On November 3, AKB48's Team 4, which was reassembled in August, performed "Te o Tsunaginagara" for the first time on the AKB48 stage in Akihabara



The performance marks the promotion of 16 kenkyusei including Minegishi Minami (20), who was demoted due to a scandal, and Kojima Mako (16).  With an average age of 16, the team members wore shorts and uniforms, singing and dancing youthfully. 



Team captain Minegishi, who is the eldest team member, made a statement, "Although I am dressed youthfully, I have fought many things to get back to standing on this stage."  She added, "Although it is a bit terrifying, I think that AKB is seriously the best in live performances."  Team 4's first original song "Seijun Philosophy" was revealed for the first time during the group's performance in front of 250 fans.
