AKB48 Tokyo Aki Matsuri

FINALLY I have proper access to internet. Hasn't been working properly since a week ago and I only had limited access so I can't access a number of sites (blogger is one of them).

   AKB48 held a live event spanning two days from 9 to 10 October. The live event, [AKB48 Tokyo Aki Matsuri] was held at the Kasai Rinkai Park. The events on 9 October were held in heavy rain, but regardless of that more than 13,000 fans went to the event. AKB48 Tokyo Aki Matsuri was held to promote the city's zoo and aquarium.

   There was [Yuru Yuru Karaoke] during the day time, where the members of AKB48 had a karaoke competition and they were allowed to sing any song by any artist, and they then had to follow it up with a short performance. At night was the live concert. The setlist for both events on both days, as well as the events and announcements, are below the jump.

Events and Announcements
Kenkyuusei Yokoyama Yui promoted to Team K
   Congratulations to Yokoyama Yui. Full post coming up.

11th Gen Kenkyuuseis had their debut appearance. Members are:
Kawakami Marina
Kawaei Rina
Okazaki Chinami
Ushikubo Sara
Yamaguchi Nau
Morikawa Ayaka
Natori Wakana
Toyoda Saki

   Older fans probably noticed one familiar name in there. Yes, ex-Kenkyuusei Suzuki Shihori is back as 11th gen Kenkyuusei. She graduated from the group last year, a week after she got promoted to Team B during the Budoukan Concert.

More foreign concerts are planned
23 October: Korea
24 October: Hong Kong
30 October: Shanghai
November: Russia
November: Singapore
Milan concert is canceled

Documentary by AKB48
   AKB48 will produce a documentary film to be shown in theaters. The documentary will be titled [DOCUMENTARY of AKB48 to be continued,] and is directed by Iwai Shunji (the guy who directed the PV for Sakura no Shiori). The movie will cover AKB48's activities in 2010. Release date is 22 January 2010.

Beginner PV to be editied
   Yes you did read that right. The original PV was deemed too gory and unsuitable for younger audiences, so AKB48 were forced to change it. The gory parts (like Kojiharu being sliced in two, Mayuyu being stabbed from all directions and Acchan ripping off her hand, etc) will be replaced with dance shots and making of scenes. Many fans could not accept this fact and have canceled their preorder.
