Detail still confusing, it said each prefecture will have 1 member. I will post more when I read and know more (have to go to work soon) or if someone knows more please do post. thanks.

[goratnik]

Unbelievable. Team with 47 members and NO primary schoolgirls? SMH, they could have done better.

Applications already started, that's always good to see more idols! \^o^/

[Mizura]

Its about time they added a team 8. But 47 girls in one team, thats a lot even for aKB48's standards.

[dev-null]

Each prefecture will have one candidate... so 47 candidates in the final round from which the girls of Team 8 will be selected.

[pink-ku]

They have been chosen:

*note that she has the same name as yuihan. The only difference is in the way their name is spelled in kanji. For team 8’s Yokoyama Yui it’s 横山結衣 while Yuihan’s is 横山由依

**This was probably a typo from modelpress since “Fukushima” was listed twice, but on different regions. Fukushima is located in the Tohoku region. I researched it, and I think they probably meant to put Tokushima

And fans have already dug up some dirt on Hirose Natsuki from Kochi: http://geinolabo.ldb...es/4740261.html

 

Blog: 

http://blog.crooz.jp...sukiloveokarie/

 

+ Twitter account, lots of images and text.

 

But wait, there's more...

 

In above article there's also other girls who are discovered, with blogs, twitter, purikura photos, etc.

[satchan]

It's gotta really suck wanting to do wonderful things with your life only to have something as innocuous as a past relationship or being friends with boys be your downfall because an opportunity like this never presented itself before now.

[Krusha]

Yeah...

 

Though I wonder... If you have a blog, how come you don't delete information on it as soon as you think about auditioning? OK perhaps it's difficult to remember, but certainly if you're into idols, you should be aware that many idols gets problems due to exactly these things - that of social media coming back to haunt them. Even if you cannot recall to do this, wouldn't there be some sort of advisor when you audition, that says "Oh and girls, if you got blogs and stuff, be sure to go through them and delete things that might hurt your popularity and chances if you were to make it through"?

 

It's not a great start to have these things appear, it kills interest in a lot of people.

Is the Kita Reina here the same as iDOL Streetsei's old Kita Reina?

Among the team 8 members, I'm interested in Tanikawa Hijiri (Hijirin).
