Wiki Page (read about our members here) Youtube Playlist / Facebook KNS48 is a karaoke group dedicated to covering songs by popular J-pop phenomena such as AKB48 and its Japanese sister groups (SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, NGT48, and STU48), as well as their Sakamichi rival groups (Nogizaka46, Sakurazaka46, and Hinatazaka46). Our group consists of 30 members who share a passion for the 48 and Sakamichi Groups. The main objective of KNS48 is to provide a platform for overseas fans to unite through singing. The group's inception dates back to June 2013, and it has since grown into a large ensemble spanning seven generations of members from over 25 different countries worldwide. KNS48 follows the same structure as the real AKB48, where members are divided into teams: Team K, Team N, Team S and Team 4. Additionally, we have understudies who aspire to become full-fledged KNS48 members. Our song covers are usually organized into singles, similar to AKB48's format. Each single features a Senbatsu, responsible for singing the title track, and an Undergirls line-up for the first coupling track. Occasionally, the teams also have their own songs, which may be released separately or included in the singles. To enhance the group's idol-like authenticity, all KNS48 members adopt Japanese full names of their own choosing. This decision adds a fun element instead of using their real names or regular stage names. Each member also possesses an "idol face," a unique composite image created by combining different features from real 48-Group members. This personalized idol face represents each KNS48 member. Since its inception, KNS48 has been under the production and management of coverist Nakajima Mao, a member of the dubbing community since 2009. KNS48 is affiliated with the karaoke collective Tadashi Music Agency, which comprises various karaoke groups dedicated to singing songs by other J-pop groups and artists. Here is an list of all song covers we have released since our formation in 2013. TO BE UPDATED.

We opened up 2nd generation auditions just a few days ago, please audition [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0B6d-xeevo[/yt]
This concept is pretty freaking cool. And you all sound good! [clap] Spoiler Better than the original recordings, if I'm being completely honest. I sing a bit but my Japanese language skills are close to non-existent so I feel like I would just be a massive screw up. Maybe if I'm feeling more confident or just plain crazy at the time, I'll try out for 3rd Gen.
Oh, and I just did know it until now... I will try it when the auditions of third generation arrive. I am an amateur singer and I also had some experience on a chorus, so this can be a sort of nice thing :3. So, I will be aware of it and trying it out! ^_^
