I haven't seen the show so can't comment on the performance, but this looks like an interesting mix of songs from all over the AKB48 repertoire. Indeed, one of the most interesting things is the inclusion of songs from all the sister groups (including SDN48!). Previously it has only been the sister groups performing AKB48 songs, so it is good to see it the other way around. As a Team 4 fan I'm a bit bitter about Hashire! Penguin, and hope Team K don't perform it at Request Hour, what with Suzuran's pushing of it at the senshuuraku. It will be interesting to see how these new teams work with the extended number of members, and how they will be rotated, and if the kenkyuusei will play a role in them.
