AKB48

Those Japanese never cease to amaze me. This year AKB48 splashed onto the music scene there and I guess are pretty popular. Three troops of 16 girls, A, K and B (don't ask me why).

They also have a "seed" group, which I guess are younger girls to replace anyone who hits 17, or has a period, which ever comes first.

They have their own theater and perform daily (twice on weekends). Tickets are 2000 Yen for men (about $18 US) and 1/2 that for kids and women (wonder why that is??).

Well, they should keep the school girl uniform manufacturers in business for years.

Gotta admit they are cute.
