AKB48 Art Club Members Revealed

Just last week, we posted about Akimoto Yasushi's plan for an AKB48 Art Club. Earlier today, February 15th, 2012, the AKB48 Art Club Captain Katayama Haruka announced on her Google+ page the 50 members that will be in the Club.

Here are the 50 members:

AKB48 Katayama Haruka (Captain) Nakamata Shiori Takajo Aki Suzuki Shihori Ishida Haruka Nito Moeno Nakagawa Haruka Ota Aika Maeda Ami Tanabe Miku Nakaya Sayaka Sato Natsuki Hirata Rina Fujie Reina SKE48 Furukawa Airi Yamashita Yukari Umemoto Madoka Yakata Miki Isohara Kyoka Takagi Yumana Sato Mieko Shibata Aya Kobayashi Ami Matsumura Kaori Ishida Anna Kato Tomoko Kaneko Shiori Tsuzuki Rika

NMB48 Kawakami Rena Koyanagi Arisa Ota Riona Kotani Riho Yamagishi Natsumi Hikawa Ayame Kadowaki Kanako Azuma Yuki Nakagawa Hiromi Shinohara Kanna Fukumoto Aina Nishizawa Rurina Mita Mao Kinoshita Momoka Shimada Rena Murakami Ayaka Yamaguchi Yuuki Ishida Yuumi Hayashi Momoka Koga Narumi HKT48 Shimono Yuki Imada Mina

So what do you think about the members?

One interesting thing is that the only AKB48 Senbatsu member present is Takajo Aki. I guess it's expected the the rest of the senbatsu members are quite busy. A number of popular SKE and NMB senbatsu members are also missing. I'm surprised at the large number of NMB48 members, and the small number of HKT48 members that have made it into the club. Such a huge imbalance.

I have to say I prefer it if the lineup was like this. We already know how fast Mayuyu can draw Sazae-san's Anago (8 seconds), and how Acchan can fold paper cranes from a 1cm X 1cm piece of paper. This would be a good way to find out about the skills the other less popular members have.
