    Team 8 will be performing Team A's 5th Stage "Renai Kinshi Jorei" in the theater.



    I'm interested in how this will pan out. Even with Toyota sponsoring Aki-P isn't motivated enough to come up with new stages huh..

    I wonder who is gonna be placed in Acchan's position. Maybe they'll let her in the group as a KKS after this thing ends.

    I thought the point of Team 8 was "Members who will drive to you"
    Don't you have to be at least 17 to drive in Japan?

    Lol at Yokoyama Yui. Shouldn't she have to change her name ? This is not like Okada Nana who's nammed like the singer from the 70s, this time they are on the same group, that could lead to awkward situations.

    Well, I can't wait to get more infos on the girls and the team.

    I think the emphasis was on idols who come to you, not necessarily drive to you. Even if they were all licensed to drive (which would be highly unusual), I don't think they'd ever go to meet random fans totally on their own. I imagine they'll have a driver, some type of assistant, a few camera crew people, etc.

    Oh man, this is just awful. Didn't they originally say they would cut it to 16?

    It really hasn't been clear whether or not this is temporary. People have been assuming it is, but they could easily decide to make "Team 8" a new official team and try to integrate 47 new girls into AKB at once. They've certainly left that option open. More does not always equal better! There needs to be a limit. Geez

    When this whole campaign is over, maybe the 16~20 best/most popular girls would be the new official not Toyota related Team 8 and the other would be KKS.
    I really hope this is not temporary, that would be kind of harsh for the girls if they didn't know it beforehand.

    Used to be a child model? Did she retire at the ripe old age of 7? Because she looks about 9 years old here. :blink:

    Yokoyama Yui has different kanji writing in her name with 'the' Yokoyama Yui though, so it's not a problem for Japanese I think [hehe]

    I see all the 2000s... and I just can't. Guess it should've been expected.

    Definitely looking forward to see all of the girls though.

    Nagano Serika looks really interesting. I kept on wondering who she reminded me of and it hit me that she looked like Yoshitaka Yuriko. Faintly, of course, she's only 13 so she'll look different down the road but she looks very cute! I wasn't interested in Toyota Team 8 before but I might have someone to keep tabs on as the group goes forward.
