I have an announcement to make for the fans.
These days, not only individual members, but also fans who support the team have increased.
Director Minami Takahashi, as well as the team captains of each group, have gathered and held meetings.
This has created a positive rivalry between the teams.
Just as the members have grown by competing in the general election,
I believe that the growth of the entire group is necessary for each team to compete.
So, AKB48 Group will hold a penalty race next January to see which team has the most support from the fans.
Tomorrow's draft meeting will be the first step in strengthening the team.
In addition, during the draft meeting, the team captain said that he wanted more time to train the candidates.
After confirming the negotiations with the candidates, we set up a new system for training members,
which includes regular members and students from each team.
I hope that the current regular members and students,
as well as the draft members selected by the members this time, will bring new possibilities.
I hope that the fans will warmly watch over the decision of the team captain at tomorrow's draft meeting.
We look forward to your continued support for the AKB48 group.
