The latest and most surprising entry to the 48 family, creation of the one Akimoto Yasushi, 16 former-police/former-detectives has gathered to bring forth the most inspiring, innovative and revolutionary Idol group ever.

OJS48, which stands for O-Ji-San (elderly men), will debut their first single 深呼吸 Shinkokyu (deep breathing) on Oct 13th in Japan followed by a free live performance in a mall in Osaka on Oct 16th. Within the group, Nakatani Mitsuo(63) the man standing in the middle of the photo, an former Police Detective in Osaka has already an enka single of his own released last year with Akimoto as the producer. He leads the group in the first single while the 15 friends of his sing support for him. The former work positions of these gentlemen aren't jokes either, ranging from a few Superintendents and Station Chiefs to Tactics Squad against Violent Gangs and Police Kendo Coach. Don't take them lightly, they are serious business.



The average age of the group is 61 as of 2010. Currently there are 16 members, but we can expect the group to expand if they do well in the market. What can we expect from this group? Perhaps being in the 48 family will mean their appearances on AKB concerts and TV shows? Song sharing so we'll see OJS48 performing songs such as Aitakatta and Bingo? (Please don't)

Here is the PV of Shinkokyu


Also, I can't wait to wotagei to their songs. Name chant is a must.

uuuh interesting concept. but it sounds kinda peaceful. I bet this would be something for my Nan to enjoy maybe? i know she'll love this unit

[Tony Oguri]

LOL

The franchise is expanding.

[Arche-JoIyO]

I'd think it's a very good idea if it wasn't under the AKB48 family LOL

[sanrio]

if it doesnt carry the 48 name, no one would even realize they exist

but now i wonder if this will end up being a 1 time unit =/

[Tony Oguri]

A 1 time unit? Are you nuts? The young and pretty Jr. High School and Sr. High School girls love old men.
This outfit has the potential to outsell all the other xxx48 groups.

If they'll perform at the AKB48 Theater, I'll be there just to hang out with the huge crowd of lovely ladies.

[sanrio]

infiltrate their base and steal their fans huh, perhaps then Akimoto will spot you and ask you to join

oh man suddenly i really wish i am a grandson of one of them, now that they have close contact with akimoto and access to AKB girls =__=

[mixedmedia]

Would be interesting if one of them was the grandfather of an AKB, SKE, SDN or NMB girl.

[ｍｉｃｃｈｉｐｙｏｎ☆]

Again a new group?
But this time it's old men group?
Wtf Akimoto is really doing?

[Thiago3T]

It´s awersome! Akimoto gets some former-police/former-detectives to use for securitiy for his idols. Be careful guys

The group can sing some Detcetive Conan OP/ED


And I thinking if there´s any AKB´s father in the group......?

[YuzukoAria]

This is a bit too far, AkiP...just imagine AKB girls performing with them...

[Penmaster]

Aki-P...I think that it goes too far..

[kantutanTayo14]

Akimoto gets some former-police/former-detectives to use for securitiy for his idols.

Makes more sense over 48 Japanese Chippendales instead?

[Chimai]

What the heck?!?!

This is...

AWESOME. I don't even like xxx48 but I'm going to have to check this out.

[greah]

it's obvious what 48 stands for - average age

[Amee.]

^ Nah, I think the average age is more like 65.

[Tyzer]

^ Nah, I think it's 75, some of them look 70 - 80

[sanrio]
