AKB48 to form a new "Team 8", to kick off in March and make their theater debut in August

AKB48 announced that they will be forming their 5th team called "Team 8" at the presscon prior to the AKB Request Hour Setlist Best 100, held on the 23rd of January. The new team will not consist of trainees and existing members. Instead, Fuji TV and the various TV stations from the 47 prefectures in Japan will hold a nationwide audition, as 1 representative from each prefecture will form the group (A total of 47 people).

AKB has always had the concept of "idols you can meet", but this new team will be "idols who will come to meet you" as they will be travelling around the nation to meet their fans.

They will be kicking off their activities at Akihabara's AKB48 Theater, and will be making their rounds to perform all around the nation, and increase the amount of provincial tours. This "come to meet you" concept is supported by Toyota, a first time for AKB where a team will be fully supported by a corporation.

General Manager Minami Takahashi comments: "AKB48 definitely needs to inject some fresh, new blood. I want girls to try and make that step forward and grab this opportunity. Together, let's all deliver smiles to the people". Team K captain Yuko Oshima comments: "As we will literally be gathering the best from all over the nation, I hope this will help rouse up Japan as a country".

尚、会いに行くと言って始めたツアーは途中で投げっぱなしの模様
However, it seems that they have left the tour where they said that they "will come and meet the fans" up in the air

それがポシャったから発足したんじゃね？
That's why they're starting this project because that one just fell through

こいつらいつまで詐欺やるつもりなんだ

Until when are these guys going to keep up with their frauds?

トヨタ全面支援て入れたらもっとスレ伸びたのに
The thread would've probably gotten longer if they included "full backup from Toyota" on the thread title

　どうせトヨタ一族の子がセンターなんだろ？　 
But I bet that they're just going to put a girl from the Toyota clan as the center, right?

デリバリーアイドル略してデリドル 

濁音多くて流行りそう

Delivery idols a.k.a. Delidol (Deridoru)

That's got a lot of syllables, and I think it will become popular

27: 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2014/01/23(木) 21:29:34.26 ID:Eam7XFN60

どこまで増殖するのね
Just how much further are they planning to expand?

うちの娘応募させよかな 

四国のど田舎県だから倍率は低いはず 

ただ一番の問題は客観的に見ても残念な・・・ 

いや俺は世界一可愛いと思ってる

Maybe I should let my daughter join the auditions.
I live in a remote prefecture in Shikoku so she might have a high chance.

But the biggest problem is that people around would say that she's got a disappointing....
Uhm, I personally think that she's the cutest girl in the world, though.

しかしこいつらはどんだけ人数増やせば気が済むんだろうか 

握手会地獄でまともに面倒見てもらえるわけでもないのにな 

Just how much more do they have to grow in number for them to become satisfied?
There's no way that they'll be properly looked after, what with the handshake hell that awaits them.

33: 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2014/01/23(木) 21:33:55.36 ID:iQeKILy5O

で売れたら会いにはいきませんけどね 

売れるまでステマよろしくお願いします。 

ってことだ

...And they won't be coming to meet you anymore once they become popular.
It just means
"Please keep on stealth marketing for us until we become popular."

おい、おまいら、そろそろAKB、オワリにしないかい
Hey, you guys, isn't it about time to finish off AKB?

攻めの一手だな 

これでこそＡＫＢだよ

It's just all out attack from their side.
This is how AKB is.

>>39 

だな 

すでに確固たる国民的アイドルグループの地位を確立してるのに 

現状に油断、怠慢なしに攻めていく 

これがＡＫＢ４８の国民的たる所以だよな

Exactly.
They've already established their status as the national idol group, yet they're showing no signs of negligence and letting their guards down, and just keep going on the attack. Hence, AKB48 are indeed national idols.

ドサ回り要員ですか 

なんか期間限定くさい即席感だがどの程度のが集まるのかね

Dedicated roving team, huh.
It still reeks of that limited-edition, impromptu kind of thing, but I wonder how many people they'll be able to gather.

大島とか年取ったやつが卒業していく一方だからなんか必死で色んな事やってるな 

まあもう長くはないだろ

They seem desperate and are experimenting with stuff since the girls who have gotten older like Oshima will be graduating. 

I guess they don't have that much time left ahead of them.

馬鹿な自治体がカネ使いそう
I can see a stupid local self-governing body using money here

ああ。。また勘違いする素人女が47人も誕生するのか。
Ahhh.. So this will yet again give birth to 47 assuming girls.

And another money-making machine will be set in motion

要するに昨日まで素人だった子をＡＫＢですって全国ツアーやらせるんだろ？ 

さすがにアホなＡＫＢヲタでも怒るだろ

Which means that these amateurs until yesterday will say "We're AKB" and go on a nationwide tour?
Wouldn't this make even the dumb AKB-wotas mad?

AKBってそんなもんよ
That's pretty much how AKB is

そういや、AKBって一昨年あたりから47都道府県回るって宣言して頓挫してるね 

これがかわりだったりして

By the way, AKB said that they'll be going around the 47 prefectures since about 2 years ago, and suffered a hitch, right?
Maybe this is what will take its place.

65: 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2014/01/23(木) 22:07:11.36 ID:Fi6RkNtA0

1都道府県1人って相当倍率差あるな
If it's 1 girl per prefecture, then there will be quite a huge disparity in the odds among each prefecture

人口少ない県、例えば鳥取県のオーディションに広島県とかの娘が住民票一時的に移して受けたら面白いな

It would be interesting to see, for example, a girl from Hiroshima to temporarily move her residence to a prefecture that has a small population like Tottori, and go audition there

鳥取弁で自己紹介、そして自分の長所を言ってください…、で撃沈されそうだｗ

That girl will be shot down once she's asked to introduce herself and talk about her assets using the Tottori dialect w

AKBは嫌いではないけれど、流石にコレはもう終わりの始まりな気がする
I don't really hate AKB, but I'm getting the feeling that this is the beginning of the end for them
