​

In July 2005, Akimoto Yasushi held an audition for a new theater based idol girl group. Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 45 passed the first round of auditions. Finally, only 24 girls were chosen to be in the group. In December 2005, the group debuted in the theater with only 20 girls, later known as Team A.

I love you team A!! xD But recently I love Team K more... >_<

*runs*

 

XD me too

but there are members that I love too like Haruna *O* Mai, Minami an Mariko *O*

 

wonderful! great job compiling all that info....sure helps a lot!

 

Where is Team A fans
A-chan , Mii-chan , Tomochin
(＠⌒▽⌒＠)

 

mii-chan fan, cdevil, probably busy like the rest, i am sure they will visit soon, when they have time.

 

I say, "Motto! Motto!"

 

My fave team !
They have Takamina (^_^)V

Well, I also love their songs the most. Because when it's comes to members it's hard for me to say which team I love the most, since I have fave members in all teams :roll:
But I guess the songs and Takamina does it for me...

 

Haruna, A-chan, Tomochin, Mii-chan Kawaii

 

i'd say she has the best singing voice, but is not my favorite one...but i do like her. She did good in the Bird song....wonderful.

i am starting to memorize their nicknames...slowly...takamina, miichan...etc..

 

Yay Team A!!!
Thanks for the detailed 1st post Kyobu

I had been loving Team K more for a while, but Team A has become my fave again, mainly because 3 of my current top 5 - Miichan Hana Takamina - are in it.

 

FAVE TEAM!!!
Thx Kyobu for the details above...
Takamina and Tomochin are always my dynamite duo, though they don't get paired too often.
Want Maimai to be in front again...what a talent to waste...

 

team A songs are the best, my favs girls are from team A, so of course it's my fav

 

Is anyone else incredibly creeped out when the wota (who sound like English football hooligans...but with better English) shout "MOTTO MOTTO". It's so weird. If I was there I'd probably do the same but I'd only end up creeping myself out. Sorry the thread title just reminded me of that.

If it wasn't for Kasai, Team A would be my favourite team, because 2 of my Top 3 (Minegishi and Nakanishi, who I shall call: Nakagishi) are in Team A.

 

Yeah, Kasai is the main and only one from Team K, otherwise the majority of my favorites is off Team A.

 

I'm torn between team A, K and B
can't choose >.<

but I love KojiHaru and like Mariko, Mai and Rina
actually for a while I already lay my eyes on Mai but just know her name lately XD

 

While it is hard for me to choose a favorite team, my favorite girl is in this team. I still don't know if I would call Team A my favorite, though. I guess I don't have a favorite. However.....hearts are big enough to hold all 3 teams There's no reason why you can't share the love for all of them!

with that said....*cough*




*clears throat*


*ahem*






MIIIICHAN
