AKB48 Group Dai Sokaku Matsuri Setlist + All Group Shuffle


On 24th February 2014, AKB48 held their all group shuffle [AKB48 Group Dai Sokaku Matsuri ~Jidai wa Kawaru. Dakedo, Bokuraha Mae Shika Mukanee!~]. All the teams from AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, and HKT48 got shuffled. None were left untouched, and even Nogizaka46 and JKT48 were affected. There were transfers between groups, plenty of concurrent members and promotions from kenkyuusei and the draft members.

The event started with each of the 12 current Japanese 48-group teams performing a song, before the shuffle took place. For shuffle results, see after the setlist below. Note all the members have until 26th February 2014 to appeal against their changes.

First the staff were shuffled, with perhaps the biggest change being Togasaki Tomonobu being demoted to customer service manager from AKB48 Group Manager. He has not appeared much during the last few months after his scandal where he was caught smoking synthetic cannabis. Replacing him is Shinobu Kayano who currently designs all the 48 group costumes. She will also continue in that role.

In AKB48, the only captain to remain from the current teams was Minegishi Minami of Team 4. Most members were moved about and all the current kenkyuusei were promoted. They stick to a 4 team system. Perhaps the biggest surprises in AKB48 were Kizaki Yuria transferring across from SKE48 to become Team 4 vice-captain, NMB48 Captain Yamamoto Sayaka becoming a concurrent member, and Ikoma Rina becoming the first Nogizaka46/AKB48 concurrent member. She was informed of this over the phone by Watanabe Mayu.

SKE48 had quite a lot of members transferred across from other groups, mainly AKB48. A biggest surprise was the first - Miyazawa Sae was made Team S Leader. Since her transfer to SNH48, she had previously rejected becoming concurrent with an AKB48 team again, so it will be interesting to see whether she takes up this role, particularly as she will remain concurrent with SNH48 in China. She was informed of her position over the telephone. The other big surprise was Matsui Rena being made a concurrent member with Nogizaka46. This was the second and last Nogizaka46 concurrency announced at this event.

In NMB48, as well as Team N captain Yamamoto Sayaka becoming a concurrent AKB48 member, Team M captain Yamada Nana will hold a concurrency with SKE48. Ex-Team B captain Umeda Ayaka transfers across to become Team BII Vice-Captain. There were a few more transfers, and the high profile concurrency of Kashiwagi Yuki in Team N.

HKT48 had only just got shuffled during their Kyushu 7 Prefectures Tour, however, they still got re-shuffled. A few kenkyuusei got promoted, more members got made concurrent, but the only sister group member they gained was Kimoto Kanon concurrent with SKE48.

JKT48 lost their concurrent members Takajo Aki and Nozawa Rena but gained a full transfer of Chikano Rina from AKB48.

Overall, there were far more changes than those mentioned above, so please check out the full team list below after the setlist:
