AKB48 Announced Their Coming Tokyo Dome Concert At The First Day of Saitama Arena

  March 25, 2012

AKB48 started their concert at Saitama Super Arena, titled “AKB48 concert Gyomu-Renraku, Tanomuzo Katayama Manager!” on 23th Mar.

This concert will be held 3 days in row from the day, and more than 70 thousands tickets were sold out in a flash. So what was their Gyomu Renraku (Businness Announce)? At the opening of the concert the big screen displayed the word “We go for Tokyo Dome Concert!!”. Following this announce, 6 of AKB48 members, Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, Minami Takahashi, Yuki Kashiwagi, Mayu Watanabe and Haruka Kozima, appeared onto stage riding on the floating gondola as singing their rock tune, “give me five”.

Minami Takahashi hyped the 25,000 audience with her energetic voice. Their sister groups SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, JKT48, SDN48 all join the concert and performed with thier orignal numbers, along with special collaborative songs, and Unit Shuffle numbers. Watari Roka Hashiritai welcomed it’s new member, Kazumi Urano from SDN48, and performed their latest song, “Syonenyo Uso wo Tsuke (Tell A Lie, Boyz)”

New unit called GuGu Tasu (cute translation of Google Plus in Japanese), started off from AKB48’s google plus page, also gave a first performance of the song “GuGu Tasu no Sora (Google Plus’s sky)”.

This concert is a last joint performance of SDN48 and AKB48 since SDN48 will be dissolved on 31th Mar marked by their last solo concert on the same day held at NHK hall, Tookyo.

Yuko Oshima, the leader of AKB48, talked to fans with teary eyes, “This is a last time we are on stage together, but this is not a sad separation. This is a one step forward to their dream. Please keep continue supporting them.”
