Being Japan’s biggest girl group (and we don’t mean just the number of members), plenty of fans have been waiting for them to visit Malaysia. Thanks to G-Yu Creative Co Ltd and Siam Connection Sdn Bhd, the concert will be held in conjunction with “Japan Expo Malaysia 2019”, which is taking place from 27 to 29 July 2019.
Formed in 2005, the popularity of the Akihabara-based idol group has spawned several sister groups in other parts of Japan as well as in other countries like China, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand.
Stay tuned for updates on which AKB48 members will be performing at the concert. Announcement will be made on Friday, 7 June 2019.
